During her second weekend at Coachella earlier this month, Latto took a moment during her set to show some love to Coi Leray. The latter rapper was left upset after assuming that the 777 Radio host had body-shamed her on her “Put It On Da Floor” single. However, her contemporary made it clear that there was no malice intended in her lyrics. Things seemed to be cool between Latto and Leray at that point. Nevertheless, the Boston baddie’s set during Pharrell’s Something in the Water Festival on Saturday (April 29) now has us thinking otherwise.
In between performing some of her most popular hits, Coi took a moment to address the critics she’s been dealing with as of late. “People talk shit every f*cking day,” the 25-year-old yelled to the massive crowd watching her. “Every day it’s a hater on my d*ck, a new bitch got my name in her mouth. Somebody got something weird.” Thankfully, Leray has her team on her side supporting her, along with God. “You can’t do it without them, period,” she reminded her fans.
Coi Leray Addresses Her Critics
“If you a selfish bitch and you wanna be on some, ‘Imma do it myself,’ don’t be one of them,” her message ended before launching into another song. Leray obviously didn’t name-drop Latto while she was ranting. Still, knowing that the Trendsetter was certainly in her feelings after hearing the “Wheelie” hitmaker’s lyrics gives us an idea as to what may have motivated her speech. Elsewhere during her time on stage, she sang “No More Parties,” “FLY SH!T,” and her Nicki Minaj collaboration, “Blick Blick,” just to name a few.
Others who put on a show during day two of Something in the Water include The Kid LAROI, the Jonas Brothers, Lil Yachty, Summer Walker, and Pharrell’s Phriends – and that was just on the event’s Solar Stage.

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.
After dropping a new single, “Bops,” earlier today, Coi Leray has another hit on her hands. On her new single, “My Body,” Leray takes ownership of her sexuality, paying no mind to what any sex shamers have to say.
The song features a rather x-rated interpolation of “It’s My Party” by Lesley Gore, as Leray lays down the law for trifling men.
“It’s my body, I could f*ck who I want to / F*ck who I want to, f*ck who I want to / It’s nothin’ new, you just mad it ain’t you,” she rap-sings on the song’s chorus.
Several of Leray’s singles have become viral hits, including “Twinnem” and “Players.” This has been fuel to Leray’s fire, as she is currently hard at work on her second album. In an interview with Apple Music 1’s Eddie Francis, she detailed the album, and said it’s going to be “one of the biggest projects ever.”
“I’m so excited about this second album because it’s really mostly myself,” said Leray. “I told myself, like I have a couple features, which I’m going to keep it discreet because it’s only literally a little bit, not even a handful, but I’ve been working on this project constantly, constantly. I stay in the studio. As you can see, I’m in my home. It’s my home studio here. I’m constantly in the studio 24/7. I’m amazing when it comes to that mic.”
Coi Leray doesn’t take breaks. After releasing no fewer than four versions of her last single, “Players” — including a Jersey club remix, a remix with Busta Rhymes, and another remix with Tokischa — she’s got a new song out today to remind fans that she’s got “Bops.” Over a percussive beat by Johnny Goldstein channeling the spirit of early Neptunes, Coi rocks a rambunctious flow, telling listeners to “pop that p*ssy like a percolator / Every day my birthday, you should celebrate me.”
She’s not wrong; over the past year, Coi’s released a stream of fan-favorite tracks including the Nicki Minaj-featuring “Blick Blick,” “Involved,” “Fly Sh!t,” and “Wasted.” She’s also contributed to K-pop songs, Sabrina Carpenter’s “Nonsense,” and RAYE’s “Flip A Switch.” Like I said: Coi Leray does not take breaks.
The world is finally starting to catch up to her, as well. Last month, “Players” became Coi’s first Billboard 100 top ten single, peaking at No. 9. Of course, with greater name recognition comes the likelihood of more discussion liable to set her off. When Latto mentioned her in her new single “Put It On Da Floor,” Coi took exception, although she later admitted that she’d overreacted and Latto officially ended the disagreement onstage at Coachella.
Coi Leray just returned with a new single “Bops” that continues her momentum this year. After she’s dropped multiple singles and features, including her verse on RAYE’s “Flip A Switch.” remix, she just released the single “Bops.” What’s more is that there’s yet another Coi single coming this week, with “Body” arriving very soon later in the weekend. All in all, it’s an incredibly prolific and exciting season for the Boston-born MC, and one that is only further solidifying her career. On “Bops,” she rides a relatively old-school instrumental that sounds closer to 2000s hip-hop than contemporary trap. With a hypnotic percussive pattern with high-pitched bells and confident flows, she would fit right in on a Neptunes record if she had a time machine.
Furthermore, the short but sharp synths on the track also give it a more vintage club feel. However, the production still sounds crisp and vivid, which breathes more life into these classic sounds. While there’s not too much instrumental progression or variation, Coi Leray takes care of moving the single forward by herself. Multiple cadences and melodies here could make for a standout hook, and her penchant for melody here is intoxicating. As such, even when she’s repeating a lyric or melodic phrase, it still goes a long way to energize the cut. Given previous singles like “Players,” this should come as no surprise.
Coi Leray Is Still Dropping “Bops”
Lyrically, the 25-year-old focuses on, unsurprisingly, her success, talent, and supposed beef with other artist. Of course, she recently cleared up a brief spat with Latto after the latter mentioned her on a single of her own, “Put It On Da Floor.” Even though they seem to have cleared things up, these tracks and Coi’s social media presence indicate that she’s got a chip on her shoulder. Fortunately for her fans, it seems to result in hungry and confident bangers. While we wait for “Body,” let us know what you thought of “Bops” in the comments below. if you haven’t heard it yet, check your preferred streaming service and peep some notable bars below.

