A high-profile custody dispute has emerged involving singer Kehlani and her former partner, Javaughn Young-White. Young-White has filed a legal petition seeking sole custody of their five-year-old daughter, Adeya Nomi. Central to his claim is the allegation that Kehlani is deeply involved in a religious cult, a situation he believes poses a significant risk to their child’s well-being.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Young-White asserts that Kehlani’s affiliation with the cult has had a detrimental impact on their co-parenting relationship, significantly limiting his access to their daughter. He expresses grave concerns about the cult leader, who he claims has a history of sexual misconduct.
The custody battle has also brought to light Young-White made public allegations regarding Kehlani’s portrayal of their relationship. He contends that the singer misrepresented their dynamic for personal and professional gain, presenting him as a casual acquaintance rather than a committed partner.
Legal experts anticipate a complex and contentious legal battle as both parties seek custody of their child. The case has drawn significant public attention and has ignited broader conversations about the potential dangers associated with cult involvement.
Child welfare advocates have emphasized the paramount importance of protecting the child’s best interests during this tumultuous time. As the legal proceedings unfold, the court will be tasked with determining custody arrangements that prioritize the well-being of Adeya Nomi.
It is important to note that these are allegations, and the accused has not been proven guilty in a court of law. The situation is complex, and it is essential to approach the case with empathy and understanding.
This is a developing story. More details will be provided as they become available.

Barkley said at the time that the 2024-25 season would be his last on television, no matter what eventually happened with the NBA’s media deal negotiations. He signed a 10-year contract extension with TNT Sports in 2022.
Warner Bros. Discovery, the parent company of TNT Sports, has sued the NBA in New York state court after the league did not accept the company’s matching offer for one of the packages in its new 11-year media rights deal, which will begin with the 2025-26 season.
“I love my TNT Sports family. My (number one) 1 priority has been and always will be our people and keeping everyone together for as long as possible. We have the most amazing people, and they are the best at what they do. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with them both on the shows we currently have and new ones we develop together in the future. This is the only place for me,” Barkley said in a statement. “I have to say … I’ve been impressed by the leadership team who is fighting hard and have been aggressive in adding new properties to TNT Sports, which I am very excited about. I appreciate them and all of my colleagues for their continued support, and most importantly our fans. I’m going to give my all as we keep them entertained for years to come.”
ESPN/ABC, NBC and Amazon Prime Video were expected to try to court Barkley before Tuesday’s announcement. “Inside the NBA” host Ernie Johnson has also said he intends to remain with TNT but the futures of Shaquille O’Neal and Kenny Smith remain uncertain.

Barkley joined TNT in 2000 and has been a part of the iconic “Inside the NBA” show, which has won 21 Sports Emmy Awards and has been a model for studio shows. Barkley took home his fifth Sports Emmy for Outstanding Studio Analyst in May.
What Barkley’s future looks like if TNT does not have the NBA remains to be seen. Turner has had an NBA package since 1984 and games have been on TNT since the network launched in 1988.
However, the relationship started to become strained when Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav said during an RBC Investor Conference in November 2022 that Turner and WBD “don’t have to have the NBA.”
TNT Sports also carries the NHL and NCAA men’s basketball tournament with CBS. It recently has added the College Football Playoffs, Big East basketball, NASCAR and the French Open.
“Charles is one of the best and most beloved sportscasters in the history of television. I know I speak for all the members of the TNT Sports family when I say we are incredibly thrilled to share this mutual commitment to continue showcasing Charles’ one-of-a-kind talents and entertain fans well into the future,” TNT Sports Chairman and CEO Luis Silberwasser said in a statement. “We continue to add to the breadth and depth of our sports portfolio and it’s fantastic to have Charles for this journey as we develop new content ideas and shows for our fans.”
Barkley was the co-host of “King Charles,” a weekly talk show on CNN with “CBS Mornings” co-host Gayle King. But the limited-run series ended in April after six months.

