Rapper Real Boston Richey is facing intense legal scrutiny after being hit with felony domestic violence charges stemming from a disturbing incident involving his pregnant girlfriend, Tatiana Chanell. The alleged assault took place on March 30 during a night out at the upscale Houston nightclub Sekai, and has since sparked widespread public outcry.
According to detailed reports, Chanell alleges that Richey choked her approximately 20 times over a span of two hours, despite her being around two months pregnant at the time. A separate viral video from the same evening shows the Florida rapper aggressively grabbing a phone from Chanell, fueling concerns about escalating violence behind the scenes.
Disturbing Allegations and Traumatic Details
In her formal complaint, Chanell describes a terrifying ordeal that unfolded inside a vehicle where she claims Richey trapped her and carried out repeated assaults. The choking episodes allegedly caused her to lose consciousness multiple times, experience shortness of breath, and even vomit. Despite two other individuals being present during parts of the incident, it was reportedly a mutual friend who eventually stepped in to halt the violence.
The gravity of these allegations has cast a dark shadow over Richey’s career, with many fans and fellow artists calling for accountability.
A History of Controversy: Age-Gap Relationship Under Fire
This isn’t the first time Richey and Chanell’s relationship has come under public scrutiny. In 2023, social media exploded with claims that Richey, now 26, had been romantically involved with Chanell while she was still a minor. At the time, Richey took to livestream to deny the accusations, insisting that Chanell was 23 years old—a claim he never backed with verifiable proof.
The controversy reignited when Chanell celebrated her 18th birthday in January 2024, with a lingerie-themed photoshoot and a cake emblazoned with the word “legal,” a pointed response to critics questioning the timeline of their relationship.
Chanell’s Mother Fires Back at Public Backlash
Adding to the drama, Chanell’s mother jumped into the fray with a passionate Instagram post defending her daughter and attacking online commentators. “Why y’all hoes so pressed about my daughter? Y’all weird AF,” she wrote, dismissing the public’s concerns and claiming that outsiders had no understanding of their family’s private life.
While Richey has yet to issue an official public statement regarding the current felony charges, the mounting evidence—including police reports, video footage, and eyewitness testimony—is fueling calls for legal action and potential industry repercussions.
A Career on the Brink
As the legal battle unfolds, Real Boston Richey’s future in music hangs in the balance. The severity of the accusations, combined with his prior controversies, could lead to canceled shows, dropped sponsorships, and further damage to his reputation. In an industry where public image and accountability matter more than ever, Richey’s next moves may determine whether he can recover—or if this marks a serious turning point in his career.
