Real Boston Richey Hit With Felony Charges For Allegedly Choking Girlfriend 20 Times

Real Boston Richey is making headlines for all the wrong reasons. The Florida rapper is now facing a serious felony family violence charge following disturbing allegations from his pregnant girlfriend, Tatiana Chanell. According to court documents, the assault occurred after a night at Sekai nightclub in Houston, where video had already gone viral showing Richey snatching her phone. But what wasn’t seen in the clip was the alleged two-hour nightmare that followed—Tatiana claims Richey choked her around 20 times, leaving her unconscious and gasping for air.

Worse yet, she was reportedly two months pregnant at the time, and two other people were present during the entire incident. The violence only stopped when a mutual friend stepped in. Richey’s relationship with Tatiana had already been under scrutiny, with widespread claims she was underage when their relationship began. Though Richey denied those rumors, the facts remain murky—especially when she celebrated a “legal” birthday just months ago.

As this case unfolds, the questions mount. Will there be justice for Tatiana? Or will this be another instance of fame shielding abuse?

Cardi B Asserts New Album Will Be Better Than ‘Invasion Of Privacy’

Cardi B is stirring the pot—and the music world is hungry for it. The Grammy-winning rapper recently told fans on X Spaces that her sophomore album might just eclipse her diamond-certified debut Invasion of Privacy. “I know IOP is one of the best albums ever, but I really think my second album is beating it,” she said, before reeling it back with a laugh.

While the official release date remains under wraps, Cardi’s energy screams album mode. She’s been teasing powerhouse features, including both familiar faces and surprise newcomers. “I don’t have a lot of features,” she shared, “but the ones I do have are gonna really surprise y’all.”

Trademark filings from her company hint at potential album names like Defamation of Character, Intrusive Thoughts, or Am I The Drama?—setting the stage for another culture-shifting rollout. With her third child arriving last year and studio sessions ramping up ever since, all signs point to a 2025 drop that’s got fans foaming at the mouth.

Kendrick Lamar & SZA Are Still On Top As “luther” Officially Enjoys Seventh No. 1 Billboard Week

Kendrick Lamar and SZA are unstoppable right now. Their collaboration “luther” just locked in its seventh straight week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it the longest reign for both artists. The song’s rise was a slow burn, but its grip on the charts has been unrelenting. Even with heavy hitters like Drake gaining ground—his track “NOKIA” just surged to No. 3—“luther” holds the crown.

The track’s success is also boosting Kendrick Lamar’s GNX album, which is now double-platinum eligible in the U.S. That’s over 2 million album-equivalent units moved—and counting. Other singles like “hey now,” “peekaboo,” and “squabble up” continue to show legs, but “luther” is clearly the star.

Fans won’t have to wait long to see it live—the Grand National stadium tour with Kendrick, SZA, and opener Mustard kicks off in Minneapolis soon before hitting major cities across North America and Europe. Expect fireworks, energy, and moments that redefine live hip-hop.