Social media sensation turned pop artist, Addison Rae, has sent her millions of fans into overdrive with a cryptic yet exciting announcement. The 23-year-old took to her social media platforms to reveal that her highly anticipated new single, titled “Diet Pepsi,” is set to drop on Friday, August 9th.
The news comes as a thrilling surprise for Rae’s dedicated fanbase, who have been eagerly awaiting fresh music since her captivating appearance on Charli XCX’s remix. With the pre-save link already live in her bio, fans are wasting no time in securing their spot for the upcoming release.
Rae’s musical journey has been nothing short of meteoric. Her debut EP, “AR,” released last year, was met with enthusiastic acclaim from both fans and critics alike. The four-track project showcased her vocal range and songwriting talent, solidifying her position as a rising star in the pop music scene.
In a recent interview with PEOPLE, Rae expressed her immense satisfaction with the EP, describing the process as “joyful, exciting, fulfilling, and rewarding.” The young artist’s passion for music is evident in every note, and her genuine excitement is infectious.
While “Obsessed” marked Rae’s initial foray into the music industry in 2021, it wasn’t until the leak of several demo tracks in 2022 that the full extent of her musical potential became apparent. The unexpected release of these unfinished gems created a fervent buzz among fans and industry insiders alike.
Rae admitted to being surprised by the leak but embraced the opportunity it presented. “After the songs surfaced online, I was like, ‘Oh, I wish there was a way that I could have these out,’” she confessed. The leaked tracks, including “I Got It Bad” and “2 Die 4,” quickly gained traction, with fans eagerly anticipating their official release.
The wait finally ended with the release of “AR,” which included the previously leaked tracks alongside two additional songs, “Nothing On (But the Radio)” and “It Could’ve Been U.” Both of these tracks had also circulated online before their official release.
Rae’s inclusion of “Nothing On (But the Radio)” on the EP was particularly exciting for fans, as early versions of the song, recorded by Lady Gaga, had leaked years ago. The track has been a subject of fascination for music enthusiasts, and Rae’s rendition has generated significant interest.
The young star expressed her admiration for Gaga, calling her a “pioneer for pop” and expressing curiosity about the pop icon’s potential reaction to her version of the song.
Rae’s keeping her next moves under wraps. She’s focused on music right now, but who knows what else she’s got cooking up? With her star on the rise, the sky’s the limit for this girl!
Fans eagerly anticipate the release of “Diet Pepsi” and can’t wait to see what Rae has in store for them next.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell has defeated U.S. Rep. Cori Bush in a Democratic primary in St. Louis, marking the second time this year that one of the party’s incumbents has been ousted in an expensive contest that reflected deep divisions over the war in Gaza.
Bush, a member of the progressive congressional group known as the “Squad,” was seeking a third term in Missouri’s 1st Congressional District, which includes St. Louis city and part of St. Louis County. Bell is heavily favored to carry this overwhelmingly Democratic district in November when his party is aiming to retake control of the U.S. House.
“I am committed to serving the St. Louis region in Congress with integrity, transparency, and dedication,” Bell said in a statement. “Together, we will tackle the challenges ahead and build a community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.”
Bush, in a fiery concession speech, said she still has work to do, even if she’ll no longer be in Congress.
“At the end of the day, whether I’m a congresswoman or not, I’m still taking care of my people,” Bush said.
Bell’s campaign received a big boost from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, whose super political action committee, United Democracy Project, spent $8.5 million to oust Bush. She was targeted after repeated criticism of Israel’s response to the Oct. 7 Hamas attack.
It was a gameplan that worked earlier this year in New York. In June, United Democracy Project spent $15 million to defeat another Squad member — U.S. Rep. Jamaal Bowman. Bowman lost to George Latimer, a pro-Israel centrist.
A statement from United Democracy Project said the wins by Bell and Latimer, along with John McGuire’s defeat of U.S. Rep. Bob Good in a Republican primary last week in Virginia, “is further proof that being pro-Israel is good policy and good politics on both sides of the aisle. UDP will continue our efforts to support leaders working to strengthen the U.S.-Israel alliance while countering detractors in either political party.”
Bush, in her concession speech, said she won’t change.
“We will keep supporting a free Palestine,” Bush said. A crowd member answered back: “Free, free Palestine.”

In October, Bush called the Israeli retaliation an “ethnic cleansing campaign.” Soon after the Hamas attack, Bush wrote on social media that Israel’s “collective punishment against Palestinians for Hamas’s actions is a war crime.”
Her comments prompted backlash, even among some supporters in her district. Bell, who had been planning a Senate run against incumbent Republican Josh Hawley, instead opted to challenge Bush. He told The Associated Press last month that Bush’s comments about Israel were “wrong and offensive.”
Bush responded by saying that the donors behind AIPAC support former President Donald Trump and other Republicans.
“This is only the beginning,” Bush told the AP. “Because if they can unseat me, then they’re going to continue to come after more Democrats.”
Bush and Bell both honed their leadership skills in Ferguson, Missouri, in the unrest that followed Michael Brown’s death at the hands of a police officer in 2014. Friday marks the 10th anniversary of Brown’s death.
Brown, a Black 18-year-old, was walking with a friend on Aug. 9, 2014, when a white officer, Darren Wilson, confronted them. Wilson said he fired in self-defense because Brown was so enraged. Some witnesses said Brown, who was unarmed, had his hands up in surrender. Wilson was cleared of wrongdoing and resigned, and Brown’s death led to months of protests.
Bush, 48, became a protest leader. She was outspoken and critical of how police in Ferguson and other parts of the St. Louis region treated Black people. Her activism prompted an unsuccessful run against longtime incumbent 1st District Democrat William Lacy Clay in 2018, before she defeated him in 2020. She easily won reelection in 2022.
Bell, 49, began hosting conversations about community policing after Brown’s death. The lawyer, who previously served as a municipal prosecutor and judge, ran successfully for a seat on the Ferguson City Council before defeating seven-term incumbent St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Bob McCulloch in the August 2018 Democratic primary.

