In response, the singer took to Instagram to address the rumors, provide context, and clear up any misunderstandings about her intentions.
On November 13, Kehlani’s statement about her daughter being “her wife in a past life” was cited in court by her ex, leading to speculation about the singer’s relationship with her child. This remark, which Kehlani asserts was meant to be lighthearted, quickly became a topic of public scrutiny, with some interpreting it as a serious and uncomfortable comment.

In her Instagram post, Kehlani explained that the “wife in a past life” comment stemmed from a past life reading she had done, which she shared humorously with her child’s father. “I shared what I considered to be a lighthearted recap with my child’s father, laughing at it and considering it something light and not to be taken seriously,” she wrote. Kehlani expressed frustration that the comment, intended as a playful joke, was now being weaponized in their ongoing custody dispute.
Kehlani firmly denied any inappropriate behavior with her daughter and condemned the allegations, calling them “the most heartbreaking thing” she’s ever heard. “To make me seem like I consider myself to be in an inappropriate relationship with my daughter is devastating,” she wrote, noting that recent accusations in court have gone too far. According to Kehlani, these allegations are not only false but have severely impacted her as a mother.
As part of her response, Kehlani shared screenshots of the original conversation with her ex to show the tone was, in her words, “more playful than troubling.” In the messages, Kehlani is seen casually mentioning, “She was my wife once lol,” followed by a dismissive comment about people lying. Kehlani asserted that her words were taken out of context to paint her in a negative light during an already difficult custody battle.
In her statement, Kehlani expressed determination to address the rest of what she describes as “monstrous” allegations through the legal system. “This is where I absolutely draw the line,” she declared, explaining that she would continue to fight these accusations in court. While details of the custody proceedings are ongoing, Kehlani made it clear that she would not tolerate false narratives being used to question her relationship with her daughter.
The controversy around Kehlani’s remark highlights the complexities that can arise in public custody battles, where private comments risk being amplified and distorted in ways that are painful for those involved. Through her response, Kehlani hopes to correct the narrative, asking her followers to consider the context of her remarks and respect her commitment to her role as a mother.
Wait! So, Kehlani believes her daughter has the spirit of one of her past life’s wives. Girl what😭pic.twitter.com/lv0ALvwbNx
