Real Boston Richey‘s now-ex, Tatiana Chanell, has broken her silence following the charges brought against him over an incident where he allegedly choked her at least 20 times.
In a post to her Instagram this week, Tatiana wrote: “I want to address a deeply personal and painful situation that has recently occurred. While pregnant, I was physically assaulted and choked by my former boyfriend Jalen aka Boston Richey. This experience has been traumatic and heartbreaking beyond words. I want to be clear I do not condone, support or excuse any form of domestic violence. No one deserves to be hurt, especially during such a vulnerable time.”
She continued: “My priority right now is the safety and the well-being of myself and my future. I ask for privacy and respect during this painful time. Thank you to everyone who has reached out with concern. I greatly appreciate all of your support during this hard time.”
According to documents obtained by The Neighborhood Talk earlier this week, Tatiana is accusing Richey of assaulting her following an incident at Houston nightclub Sekai on March 30.
Video of the night showing Richey snatching a phone out of her hand had previously gone viral, but Tatiana has detailed a far more brutal chain of events that followed in her newly-filed charges.
Per her report, Tatiana says Richey forced her into the back of a vehicle and prevented her from leaving as he choked her around 20 times over a two-hour period – all while knowing she was around two months pregnant at the time.
The choking was allegedly so severe that she lost consciousness multiple times, stopped breathing for multiple seconds at a time and at one point even vomited. And she says that though there were two other people in the car the entire time, the assault didn’t end until a mutual friend finally stepped in and intervened.
Last year, Real Boston Richey was accused of being a pedophile when word spread that Tatiana had only just turned 18.
According to him, however, that wasn’t the case.
In a livestream that surfaced, he said, “This girl 23,” but offered no proof of the fact as he enjoyed a trip on a boat with her.
Richey had previously been accused of being with the girl when she was legally underage, with a viral post on X saying: “boston richey is 26 YEARS OLD that girl literally just turned 18???????????
“And he’s been fucking with her way before she even turned legal so yes he’s a pedophile, she’s literally nearly a decade younger than him what.”
Despite his claim though, she celebrated her birthday that January with a lingerie shoot and a cake that had “legal” written on it, insinuating that she had just turned 18.
Tatiana’s mother also previously defended the relationship, writing on Instagram: “Why y’all hoes so pressed about my daughter? Y’all weird AF.”
She added: “Y’all know absolutely nothing about me and damn sure don’t know shit about my daughter. And I damn sure ain’t clearing shit up!!”

Lil Yachty usually does a great job at feeding his fans new music. It seems like every other week he's got new snippets to tease or loosies dropping on DSPS whenever he feels like it. Just several hours ago, the Georgia multi-hyphenate hopped on over to his SoundCloud page, tHE CONCRETE LeaK sYstem, to share some long-lost recordings.
Per HipHopNMore, there's 11 in total and the origins of them range from 2022-2025. Some of you may remember that Lil Yachty updated this account almost a year ago with 14 tracks. Back then he unleased some unheard collaborations with his 2016 XXL Freshman classmate 21 Savage and singer Vory.
In the time since then, Yachty did drop off a pair of freestyles as well. But this is the latest major collection to be added to tHE CONCRETE LeaK sYstem.
Overall, the cuts here feel reminiscent of his earlier material in that they are more trap focused. However, the main some extra charm with most of the beats featuring some slightly left-field quirks.
They definitely don't relate at all to what Lil Boat has been experimenting with solo catalog wise. His 2023 album Let's Start Here. was a psychedelic rock exploration. Then, there's his 2024 collaboration joint with James Blake, Bad Cameo.
On that, Lil Yachty stepped into the London artist's soundscape in some ways by bringing his warbly singing voice to neo-soul, alternative R&B, and ambient pop.
But unfortunately for the 27-year-old, him sharing of all of this music with his fans has been interrupted to some degree. That's because Yachty is still going back and forth with former Concrete Boys group mate, KARRAHBOOO.
Her initial split from Boat's collective was a shocking development when it originally happened about a year ago. However, as the two rappers repeatedly went at each other's throats, we began to learn more. Yachty was claiming that KARRAHBOOO was incredibly disrespectful to those involved with the group.
Moreover, it led to him claiming that he was writing all of her verses and tracks. KARRAHBOOO has since retaliated, of course, but she really went after him recently. Just two weeks ago, she alleged that he mistreats women poorly overall. "U have a daughter and u treating women like this is mindblowing like I know u never see her but still that doesn’t make sense how evil this man is to women (not just me)," she said in part.
