/Sounds like the English word "chantaj" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AHR" (as in "art")/
To blackmail someone, manipulating them by threatening to reveal damaging information unless they comply. Chantajear goes beyond ordinary pressure; it's calculated leverage, the dark art of weaponizing someone's secrets against them.
“Lo estaban chantajeando con unas fotos comprometedoras.”
“They were blackmailing him with some compromising photos.”
“He tried to blackmail me so I wouldn't tell what I saw.”

Chichipato
A petty, small-time person who acts important or powerful without having anything real to back it up. In Colombia, a "chichipato" thinks they are in the big leagues when they are clearly not. It also describes things of low quality or little value: a chichipato argument, a chichipato deal.
