If we had to crown a queen of remixes so far this year, it would undoubtedly be Coi Leray. Not only did she give fans several versions of her smash hit single, “Players,” which first landed in January, but we’ve also heard the Boston native lend her vocal talent to a lot of other artists in recent weeks. At the end of March, it was Sabrina Carpenter’s “Nonsense (Remix),” and now, she’s helping out British singer RAYE with an updated edition of “Flip A Switch.”
The song previously arrived on the foreign talent’s debut album, My 21st Century Blues a few months back, and quickly became a fan favourite. On the chorus, RAYE sings, “Flip a switch on a prick, then I / Come alive in the nighttime / In the club, sippin’ Hennessy / And tell him I’m dead if he callin’ me.” The infectious beat was produced by Mike Sabath, Dj Genius, and the 25-year-old singer-songwriter herself.
As expected, Leray chiefly brightens up the remix with her bold energy. Her verse begins, “Bad bitch break hearts, all-black Patek watch / Swervin’ through London, we got stars in the race cars.” She later comes through with bars like “We got pretty bitch energy, that’s why they hate us / Guns up for the real ones, let that shit bust,” and “C-O-I, he said, ‘Coi Leray, you lit / We in VIP, takin’ shots with my bitch.” Besides today’s (April 21), single, we’ve also recently heard her on “Baby Don’t Hurt Me” with David Guetta and Anne-Marie, which is already making waves as we inch closer and closer to summer.

Quotable Lyrics:
Flip a switch on a prick, then I
Come alive in the nighttime
In the club, sippin’ Hennessy
And tell him I’m dead if he callin’ me

After Latto referenced Coi Leray’s body size in her new track “Put it On Da Floor,” Coi responded on social media, calling out Latto’s body-shaming lyrics and even challenging her to a fight. Latto has yet to respond, leaving fans wondering if a confrontation between the two rappers will actually take place. On Friday, April […]

British singer RAYE is only a couple of months removed from the release of her debut album, My 21st Century Blues, but is already dropping new music. Her latest release is a remix of “Flip A Switch” from the album, this time with Coi Leray contributing a verse.
The track is about cutting off a disinterested partner, as in: “Flip a switch on a prick, then I / Come alive in the nighttime.” RAYE is through with this noncommital jerk, so she hits the club to dance her cares away. She’s also willing to sic her gangster girlfriends on him, warning, “Got bitches, if they see you in the street, you’re gettin’ slapped.”
On the remix, Coi jumps in to reinforce the anti-f*ckboy energy, turning up the threats while sticking to the theme of “flipping the switch”: “Diamonds look like Cape Cod / We attach the switch if they come and try to take ours.” Illegal weapons modifications aside, Coi makes the perfect partner on RAYE’s boundary-setting, bad boy-blocking anthem.
Coi Leray set a boundary of her own upon hearing Latto’s new single “Put It On Da Floor.” In the song, Latto boasts that she’s “Smokin’ on that gas, blunt big as Coi Leray.” Coi seemed to take it personally, responding via Twitter, “Latto bye. Here you go taking about my body. Please do not come on here and talk about nobody BODY.”
Of course, considering her emphasis on reiterating the term “body” over and over again, along with the fact that she’s currently promoting an upcoming single titled “Body,” it could just be that she’s using the moment to feed her promotion cycle. After all, beef before a new release is a time-honored tradition.
Listen to the “Flip A Switch.” remix above.
A few hours ago, Latto dropped a fresh single, “Put It On Da Floor.” To open the track’s second verse, she raps, “Smokin’ on that gas, blunt big as Coi Leray.” Leray didn’t care for that.
After the song came out, Leray took to Twitter. She started with, “Let’s fight [grinning face with sweat emoji].” She continued, “Latto bye . [sleeping emoji] here you go taking about my body. Please do not come on here and talk about nobody BODY. Lol like seriously . Out of all things . Lmaooo ya blunt my size ? Lmaooo this sh*t is never ending.” Leray added, “These b*tches wanna be like the n****s so bad. Y’all wanna have rap beef SOOOOOO BADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD [crying laughing emojis] [grinning face with sweat emojis].” She continued, “Anybody that talk about my body wants MY BODY!!!!!!!!!!!! Like real badddddd.”

