Overwhelmed With Emotion Benzino Reflected On How His Beef With Eminem Has Impacted His Daughter Coi Leray

Beef is a permanent dish on hip-hop’s menu; anyone can be served a heaping helping. While time can sometimes aid in relationship mending, that’s not always the cause for rappers. Benzino and Eminem’s longstanding feud is a prime example of this. In the past few weeks alone, they’ve each dropped disses toward the other. So, during Benzino’s recent appearance on Drink Champs, the host couldn’t help but ask about it.

Throughout the episode uploaded on February 17, Benzino took several jabs at Eminem. At one point, he even implied that Eminem’s rise to fame in rap was due to him being white. However, near the end of the sit down (the 2-hour 34-minute mark), Benzino, overwhelmed with emotion and alcohol, reflected on how his issue with Eminem has impacted his daughter Uproxx cover star Coi Leray.

“I don’t have nothing against Eminem,” he said. “He can rap, but I care about us more. I don’t want to talk about it no more,” he said. “My daughter came to industry figuring ‘I gotta be cool with Eminem because everybody is against my dad. I don’t hate Eminem. I don’t know him to hate him. I don’t hate white people tired of this sh*t, man. It’s just too much. I don’t want to be the bad guy.”

Leray previously spoke about how Benzino’s past mix-ups could have derailed her career, including her guest verse from Nicki Minaj on “Blick Blick.”

Coi Leray Strikes Fans With Cupid’s Arrow In New Savage X Fenty Lingerie Collab

There are a lot of musical artists that have multiple lanes to make money. Whether it be because of their outside passions or physical appearance they set themselves up for even more success outside of one avenue. Just look at Rihanna for example. She was able to market her interest in fashion and beauty to create Savage X Fenty. It is now one of the biggest companies in the industry. Another artist who could similarly follow her path is Coi Leray. While she does catch more flak than RiRi, she can certainly replicate some of that success.

Over the past couple of years or so, Coi Leray has not been afraid to flex her body and physical appearance on the internet. She has gone nude for some pictures and done some crazy flexible poses as well. The confidence she has in her physique that she has worked for has given her tons of modeling opportunities. Some examples include SNIPES and Louis Vuitton.

A post shared by Coi (@coileray)

Now, she is teaming up with Savage X Fenty for a Valentine’s Day-themed lingerie drop. The Massachusetts rapper and singer is seen above wearing a more revealing matching red lace set. Cupid’s love arrow has seemingly struck fans in her comment section. So many write, “She gettin ready for our date 2nite,” or, “She’s so fine no 🧢” Hopefully, Savage X Fenty and Rihanna see this because Coi could help rake in a ton of money.

What are your thoughts on Coi Leray’s photo shoot for Rihann’s Savage X Fenty brand? Could you see her becoming a full-time model after her rap career is over? Is Savage X Fenty the most impactful brand made by a music artist ever? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.

Coi Leray Stuns With Pre-Grammys Gala Look & Celebrates Nominations

The 2024 Grammy Awards are right around the corner, and Coi Leray is celebrating her two nominations. Moreover, she posted a video on social media of her excitedly greeting (and inhaling) balloons that spell out “GRAMMY NOM,” presumably in her hotel room. If you didn’t already know, the Massachusetts rapper received nods in the Best Pop Dance Recording and Best Rap Performance categories. The latter is for her Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five-tributing jam, “Players,” whereas the former is for the song “Baby Don’t Hurt Me,” which she assisted David Guetta and Anne-Marie on. Not only that, but these are Benzino’s daughter’s first-ever nominations from the Recording Academy.

Furthermore, we can’t really call whether she’ll win the Best Pop Dance Recording category; “Rush” by Troye Sivan is a big favorite. Nevertheless, that’s not our niche, so who are we to say? What we can guess is that Coi Leray actually has a slight chance to win Best Rap Performance, given just how unique each nomination in that field is. Competitors include Baby Keem and Kendrick Lamar’s “The Hillbillies” and Black Thought’s “Love Letter,” and you can find our full predictions for the Recording Academy’s hip-hop and R&B categories for 2024 here.

Coi Leray Celebrates Two Grammy Noms

In addition, the 26-year-old also posted a video of her look at the Pre-Grammy Gala: a stunning, sparkling, tight-fitting, light cream dress. Ahead of the ceremony this afternoon (Sunday, February 4; 3:30PM EST for all awards and 8PM EST for the televised event), there are actually a lot of celebrities and nominees like Coi Leray taking the time to celebrate with no pressure. For example, Jay-Z recently hosted a pre-Grammys party in Hollywood with big names like Kim Kardashian and Quavo. It’s a nice way to decompress before the big occasion.

Meanwhile, the “Bops” hitmaker often drives fans wild with her style, so it’s no surprise that she popped off for this weekend. Do you think that she’ll take home one or both of these awards or does she have better Grammy years ahead of her? However you may feel, let us know in the comments section down below.

Coi Leray Goes Bare For Social Media Thirst Trap After Eminem Diss

Coi Leray’s never been a shy social media user, and she realized just how much people love her more sultry content. Of course, it also results in plenty of backlash and criticism, but the balance has definitely turned more accepting in recent months. Moreover, the Massachusetts rapper recently took to social media platforms such as Twitter to share a steamy and revealing new picture. It’s a mirror selfie that shows her with some sort of black blanket, but since the room has mirrors on different sides, you can see her from different angles. Most notably, you can see the “Players” hitmaker’s scantily-clad backside thanks to this, which got people pretty rowdy.

However, this is particularly notable thanks to recent context around her in the headlines. Furthermore, this thirst trap arrives just a few days after Eminem released a diss track against Coi Leray and her father Benzino, “Doomsday Pt. 2.” In it, he basically continues his decades-long attacks against The Source‘s former co-owner, and also implies that this means he’ll never do a feature with his daughter. Plenty of fans on both sides had a lot to say about this, but it’s nothing compared to the wild nature of previous disses.