As prosecutor, Bell reopened an examination into Brown’s death. He announced in July 2020 that while the investigation didn’t exonerate Wilson, there wasn’t enough evidence to charge him.
“My heart breaks” for Brown’s parents, Bell said at the time. “I know this is not the result they were looking for and that their pain will continue forever.”
Brown’s father, Michael Brown Sr., was featured in an ad for Bush.
“He used my family for power,” Brown says of Bell in the ad. “And now he’s trying to sell out St. Louis.”
Bush’s campaign focused on what she’s accomplished for St. Louis. She said her efforts have brought $2 billion to the 1st District and that it was her protest on the steps of the Capitol in 2021 that helped extend the federal eviction moratorium as part of the COVID-19 pandemic, aiding thousands of St. Louisans.
Bell touted his own progressive credentials. He noted that as a prosecutor he has said he will not prosecute any abortion cases in a state that bans the procedure in most instances. He created diversion programs to point people with mental health and substance abuse problems toward treatment instead of jail. And his office has expanded efforts to examine potential cases of wrongful convictions.
In Missouri’s 3rd District, which stretches from the western outskirts of the St. Louis region through central Missouri, the candidate with Trump’s endorsement won. Bob Onder, a physician and also a former state senator, defeated former state Sen. Kurt Schaefer.
Trump wrote on Truth Social last month that Onder was “an incredible America First Patriot.” The former president wrote that Schaefer “is WEAK ON MAGA,” adding, “That’s all you have to know!”
The 3rd District is heavily Republican, and Onder will be favored against Democrat Bethany Mann, a political newcomer, in November.

HOUSTON (AP) — Actor Akili McDowell, who starred in the television series “David Makes Man” and had roles in “Billions” and “The Astronaut Wives Club,” has been charged with fatally shooting a man in the parking lot of a Houston apartment complex, authorities said.
McDowell, 21, was charged last week with murder in the July 20 shooting death of Cesar Peralta, 20, the Harris County sheriff’s office said. McDowell remained in jail Monday on $400,000 bond on the murder charge. The attorney listed for him in court records did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
“This is an unfortunate situation and I am in prayer for Akili and those impacted by this tragedy,” said his manager, Jonell Whitt, adding that she had no further comment.

The sheriff’s office said deputies found an unresponsive man with gunshot wounds after responding to a call about a shooting at an apartment complex on July 20. The sheriff’s office said several witnesses told deputies the man had been in a physical altercation with another man, who fled on foot after the shooting.
“David Makes Man,” which aired on Oprah Winfrey’s OWN, followed a teen named David, played by McDowell, who tried to juggle relationships between his magnet school friends and drug dealers in his impoverished South Florida neighborhood.
According to the entertainment database IMDb, McDowell appeared in some episodes of “Billions” and “The Astronaut Wives Club,” and has a role in the recently released movie “The Waterboyz.”
If you’re from Gen X, there’s a pretty good chance Jon B’s classic love song “They Don’t Know” is your jam. It’s one of those tracks that instantly takes you back to the emotional times of your first serious romance. Though he had a few other hits in the ‘90s, this is definitely Jon B’s signature song.
Jon B. – They Don’t Know (Official Video)
Over the years, there have been countless covers of the song, but one in particular has Jon B feeling some type of way. During a recent appearance on the “Can We Talk R&B?” podcast, the “Someone to Love” singer made his thoughts on Gunna and Chlöe’s “You & Me,”—which samples the guitar and lyrics from his hit—very clear.

“They put that ratchet record out that I couldn’t stand, and I wish they never did,” he said. “[They] actually never got my rights to do that record, either, so, Gunna, we gotta holler about that… That’s some business s—- we got to handle.”

Art is always subjective, however, we’ve certainly heard better versions. As usual, Chlöe’s vocals are beautiful. Maybe next time, just let her sing the whole song. The track’s music video on YouTube features quite a few new comments from people who were curious after Jon B’s remarks. It seems most of them agree with the singer.
One person sided with the ‘90s R&B star, writing, “Jon B brought me here and I can for 1000% sure say that he was right.”
Another viewer noted how disrespectful it was to do this without the original artist’s consent, replying, “It’s unfortunate that this song was made without Jon B’s permission and blessing. He deserved recognition and his flowers for real.”
Someone else, didn’t mince words as they made their thoughts on remakes known, writing, “Leave the old good stuff ALONE!”
Based on the comments under the video, a lot of people didn’t even know this song existed. While Jon B has every right to be upset about an allegedly unauthorized sample, his words have actually brought more attention to the track he despises.
