According to legal documents obtained by The Neighborhood Talk, Chanell has accused the rapper—real name Jalen Foster—of assaulting her after an incident at a Houston nightclub last week.
Chanell, who is reportedly two months pregnant with Richey’s child, alleges that he choked her repeatedly over the course of two harrowing hours.
Chanell claims she was forced into a vehicle and had her phone confiscated to prevent her from calling for help. Richey allegedly proceeded to place his hands around her neck approximately 20 times, with each instance lasting between six and ten seconds. During the assaults, she says she lost consciousness and stopped breathing momentarily.
Disturbingly, two other individuals were present, and it took them two hours to intervene. During the strangulation, Richey reportedly made a chilling threat: “If you call the police, I might as well kill you.”
The incident escalated when Richey snatched Chanell’s phone while they were at Houston nightclub Sekai, which led her to press charges for both assault and phone theft. She is currently pursuing legal action, and Richey is facing felony family violence charges. The confrontation, which occurred on March 30th, 2025, was initially captured on video, showing Richey about to push or strike Chanell before others intervened.
Richey has not made any public comment regarding the allegations. If convicted, he could face serious prison time – the charge of Assault Impeding Breathing is a felony in many jurisdictions.
