Lil Tjay has entered a volatile public dispute between rapper Real Boston Richey and his former partner, Tatiana Chanell, using his latest musical release to amplify the conflict. In a new song titled “Go Tati,” Lil Tjay Mentions Real Boston Richey on New Diss Track “Go Tati,” transforming a personal domestic crisis into a lyrical attack.
The track serves as the sole addition to the Big One Edition, a deluxe version of Tjay’s fourth studio album, They Just Ain’t You. While the album’s primary release focused on Tjay’s artistic growth and personal narratives, the deluxe addition shifts gears toward a targeted critique of Richey, coinciding with a series of harrowing allegations made against the rapper on social media.
The catalyst for the song is a string of posts from Tatiana Chanell on X, where she accused Real Boston Richey of severe abuse. Chanell’s claims include the threat to release 65 images documenting the abuse, noting that the evidence spanned “all different days.” The situation escalated when Chanell alleged she was kidnapped by Richey and held naked in a van surrounded by men during an eight-hour drive from Orlando, Florida, to Alabama.
To support these claims, Chanell shared images and video footage showing visible damage to her eye, bringing the dispute into the public eye and providing the thematic foundation for Lil Tjay’s new track.
Lyrical Warfare and Financial Jabs
On “Go Tati,” Lil Tjay does not shy away from the specific details of the conflict. He positions himself as a more desirable alternative for Chanell, contrasting his image with that of Richey. Tjay suggests that Chanell is seeking a “goon” rather than someone he characterizes as a “rat,” referencing the public airing of Richey’s business on Instagram.
The lyrics specifically state: “She said she don’t want no rat no more, shawty want a goon / On the ‘Gram tellin’ your business like he tellin’ in that room,” and “What you say? Go Tati, do your big one / Know you want a Richie, he keep playin’, you gon’ get one.”
Beyond the relationship drama, Tjay takes direct aim at Richey’s professional standing and financial credibility. He questions Richey’s place in the rap industry, rapping, “None these goofies gettin’ saved, who allowed these boys to rap?” He further mocks Richey’s wealth, claiming that Richey’s habit of posting 20-dollar bills indicates he possesses “baby racks,” a term implying a lack of significant money.

A Pattern of Public Confrontation
This release follows a period of high activity for Lil Tjay, who has recently been navigating his own set of public challenges and industry interactions. While “Go Tati” marks a sharp aggressive turn, Tjay has simultaneously attempted to quell other rumors. He recently stated he has “no beef” with rapper Offset following a casino shooting incident, attempting to separate his current lyrical aggression toward Richey from other industry relationships.
Real Boston Richey has not remained silent during this wave of accusations. In addition to the claims made by Chanell, Richey has had to address other unconventional allegations, including a claim regarding the use of a strap-on during their relationship. The rapper’s responses have largely played out across social media platforms, contributing to a fragmented and chaotic public record of the dispute.
The impact of “Go Tati” extends beyond the music. it serves as a commentary on the “call-out culture” prevalent in the hip-hop community, where personal trauma and legal allegations are often repurposed as content for streaming platforms to drive engagement and chart performance.
As of now, there have been no official reports of criminal charges filed in relation to the kidnapping and abuse allegations mentioned by Tatiana Chanell. The dispute remains largely a social media and lyrical conflict, though the severity of the claims—particularly the alleged eight-hour forced transport between Florida and Alabama—could draw legal scrutiny if formal reports are filed with law enforcement.
The next confirmed checkpoint in this story will be any official legal filings or formal statements from the representatives of Real Boston Richey regarding the specific kidnapping allegations. Until then, the conflict is expected to continue playing out through music releases and social media updates.
