Tatiana Chanell has reportedly brought assault and theft of a cell phone charges against rapper Real Boston Richey. The controversy, which has been the center of much chatter on hip-hop websites, has brought up discussion on the status of the couple, Richey’s history of controversy, and the influence of social media for the spread of unsubstantiated information. Chanell is reported by some reports to be two months pregnant, although she has denied the reports. No official legal documents confirm the assault claims or pregnancy reports as of March 31, 2025.
Tatiana Chanell is a social media personality and model, and she is also known for dating Real Boston Richey. She has gained a following online, but the majority of the public attention is because she is dating the rapper.
Real Boston Richey, whose real name is Jalen Foster, is a rapper signed on Future’s Freebandz record label. He gained fame with his music but also made headlines for controversy. He was previously removed from Future’s One Big Party tour on the basis of allegations that he had cooperated with the police investigation of a murder. Coupled with the earlier allegations from his former girlfriend Aire Jay, this has added to the ongoing speculation about his personal life.
It was in December of 2024 that Richey’s then-girlfriend Aire Jay accused Richey of posting naked videos of himself up. He had sent the videos, she said, as a boasting gesture, and later paid her money as a gesture of apology. Aire Jay further went on to label Richey as a “child molester” and a “creep who exposes girls.” These claims created a stir on social media, but no legal action was reported then.
The scandal around Richey also involved his relationship with Tatiana Chanell. There were reports of Chanell’s age conflicting with each other. Richey said she is 23, but other reports suggest that she had turned 18 years old in January 2024 with a cake that was inscribed “Legal.” The difference has added fuel to the controversy and criticism of their relationship.
The latest controversy revolves around a reported assault of Tatiana Chanell by Richey and the theft of her phone. Hip-hop portal RaphouseTV broke the news, with Chanell having filed a complaint against Richey, the portal reports. No reports confirm the allegations. There were also unconfirmed reports that Chanell is pregnant. Some said she was two months pregnant, with others quoting Chanell as saying she is not pregnant.
While RaphouseTV’s report on the controversy has contributed to public debate, it has also placed social issues front and center. A recent article on CBS Baltimore brought the rising danger of maternal mortality for Black women in the U.S. into the public eye and connected this controversy with the larger picture of women’s health and safety.
To date, as of March 31, 2025, no legal documents authenticated by any source confirm Tatiana Chanell pressing any charges against Real Boston Richey. No official source has also confirmed any pregnancy reports.
The age gap has also sparked controversy. Richey asserts that she is 23 years old, but initial reports and social media suggestions indicate that she is 18 years old as of early 2024. That has cast doubt on their relationship and further fueled the questioning of Richey.
The controversy has elicited strong responses from critics, celebrities, and the public. Tatiana Chanell’s followers think the allegations should be taken seriously, emphasizing the importance of celebrity accountability. Others, however, question the authenticity of the allegations, considering the fact that the claims are still unsubstantiated.
To Real Boston Richey, these allegations would further discredit his career. Already removed from Future’s One Big Party tour due to past scandals, additional allegations would make it difficult for him to obtain the industry’s support. Tatiana Chanell, however, has gained additional social media attention, although the attention has been polarized.
