Rapper Boston Richey is speaking out after months of public allegations by his ex-girlfriend, Tatiana Chanell, offering his most detailed response yet in a video he shared online.
In the clip, the Florida artist, born Jalen Taheen Foster, addressed the controversy surrounding their relationship and denied several of Chanell’s claims.
“I ain’t never been a n—a that run to the net and try to speak my behalf on a situation,” he said, explaining why he had previously stayed quiet.
Richey described the breakup as the result of his own actions, admitting, “We broke up right now because I can’t stop cheating.” He added that he tried to handle issues privately, saying he would “take it to the chin” rather than engage publicly. Boston Richey also fired back against Chanell’s claims that she used to peg him and that he’s secretly gay.
“I ain’t got no preferences against nobody. Gays ain’t homophobic or none of that. But boy, I don’t swing that way,” he said.

He also pushed back on accusations tied to explicit videos, claiming Chanell accessed his phone without permission. “These videos you went in my phone and got,” he said.
Chanell has previously accused the rapper of abuse, coercion, and exploitation during their relationship, and has shared posts online she says support her claims. Richey denied wrongdoing and accused her of attempting to damage his reputation, alleging blackmail and financial demands.
Despite the ongoing dispute, he spoke about his feelings toward Chanell. “I know you ain’t love me, but I love you,” he said.
Neither side has announced legal action as the situation continues to unfold publicly.