A couple house after the initial tweets, she added, “If you don’t like me , support me or fwm don’t mention my name. Period. Sh*t don’t make sense. I don’t know none of you b*tches in real life. Stay in y’all lane and leave me outta the bullsh*t. I be minding my business and showing real love offline.”

Latto hasn’t responded yet, but she did note, ““The content I’m about to roll out is a whole fresh new leaf. I genuinely love to see the new wave of female rap, and I’m honored to be a part of it.”
Listen to “Put It On Da Floor” above.
Coi Leray is steadily climbing the charts these days. Overall, she has reinvented her career thanks to working with EDM artists. For instance, David Guetta has been showing major love to Leray, and it has paid off. However, Leray seemingly still has her fair share of haters. In fact, some of this hate is even coming from her peers, at least so it seems. Last night, Latto dropped her new song “Put It On Da Floor.” Within the song, there were some bars about Coi Leray, that were certainly questionable.
“Smoking on that gas blunt big as Coi Leray/ Bitches like to run they mouth, but I’m the type to run a fade,” Latto raps on the new song. Subsequently, Coi caught wind of these bars, and immediately took to Twitter where she went in on the rapper. “Latto bye [sleeping face emoji] here you go taking about my body,” Coi Leray wrote. “Please do not come on here and talk about nobody BODY. Lol like seriously . Out of all things . Lmaooo ya blunt my size ? Lmaooo this shit is never ending. These bitches wanna be like the n-ggas so bad. Y’all wanna have rap beef SOOOOOO BADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD [crying face emojis] … LITTLE MISS PRESSURE.”
Latto bye .

