A man who was stabbed by his OnlyFans model girlfriend had secretly recorded her tirade of verbal abuse in the months before his death – including the fact that she called him the N-word.
Courtney Clenney, 26, is charged with second-degree murder after Christian Obumseli, 27, was fatally stabbed in the chest in a Miami apartment while the two were arguing on April 3.
But footage presented as evidence at the murder trial now shows Clenney used racial slurs on her boyfriend – berating and berating him publicly and privately. In one, she calls Obumseli the N-word multiple times, tells him to “Man up b***h” and “Shut up and let me hit you, idiot,” according to the Miami Herald.
Obumseli can be heard in the clips apologizing as they argue about saying hello to one of his girlfriends while he was out on a bike ride.
In another clip, Clenney barks at Obumseli to find her phone — before the audio ends with her yell, “I want you to get away from me.”

Larry Handfield, Obumseli family lawyer, said the footage was “shocking” and showed “a consistent pattern with someone getting out of control and out of control”. She is the aggressor and perpetrator in this whole relationship.
In another piece of evidence from the phone logs, Clenney sternly asks her boyfriend if he’s “ready to step on the gas,” to which he replies, “Courtney, that’s a friggin’ threat. I asked you something… and I apologized, but you hit me.’
She is then heard to say, “Shut the f**k up b***h.”
A third clip revealed an uncontrolled argument they had on the road – after the OnlyFans model jumped out of their car. She involves a passer-by and yells over Obumseli: ‘F**k you! No, you make yourself look good in front of people!’
When they get back in the car, slaps can be heard. The audio ends with Obumseli saying, “Stop hitting me!”
Bodycam footage taken the day before she stabbed her boyfriend shows Clenney begging and sobbing for the police to help her get a restraining order on her boyfriend.
Her lawyers are trying to argue that she stabbed him in self-defense and that she was visibly shocked and frightened a day earlier when she accused him of stalking her.
This comes as footage of the couple in an elevator showed Clenney punching her partner just two months before he was stabbed.
Clenney was seen viciously slapping Obumseli and pulling his hair while desperately trying to deflect her punches. But her lawyers say the harrowing clip lacks context and her actions were in fact reactionary.
In the clips, which were filmed on April 2, the couple were seen walking into the lobby of the luxury Miami high-rise where Clenney lived with Obumseli, where a bouncer informed them there had been a domestic riot.
Clenney, who saw her in a mug shot from her arrest, is charged with second-degree murder for fatally stabbing Obumseli, 27, in the chest while the two were fighting on April 3
A tearful and visibly upset Clenney talks on her phone before asking the bouncer to let her into the apartment after locking herself out.
She then explains that she broke up with Obumseli a week earlier and her mother came to stay with her to help her. But she also claimed that he slept in her “elevator room” the entire time.
“I broke up with him… he was sleeping on a couch in my elevator room, that’s stalking. He wouldn’t leave me alone,” she told officers.
The scene in the bodycam material is chaotic, several people are talking at once. At one point, Clenney, who is shaking, tries to get the officers to listen to her.
Last month, the 911 call made by the OnlyFans model after she stabbed her boyfriend revealed how she sobbed, “Baby, I’m so sorry” after stabbing him.
Clenney called the police after stabbing Christian Obumseli on April 3, 2022.
It was the sad end to the young couple’s tumultuous relationship – just a day earlier she had called the police, claiming he was trying to assault her.
The audio revealed her begging for paramedics to rush to the Miami home.
“Please, my friend is dying of a stab wound,” she pleaded on the phone.
She didn’t tell the operator that she had stabbed him, but sobbed to him how sorry she was.
Obumseli can be heard screaming in the background: “I can’t feel my arm.”
Clenney is now in custody for second-degree murder.
She insists it was self-defense and that Obumseli regularly beat her.
Her lawyer says the audio shows how distraught she was after stabbing him and how determined she was to keep him alive.
“This isn’t someone who stabbed someone and didn’t care.
“Obviously, you can tell from her emotions that she’s asking someone to come quickly and help,” her attorney told the Miami Herald.
Clenney said she threw the knife at her boyfriend from more than 10 feet away, but Fernandez said the autopsy revealed a deep wound that could only be done at close range
Courtney, who was recently tried, is being held on second-degree murder charges
Clenney called the police the day before the fatal stabbing, asked for their help and told them Obumseli was “stalking” them. She can be seen above in bodycam footage from this answer

Obumseli’s family hears otherwise. They say it shows that she intended to kill him but regretted it when the knife was stabbed in him.
“It shows her state of mind. She says she’s sorry because she realizes what she did. She doesn’t say, “I defended myself,” said his family’s attorney, Larry Hadfield.
Police were called to the apartment complex on April 1.
Clenney told them that Obumseli was “stalking” them.
Bodycam footage of their interaction shows the buildup of security forces corroborating their story and describing how Obumseli “approached them.”
Obumseli was taken to the hospital but died from his injuries.
His family believes that Courtney was always the aggressor in their romance and that she became a “different person” when she drank.
Clenney was arrested in Hawaii earlier this year. She is currently in custody pending the start of her trial.
Clenney is shown on April 3 after allegedly stabbing Obumseli on the balcony of her home. She is covered in blood when her dog looks at her
Clenney and Obumseli had been together for less than two years and their relationship was tumultuous.
She was arrested in Las Vegas for domestic violence, and police were called to her Austin, Texas home multiple times.
The couple moved to Miami earlier this year, and staff and residents of the One Paraiso building where they live have reported multiple domestic disturbance complaints about the couple and even moved to vacate.
Obumseli’s brother was upset in April that she was not immediately charged over his death, saying it was “because of her ‘privilege’ as a ‘wealthy white woman’ rather than her claim to self-defense.
But in a statement posted to Instagram, the victim’s brother Jeffrey Obumseli – and his family – wrote that they don’t believe Clenney and are demanding that she be charged with killing the brother, whom he called Toby.
The model was captured on video covered in blood on her high-rise balcony shortly after the murder.
“The bottom line is inextricably clear: Courtney is treated differently because of her privilege as a wealthy white woman,” Jeffrey Obumseli wrote on Instagram.
“Within 24 hours of Toby’s death, the detective on the case prematurely concluded that it was not a violent crime.”
Throughout the investigation, Clenney posted adult content on her OnlyFans page as she allegedly killed her boyfriend.
A day after she killed Obumseli, X-rated content had appeared on her website, but it’s unclear if the release was planned before the incident.
Nearly a day after her arrest, Clenney’s page was taken down.
