Coi Leray Speaks Further On Latto Line About Her Body: “I’m About Positivity”

by

Coi Leray and Latto’s beef was short-lived, but is still something the Masachusetts native has in mind. Moreover, she recently spoke to Ebro for Apple Music 1’s Rap Life Radio on her new album and also about the 777 artist’s line about her on “Put It On Da Floor.” “Smoking on that gas, blunt big as Coi Leray,” she rapped, which Coi took issue with online. Then, the Atlanta MC showed her love during her Coachella set, which the “Bops” rhymer reciprocated. However, she went into more detail about why she reacted the way she did in the first place.

“It’s not a sensitive conversation,” Coi Leray told Ebro. “I feel like it wasn’t more about the body, it was more of mentioning my name. I’m about positivity. For real. And I wasn’t sure where it was coming from. And not only that, I feel like the problem with our community today is we be so quick to try to change things but we don’t do nothing to actually change anything.

“So if we’re going to say we’re going to stop talking about bodies, then don’t mention anything about my body,” she continued. “Just period. Don’t compare me to nothing, don’t think about nothing. We’re not smoking on anything, it’s disrespect. And where I come from I just don’t like that.” Not only that, but the 26-year-old reflected on rap beef as a whole and how it pushes narratives of contention among artists, especially female ones.

“I don’t know, it’s starting to get old,” she remarked. “The rap beefs are for the guys. You know, I don’t even think they should do it. Us artists, we kind of control the narrative. So if we just spend more time pushing that narrative we won’t give these headlines and these blogs no reason to go ahead and push this negative narrative. That’s something we got to come together on.” For more news and the latest updates on Coi Leray and Latto, stay posted on HNHH.

Coi Leray Pumps Up The Jock Jams With Soccer Star Trinity Rodman In Her Sporty ‘Get Loud’ Video

by

Coi Leray’s extended rollout for her second album, Coi, has included a string of singles including “Players,” “Bops,” “My Body,” and “Run It Up.” Now that the album is out, she’s keeping the party going with the video for “Get Loud.” The song is a bit of a poppy jock jam, and fittingly, the video takes place in a locker room, where Coi and her soccer team — which includes USWNT forward Trinity Rodman — turn up.

It’s fitting that Coi teamed up with another women’s athlete after collaborating with the WNBA on a new campaign featuring her song “Players.” It seems that the star really is all about sisterhood and solidarity, as she previously suggested with her idea to remake Lil Kim’s classic “Not Tonight” remix, “Ladies Night.” She reiterated the sentiment in an interview with Ebro Darden for Apple Music after Ebro asked her about her short-lived flap with Latto over “Put It On Da Floor.”

“My advice to the girls out there is moving forward, find a better way,” she said. “Rap beef is for the guys — and I don’t even think they should do it.”

Check out the “Get Loud” video above.

Coi is out now via Uptown and Republic. Get it here.

Coi Leray Attends Paris Fashion Week In Style In Latest Photo Dump

by

Coi Leray made it clear that she was not messing around when she arrived at Paris Fashion Week. In a simple white crop-top, iced-out neck, baggy jeans, pink bag, and strap back hat, she sat front row and celebrated as such in her latest Instagram photo dump. Sure, it’s not the flashiest fit, but isn’t it all about how you rock it rather than what you’re rocking? Regardless, she shouted out Pharrell in her post, attending the Louis Vuitton Menswear Spring/Summer 2024 show. Also, she posed with various celebrities and plugged her new album COI, which drops tomorrow (June 23).

“FRONT ROW AT LV IS CRAAAAAAAAAAZYYYYY,” she wrote as her post’s caption. “@louisvuitton @pharrell ALBUM DROPPING THIS FRIDAY. Styled by @louisvuitton head to toe.” With recent singles, music videos, social media teases, and more, people are quite excited to hear her latest full-length offering. Wrap that up with a song on Metro Boomin’s Across The Spider-Verse soundtrack and you have a very prolific and dominant rollout. Still, Coi Leray hasn’t stopped looking towards the future, and recently commented on the chances of one particular feature.

Coi Leray Stuns At Paris Fashion Week

Furthermore, she recently sat down with Math Hoffa on his My Expert Opinion podcast. During their conversation, they spoke about the 26-year-old’s father Benzino and how she will always stand by and support him. Sure, they’ve had their differences in the past, but ones that that they’ve always been able to reconcile. In fact, Coi Leray said that said loyalty runs so deep that she would turn down an Eminem collab if he didn’t want it to happen, given their historic beef.

“I would sit down with my father, first of all, and bring it up to him,” she remarked “I wouldn’t even ask. I’d be like, ‘Yo, listen. This is what happened. I’m not even expecting an answer. I just need to tell you right away.’ Me and my father could never be speaking for f***ing years. If that was to happen, I’d be like, ‘Hold on, let me just tell you this. Let me bring it to your attention.’ hopefully, he’ll be like, ‘Yo, you know what? Do it.’” For more news and the latest updates on Coi Leray, stay posted on HNHH.

