Pending a hearing next month, guitarist Young-White, 27, must stay at least 100 yards (91 metres) from both the “I Like Dat” singer and their little girl.
Here’s everything we know about Kehlani’s baby daddy and the drama behind the restraining order.
Javaughn Young-White was Kehlani’s guitarist
Kehlani and Young-White confirmed their relationship to the public on Nicki Minaj’s Queen Radio in 2018, a week after the “After Hours” singer announced she was pregnant with their now five-year-old daughter Adeya Nomi.
While it is unclear when Kehlani and Young-White started their romance, the former couple reportedly met because Young-White was a guitarist for the singer. The couple parted ways soon after welcoming their daughter in 2019, as per Distractify.
He has a famous brother
Young-White is the younger brother of comedian and writer Jaboukie Young-White, who’s best known for his appearances on the satirical American late-night news show The Daily Show, formerly hosted by Trevor Noah.
