Real Boston Richey Says He Quit Rap: “I Rather Trap” Amid Ongoing Allegations

In a short, blunt flurry of posts this week, Real Boston Richey told the internet he was checked out of rap. The Florida MC — who has a platinum solo record he reminded followers of in the same thread — announced on X that he was walking away from music and would rather be “in the streets.”

Richey’s original post on Tuesday (June 23) left little room for nuance.

“I quit rap. I rather trap,”

“B**ches ain’t sh*t.”

The following day he circled back with another message that read like a reminder to anyone keeping score: “I already won shit I accomplished n**ga will never achieve…” and, “I got a platinum record solo dolo don’t forget it.”

Those proclamations didn’t come out of nowhere. They arrived in the wake of public allegations from Richey’s ex-girlfriend, Tatiana Chanell, who in May accused the rapper of abuse, suggested he was bisexual and claimed he had relationships with minors. Chanell has also said that his single “B**ch You Weird” is about her. Richey has pushed back, insisting the claims are fabrications born from a bad breakup.

“I ain’t never been a ni**a that try to run to the ’net and speak on my behalf,”

“I always take it to the chin. But, it’s damaging when a person you love take advantage and bully you at all costs. I’m a ni**a that done sat back and sacrificed everything for this girl.”

He expanded on those accusations in further posts, alleging he’d been targeted by legal maneuvering and intimidation: “I done went through everything with this girl. From the lawsuit, to the blackmailing me, putting me in jail. You name it, I done went through this sh*t.” He also denied a claim from Chanell that she used a strap-on on him.

Whether his decision to quit rap is an emotional reaction, a legal strategy, or simply a late-night hot take is unclear. The brevity and volatility of the posts mirror how careers and controversies move fast on social media — a place where Richey has both built momentum and found himself embroiled in personal drama.

For context, Richey has been visible on stages and in press for a few years; he performed during GloRilla: The Glorious Tour at Coca-Cola Roxy on March 12, 2025, according to WireImage captions attached to recent photos. In his June posts he repeatedly referenced his platinum achievement, a credential he used to punctuate his claims of having already “won” in the culture.

Below are screenshots and posts Richey shared on X following his announcement.

At the moment, Richey’s posts stand as both a social-media exit cue and another chapter in a public dispute that has already played out across timelines and headlines. The only certainty is that the conversation around him, online and off, is far from over.