Overall, these were some very strong words from Leray. Many have commented on her figure in the past, which has always rubbed people the wrong way. Moreover, one can just imagine how Coi feels about it. Although, to have another artist do it, certainly felt persona. Leray even followed up her tweets with one more post in which she let her final thoughts on the matter be known. “If you don’t like me, support me or fwm don’t mention my name. Period,” she said. “Shit don’t make sense. I don’t know none of you bitches in real life. Stay in y’all lane and leave me outta the bullshit. I be minding my business and showing real love offline.”
Latto has yet to respond to Coi Leray and her Twitter tirade. Perhaps this is all just a complete misunderstanding. Regardless, Latto learned a valuable lesson about commenting on people and their bodies. Let us know whose side you are on in this situation, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the music world.
Coi Leray is currently having a huge moment in the industry. Although the artist was clowned by fans at first, many are starting to come around. Overall, she has numerous hits that are going viral right now. Moreover, she is working with massive producers and artists like David Guetta. This come-up has been extremely fun to watch, and there is no doubt that Coi has plenty of other great tracks on the horizon. For instance, she has a new song “Body” which is slated to come out on April 28th.
With Coi Leray growing as an artist, she is certainly attracting plenty of brands. This is especially true thanks to all of the modeling she does on her own time. If you were to go to her Instagram account right now, you would see all sorts of seductive posts. Overall, Leray knows how to market herself, and it has certainly led to her recent success. That said, a major fashion house recently enlisted Leray. Below, you will see that we are talking about Fendi and their recent collaboration with Marc Jacobs.
In the Instagram post above, you can see that Coi Leray was stunning in a couple of their pieces. Firstly, we see the artist is some incredible platform shoes. Fendi has been known to create these, and they certainly add height to the singer. Secondly, the first picture features a gorgeous coat with some truly wild aesthetics. In the second photo, Coi Leray strips down into something a bit more minimalist. However, the piece certainly works and we can imagine Leray actually wearing this outside of a photoshoot.
Moving forward, it will be interesting to see what other brand deals and Coi Leray is able to get for herself. After all, her profile continues to rise, and that means a bunch of companies will be calling her line. As for her music, hopefully, a new project of some sort is on the horizon. Let us know what you think of this photoshoot, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the music world.
What’s the problem with Sosa? Benzino recently revealed on an episode of The Gauds Show podcast that he wouldn’t want his daughter Coi Leray to date a rapper like Chief Keef. In fact, the former Source magazine co-owner expressed that he’d raise an eyebrow at most rappers trying to date the “Players” hitmaker. Still, those comments didn’t necessarily take aim at the Chicago MC as a bad rapper- or person, for that matter. Instead, it seems like Benzino is more concerned with getting along with whoever his daughter decides to date, and the odds of that seem to go down the considering another rap figure.
“If my daughter brought home Chief Keef, my life is f***ed,” the 57-year-old expressed. “And Chief Keef is one of my favorite young artists, ‘I’m a Gorilla in a zoo’ and all that, but I don’t want my daughter with Chief Keef.” In addition, he clarified, when asked, that the same goes for rappers like Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole. Actually, scratch that, because he changed his mind on the Dreamville boss.
“Maybe J. Cole,” Benzino stated after thinking about it for a second. “You know what? I wasn’t thinking about J. Cole. I could see me and J. Cole kicking it! Coi in there cooking and me and him sitting watching the game. I could see me and J. Cole doing that … J. Cole a good one.” With that last comment, it’s indicated that he just wants the best for Coi Leray. However, as much as the two show each other love, their relationship turned a bit more rocky over the past few years. For example, in a now-deleted tweet, she blasted him after he criticized her name-dropping him on the track “No More Parties.”
“And this is why I NEVER WANTED ANYBODY TO KNOW!!!” Coi Leray penned to her father Benzino. “I’M EMBARRASSED TO BE YOUR DAUGHTER. I should have been a boy your right cause I would have knocked you the f**k out already. NUMB TO THE PAIN!! I’m hurting right now but it’s all good. Ima be the one to PUT US RIGHT BACK IN THAT MANSION.” Regardless of that spat, log back into HNHH for the latest news on Benzino, Coi Leray, and Chief Keef.
Ariana Grande has become the target of nasty internet trolling in recent days after new photos of her surfaced online. Fans and cyberbullies alike have expressed concern over her thinner-than-usual appearance. Some have pointed to anorexia, while others have claimed she may be suffering from a more serious illness. Grande has been away from the spotlight recently while filming Wicked in London. The backlash became so bad, that the singer was forced to defend herself.
In a TikTok video, the 29-year-old explained that she is currently the healthiest she’s ever been. People have been posting side-by-side pictures, comparing her looks to that of her “Sweetener” era. However, Grande said that during that time period, she was experiencing the “unhealthiest version” of her body. The star admitted that she was on antidepressants during that time and not eating right. Much of this can be attributed to the trauma she has faced in recent years. In 2014, she suffered a great loss when her grandfather passed away. Three years later in 2017, 22 concertgoers were killed by a suicide bomber following her concert at Britain’s Manchester Arena. Then in 2018, her former boyfriend Mac Miller passed away from a drug overdose. Needless to say, she has seen her share of trauma.
While addressing the nasty comments, Grande appeared bare-faced in a hoodie. Unlike some stars, she made no attempt to be glammed up in her speech. Instead, she invited everyone to refrain from commenting on strangers’ bodies. This call to action has been felt across the industry for years. A big push to be nice towards celebrities’ image occurred shortly before the death of Chadwick Boseman, who battled cancer privately. Sadly, not everyone has practiced being kinder, something Grande is now a victim of.
Rapper Coi Leray jumped to Grande’s defense. In a tweet, she wrote “Ariana ain’t told no lies.” Leray has also been the victim of intense scrutiny over her small frame. Cyberbullies have made an extensive amount of memes since she first came onto the scene with her hit record “No More Parties.” After defending Grande, she even invited her to jump on a new track titled, “Body.”
