Boston Richey, the rapper known for his track “One Hit Wonder,”has recently stirred controversy following the release of a disturbing video featuring an altercation with his girlfriend, Tatiana Chanell. This incident, which occurred on March 30, 2025, has generated significant backlash across various social media platforms, as users question the dynamics of their relationship and Richey’s behavior.
In the viral clip, Richey is seen aggressively snatching Chanell’s phone during a heated discussion. While the circumstances leading to this confrontation are not fully understood, it escalated to a point where friends of the rapper had to step in to diffuse the tension.
The footage prompted a swift outcry online, with many viewers expressing disbelief over the apparent age gap in the couple’s relationship. One comment highlighted this concern:
“He’s 28 and she’s 19, too much of an age gap.”
As discussions intensified, a number of social media users took to their platforms to condemn Richey’s actions.
Conversely, a minority defended the rapper, contending that the situation was taken out of context.
Controversy Over Relationship History
This isn’t the first time Boston Richey’s relationship with Chanell has faced scrutiny. Last year, he was accused of inappropriate behavior following a birthday post from Chanell that insinuated she recently turned 18. In January 2024, she celebrated her birthday with a provocative photoshoot, featuring a cake that read “legal,”which many interpreted as her marking the milestone of adulthood.
Critics were quick to label Richey a p*dophile, prompting discussions about the timing of their relationship, as it suggested he started dating Chanell when she was still underage. At the time, Richey was 26 years old.
In February 2024, during a livestream while on a boat trip with Chanell, Richey attempted to clarify her age, erroneously claiming she was 23. His assertions, however, lacked any supporting evidence and have been met with skepticism given that her age is consistently listed as 19.
In response to the controversy, Chanell’s mother publicly defended their relationship, posting on Instagram:
“Why y’all h*es so pressed about my daughter? Y’all weird AF… And I damn sure ain’t clearing sh*t up!”
Further allegations emerged late last year when Richey’s ex-girlfriend, Aire Jay, accused him of inappropriate behavior and exploitation. She alleged he had shared explicit content of her without consent, which reached her after the fact, discovering it was sent with bragging intent. Jay’s claims added to a growing list of serious accusations against Richey.
Additionally, in a performance from 2023 featured on the XXL Freshman Cypher, Richey faced backlash for rapping about an incestuous relationship, which raised further questions about his values and the messages he promotes in his music.
“Always been a freaky jit, trying to f*ck my cousin under the covers.”
Real Boston Richey, whose birth name is Jalen Taheen Foster, is a rising artist from Tallahassee, Florida, affiliated with Future’s Freebandz label. Known for tracks like “Help Me”and “Bullseye,”Richey’s career trajectory is now overshadowed by ongoing controversies.
As of now, neither Boston Richey nor Tatiana Chanell have publicly commented on the recent altercation, but rumors regarding potential legal actions against Richey are circulating, suggesting Chanell could be pressing charges related to the incident.
