"We got a tour on the way, probably in the middle of October. We got merch dropping in the next two weeks, and then we got a deluxe on the way. And we're dropping another tape in December. So that's another thing people can look out for."

He revealed in the same interview that he has a habit of smoking, but he avoids the same while visiting his studio. He added:

"We need a couple of drinks and a lot of snacks. We're going to snack up all night, so we'll get a lot of drinks. We're going to get a lot of Red Bulls (laughs). I got hooked on the Red Bulls, man."

Before his arrest, Richey shared an Instagram post five days ago which stated that he has two events, including a private birthday party dinner on February 4, 2024. This was to be followed by a private yacht party. It remains unknown if the events will continue considering that he has been arrested.
