Internet users criticized rapper Real Boston Richey after he reacted to a photo of his girlfriend, Tatiana Chanell, with Lil Tjay. On Friday, September 20, 2024, Richey took to X to repost the photo of the pair together with the comment:
"That's not TATI💯💯"
Speculation about Tatiana allegedly cheating on the 27-year-old rapper began earlier this month after a photo went viral. Netizens believed it was her sitting on Tjay's lap, but neither she nor Tjay have publicly addressed the claims.
Boston Richey's response created a stir online, with many netizens joking at his expense.
A user commented:
"You messy for replying to it."
One fan joked about desiring someone as clueless as Richey, while another mentioned using denial to avoid reality.
"Oh yea i need my man stupid like this!!!" one fan joked.
"my response when ion wanna accept sh*t that’s in my face," another added.
"denial is the first stage of grief," casmir anyee wrote.
Fans speculated that Real Boston Richey himself may have been unfaithful in the past, leading to his disbelief over receiving the same treatment.
"He so in disbelief she already said he cheat then she doing him worse," @Msnevagaf_ commented.
"n*ggas hate when you do them how they do you," another wrote.
"I’d be sick if I was his other b*tch lmaooo he just told us who his favorite is," a fan remarked.
Netizens accused Boston Richey of pedophilia earlier this year after Tatiana shared a birthday post suggesting she turned eighteen
Jalen Taheen Foster, a rapper from Tallahassee, Florida, goes by the moniker Real Boston Richey. He is known for his Michigan-style hip-hop and signed on to Future's record label Freebandz. The rapper's debut mixtape Public Housing, peaked at No. 60 on Billboard 200.
Foster's dating life has frequently been under public scrutiny. Earlier this year, netizens accused the rapper of pedophilia after a post by Tatiana Chanell suggested she turned 18 in January. The model welcomed her birthday with a lingerie shoot and a cake that read "legal."
This prompted internet users to question Boston Richey, who is 27, as he reportedly began dating her well before she turned 18. As per a post by Hip hop DX in February 2024, the Florida rapper went live while on a boat trip with Tatiana to clarify her age, stating, "This girl 23." However, he offered no proof to back his claims.
As per the publication, Chanell's mother was quick to come to the defense of the couple's relationship, taking to her Instagram to write:
"Why y’all h*es so pressed about my daughter? Y’all weird AF. Y’all know absolutely nothing about me and damn sure don’t know sh*t about my daughter. And I damn sure ain’t clearing sh*t up."
In February 2023, Boston Richey, during his verse on XXL Freshman Cypher, bragged about an alleged incestuous relationship with his cousin. The Bullseye 2 hitmaker rapped:
"Always been a freaky jit, trying to f*ck my cousin under the covers."
Real Boston Richey took to his X to repost several comments sympathetic to his situation.