Her rise to fame hasn’t been an easy one, but Coi Leray is enjoying her time at the top. Her breakout hit arrived with Lil Durk after he jumped on the remix to her “No More Parties” single. From there, Coi has climbed the charts and even landed a Nicki Minaj feature, taking over the charts with “Blick Blick.” She released her debut studio album Trendsetter to wide praise, and according to the rapper, she’s carefully crafting her sophomore effort.
Today (April 27), Coi Leray dropped her latest single, “Bops.” The track finds Leray in her beast-mode-bag, and to celebrate its delivery, she caught up with Eddie Francis on Apple Music 1. There, Leray spoke about her new release, tackling body shamers, what fans can expect from her next album, and hoping to inspire others through her work. Here are five takeaways from the noteworthy conversation.
All About “Bops”
Come on. East Coast all day. It just has big energy, period. I got to talk my sh*t, I like to talk my sh*t. I like to say what I got to say. And yeah, I’m just blessed and grateful to be here. I just been recording. I’ve been working on my debut, not my debut album, my second studio album. And I just, I’m always so versatile. One minute I want to sing, next minute I want to turn up. So, in that case, once I heard the beat from Johnny Goldstein, once I heard the beat, I’m like, “Oh my God, this sh*t is going to be insane.” And I automatically gotta hop right on it, and I just got to talk my sh*t. Like, summertime’s coming, and yeah, I feel like I got a lot to say.
Sophomore Record Will Be “One of the Biggest Projects Ever”
I’m so excited about this second album because it’s really mostly myself. I told myself—like, I have a couple features, which I’m going to keep it discreet. Because it’s only literally a little bit, not even a handful, but I’ve been working on this project constantly. I stay in the studio. As you can see, I’m in my home. It’s my home studio here. I’m constantly in the studio 24/7. I’m amazing when it comes to that mic. And at the end of the day, I know this project is going to be one of the biggest projects ever. Nobody’s f*cking with me on it. When it comes to my melodies, my versatility, whether if I’m rapping, singing, doing the baby voice, if I’m dancing or whatever it is, I’m just that girl.
And I say that in the most humble way. I feel like a lot of the headlines kind of overshadow my true talent and what God really brought me here to do. So, I just can’t wait because this album’s going to show that and make people really put them in they face. And also, the second album’s going to make people go back to Trendsetter and make them actually appreciate it for the music instead of the bullsh*t and the negative headlines and Coi Leray always being the topic. This album is all about me. This is another thing. So, I’ll be 26. I feel like I look so young, and people forget that I am actually a young adult developing into a very grown woman, and this is just Coi on a whole nother level. That’s a little hint for you.
The Road To Becoming An Icon
I want to become the next icon, the next “it” girl for my generation. I feel like I am the best of my generation, I’m not even going to lie to you. And I feel like I hold that down. I was the first to break on TikTok, whether if it was “No More Parties,” “BIG PURR,” “Blick Blick!,” “Anxiety.” Just every year upping my next move. Trendsetter, my album, to now having the Top 10 record in the f*cking world. I just feel like it’s go time. It’s time for people to wake up and understand I’m here forever, and there’s a lot that I brought to this industry. I just want to continue to motivate, continue to inspire, continue to set trends, and just be the best I could be for real.
Dealing With Body Shaming
I’m prepared for whatever, honestly. I’ve dealt with the body shaming situation, honestly, my whole entire career. Shout out to all the slim women out there. I feel like I actually paved that way in the music industry for a slim woman to just finally be accepted, honestly, after a very long time. I’m talking since Mya and Left Eye days. And it’s something important you talk about. It’s very something important you talk about. I wake up every day and say, “I love my body.” I don’t give a f**k. When I put my clothes on, I’m not saying, “Yo, I’m going to put this on troll.” I’m putting it on because I love to look good, I love to feel good. And that’s what I personally, genuinely love to wear and like. When they make it about the body, it’s just ongoing. This gets old after a while. It really does.

And then, the next day we end up, we performed at Revolve. That was my first time at Coachella ever. Had one of the most amazing times of my life. I got super lit.
