Humble Soul and Shantel’s Custody Battle Over Daughter Najat Pushed to 2027

The custody dispute between Ghanaian TikToker Humble Soul and his baby mama, Shantel, concerning their daughter Najat, has been adjourned until 2027 following a court sitting that ended without any substantive arguments.

Both parties are scheduled to return to court on January 29, 2027, after agreeing to the new date on Friday, November 13.

Speaking to the media, Humble Soul’s lawyer disclosed that his legal team had attended court anticipating an update on a social welfare report the judge had requested to help with the custody proceedings. However, the hearing took an unexpected turn when Shantel’s lawyer filed an amended custody application, which was served on Humble Soul’s legal team on the morning of the court appearance.

The lawyer explained that they required time to carefully examine the new documents and prepare an appropriate response before addressing the court.

The proceedings were further affected by the absence of the presiding judge, as well as the unavailability of the judge who was expected to take over the case.

With the Christmas and New Year holidays fast approaching, the lawyers on both sides agreed that January 29, 2027, would be a more practical date to resume the matter.

The court has yet to make a determination on the custody arrangements for Najat, as the disagreement between the former partners remains unresolved.

The case continues to draw public attention, given the profile of both parties, with fans and followers awaiting the eventual outcome of the legal tussle over the young child’s custody.
