Christian "Toby" Obumseli recorded popular social media influencer Courtney Clenney shouting racial epithets and physically attacking him multiple times before she stabbed him to death in April.

Clenney, 26, has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder with a deadly weapon. Clenney said she acted in self-defense during an argument with Obumseli, 27, inside their luxury apartment in Miami.

The Miami Herald obtained the recordings after making a public records request to the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office.

In one recording, Obumseli is heard apologizing while Clenney yells racial slurs and demands that he charge her phone. Clenney calls him the n-word multiple times and says, "shut up and let me slap you, dumb [expletive]."

It's unclear if Clenney knew she was being recorded.

"I found the audio to be shocking," Obumseli's family attorney Larry Handfield told the Miami Herald. "I know it's going to be very, very painful when [his relatives] hear this...I see it as a consistent pattern with someone unhinged and out of control."

Clenney is accused of stabbing Obumseli just below the neck with a kitchen knife, hitting a main artery. She told police that she threw the knife more than 10 feet after he choked her. But a medical examiner testified that forensic evidence did not support her claim, saying Clenney had no visible injuries and Obumseli's wound was likely made by the "downward strike" of a knife.

During the 911 call, Obumseli repeatedly said he could not feel his arm. The warrant also said the amount of blood at the crime scene showed "evidence the victim was bleeding for an extended period before the police arrived."

The Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office allege Clenney was the aggressor and had a history of attacking Obumseli. A video shows her attacking Obumseli in an elevator several weeks before the April 3 stabbing.

Clenney, who uses the name Courtney Tailor online, has more than 2 million followers on Instagram and a large audience on the subscription-only site OnlyFans, where she reportedly posted nude images of herself.

Earlier this month, bodycam footage showed Clenney asking authorities for a restraining order two days before the fatal stabbing. The body camera footage released by Miami police showed her pleading with police to issue a restraining order, claiming Obumseli was "stalking her" and "sleeping outside the elevator of her apartment.