Coi Leray Thinks Her Dad Benzino Would Stop Speaking To Her For ‘F*cking Years’ If She Ever Worked With Eminem

by

Coi Leray might not completely get along with her dad Benzino, but there are some lines she’s wary of crossing — especially when it comes to his former (?) rival, Eminem. Although Coi had nothing but positive things to say about the Detroit rapper after Benzino’s Twitter rant tearing him down, she recently revealed that a collaboration with him — however unlikely — would be a bridge too far. During an appearance on Math Hoffa’s My Expert Opinion, the host asked whether Coi would collaborate with Em and she said she would definitely talk to Benzino first.

“I would sit down with my father, first of all, and bring it up to him,” she said. “I wouldn’t even ask. I’d be like, ‘Yo, listen. This is what happened. I’m not even expecting an answer. I just need to tell you right away.’ Me and my father could never be speaking for f*****g years. If that was to happen, I’d be like, ‘Hold on, let me just tell you this. Let me bring it to your attention.’ hopefully, he’ll be like, ‘Yo, you know what? Do it.’”

That latter outcome would probably also be unlikely, since Benzino has had it out for Eminem since 2003, when the then co-owner of The Source launched a campaign of diss records against Em. However, much of hip-hop sided with Eminem over his rival, and Benzino dropped the feud — at least publicly — until last May, when he went on a tirade against Eminem being inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, accusing the Hall of racism for skipping over other pioneering rap acts such as Eric B and Rakim, Lauryn Hill, and Nas.

Coi Leray Challenges Men To ‘Run It Up’ On Her Steamy New Single

by

Just a week out from her sophomore album, Coi, Coi Leray is keeping the anticipation high. Tonight (June 16), she has shared “Run It Up,” a spicy new anthem from the album.

On “Run It Up,” Leray is in full control as she lays down the laws of the bedroom. She is making it known what she wants and setting her expectations high, challenging prospective men to run it up.

“Run it up, run it up, run it up, run it up, run it up, run it up, ooooh / I’m an angel in the day and a demon in the night / Don’t go thinkin’ about it ’cause you might lose your mind / Drop the top in the winter ’cause my heart cold like ice,” she rap-sings on the song’s chorus.

It’s been quite a breakout year for Leray, who’s had a big hit with her song “Players.” Back in April, she gave fans a taste of her upcoming album, with her singles “Bops” and “My Body.”

In a recent interview with People, she shared the desire to become a household name.

“I know that I have the ability to make amazing songs, be one of the biggest artists,” she said. “And on top of that, be one of the biggest influential artists — whether it’s in mental health, body positivity, fashion.”

Coi is out 6/23 via Republic. Find more information here.

Kid Cudi has a lot on his plate right now. The rapper shared his new single called “Porsche Topless” to kick off a new era. An album, a clothing line, and a movie are apparently on the way as well. Today (June 15), he announced the lineup for the second annual Moon Man’s Landing festival.

Taking place on August 19 at Cleveland, Ohio’s Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, the festival will have Lil Uzi Vert, Coi Leray, $uicideboy$, Bashfortheworld, Siena Bella, and Chelsea Pastel. Find ticket information here.

Last year’s festival had Playboi Carti, Haim, Toliver, Dominic Fike, Pusha T, Jaden, and 070 Shake.

In September, Cudi said that he was stepping back from music to focus on other things. “I think I’m going to take a step back from the Kid Cudi stuff and focus a lot more on developing my own things,” he said. “Writing — whether it’s movies or TV shows — producing things, putting stuff together. Just really getting my production company [Mad Solar] up to a place where, in the next three or four years, we’re a household name. I really have goals. We’re off to a great start with the documentary, X, Pearl, and now, Entergalactic. I mean, we have four bangers so far, so I just want to see what else we can do and keep going.”

Coi Leray Calls for All Female Rappers to Unite to Land First #1 Rap Song of 2023

by
Coi Leray

Hip-Hop is in a drought, and that’s crazy considering we are in the middle of the monumental 50th-year celebration. With no specific end in sight, Coi Leray is looking to unify all the women in Rap for a chart-topping single. Tagging her message “#justanidea,” it certainly isn’t a bad one.

“Ain’t been a #1 rap song at all this year,” Leray wrote. “Calling all the female rappers to front. [Hear] me out. ladies night. Hip hop. Unity.”

She added, “Let’s make history with a number 1 … together .. with love.”

Also, Coi Leray is prepping her new album. Titled Coi, the album is catching eyes for a posthumous James Brown feature.

The single is titled “Man’s World,” likely a flip of Brown’s classic “It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World,” and sits at No. 2 on the album. Additional features are David Guetta, Saucy Santana, Giggs, Lola Brooke, and Skillibeng.

Coi Leray announced the new album will be released on June 23. The album aims to masterfully weave in her flow, vocals, and sounds, ranging from rap to reggae and pop to dance.

You can see the album announcement below.

Coi Leray’s latest single, “Bops,” was made available via Uptown Records and Republic Records.

In the aptly named song, Coi proudly demonstrates her accomplishment as a top-charting musician who can consistently turn out big hits. In addition to her most recent collaborations with David Guetta on “Baby Don’t Hurt Me” and Raye’s “Flip A Switch” earlier this month, “Bops” follows an outstanding list of songs.

You can hear the new release below.