Coi Leray’s New Thirst Trap

Still, Coi Leray responded to all of this via social media, and just like this new thirst trap, they suggest that she’s letting it slide. “Rap beef is so washed and tired,” she expressed. “Exhausting. Embarrassing. Just f***ing over all corny as f**k. [person dumping trash emoji]. I got no issues with no one. I’m so locked in on my grown and sexy vibes… if anybody don’t like me, that’s something they gotta take on with themselves [red heart emoji]. Man who the hell said I wanted a Eminem feature ?? Imagine Eminem on Wanna Come thru?”

Meanwhile, the 26-year-old is obviously no stranger to rap beef, which makes this point a tad moot. Regardless, clearly she wants to move on from the whole thing, at least in this instance. Perhaps this is finally what will end the Benzino and Eminem saga. Nevertheless, for more news and the latest updates on Coi Leray, stay logged into HNHH.

Fans React To Eminem’s Diss Towards Coi Leray & Benzino

Old habits die hard, and we’re starting to think that Eminem and Benzino will pop a vein if they go too long without speaking on one another. Perhaps that applies more to the latter, since he just has more frequent media appearances, but the former ramped things up with new disses against The Source‘s former boss and his daughter, Coi Leray, on “Doomsday Pt. 2” this week. “Now I got a riddle, one condition, you mustn’t laugh,” Slim Shady begins his attacks. “What is the opposite of Benzino? A giraffe. Go at his neck, how the f**k is that? How can I go at somethin’ he doesn’t have? Arms so short he can’t even touch his hands when they’re up above his head doin’ jumpin’ jacks.

“Sorry, I don’t mean to upset you, Ben’, when I talk about all the debt you in,” Eminem went on. “I hear that you been creepin’ on the low in them cheap hotels that they catch you in. Jesus Christ, dawg, when you said two-10, never guessed you meant at the Red Roof Inn, in a room with one single bed, two men. Well, I guess then I regret to inform you, hate to spoil the day, but this doesn’t bring me no joy to say, guess that Coi Leray feat’s in the toilet, aye?”

Fan Reacts To New Eminem Diss Against Benzino & Coi Leray

While Benzino himself hasn’t responded yet, Coi Leray came through with some sharp Twitter remarks. “Man who the hell said I wanted a Eminem feature?? Imagine Eminem on Wanna Come thru?” she tweeted with crying-laughing emojis and fire emojis. “Rap beef is so washed and tired. Exhausting. Embarrassing. Just f***ing over all corny as f**k. [person dumping trash emoji]. I got no issues with no one. I’m so locked in on my grown and sexy vibes… if anybody don’t like me, that’s something they gotta take on with themselves [red heart emoji].” Check out fans’ reactions to all of this down below.

More Twitter Reactions

Meanwhile, as you can see, it’s funny to think about how different generations are reacting to this based on their knowledge of their storied feud. Still, it probably won’t have the intended impact that Em might think he landed, if only because this is nothing new. But perhaps it’s the start of another run from him where anyone will land in his sights. On that note, stay logged into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Eminem, Benzino & Coi Leray.

Coi Leray Shades Eminem By Calling Rap Beef “Corny”

Some rap beefs are dinosaurs in the industry, and there are few as petty, long-lasting, and innocuous as Eminem versus Benzino. Over the past three decades, the two disrespected each other, called things off, made efforts to build a bridge, and failed to do so sustainably. What’s more is that Marshall Mathers’ latest diss towards The Source magazine’s former co-owner also roped in his daughter, Coi Leray. After folks reacted to Em’s diss track, “Doomsday Pt. 2,” she came through on Twitter on Friday (January 26) with some thoughts on the concept of rap beef as a whole in her career, which she’s ironically never shied away from.

“Rap beef is so washed and tired,” Coi Leray told her social media followers, which prompted much debate. “Exhausting. Embarrassing. Just f***ing over all corny as f**k. [person dumping trash emoji]. I got no issues with no one. I’m so locked in on my grown and sexy vibes… if anybody don’t like me, that’s something they gotta take on with themselves [red heart emoji].” Of course, many brought up that she recently feuded with Latto for a hot second before adopting this new perspective.

Coi Leray’s Response To Eminem

Regardless, here’s what Eminem had to say for Coi Leray and Benzino. “Now I got a riddle, one condition, you mustn’t laugh,” he spits on “Doomsday Pt. 2.” “What is the opposite of Benzino? A giraffe. Go at his neck, how the f**k is that? How can I go at somethin’ he doesn’t have? Arms so short he can’t even touch his hands when they’re up above his head doin’ jumpin’ jacks.

Fredo Bang Isn’t Scared Of Benzino Despite Crushing On His Daughter, Coi Leray

Fredo Bang has a big crush on Coi Leray, and he’s not afraid of showing it even if her father probably isn’t a big fan. Moreover, he recently stopped by VladTV to sit down with DJ Vlad for an interview, on which they discussed a lot of rapid-fire topics. Specifically, they were talking about the Baton Rouge rapper’s obsession with Billie Eilish, and Vlad took the opportunity to ask him about his love for the “Bops” hitmaker, too. “She got a face,” he said of Coi, and he also commented on how Benzino had expressed a distaste for other rappers dating his daughter. “I don’t give a damn what Benzino got going on,” the 27-year-old remarked.

Furthermore, this is what The Source magazine’s former co-owner had to say about MCs like Fredo Bang wanting to get with his daughter Coi Leray during an interview with The Gauds Show. “If my daughter brought home Chief Keef, my life is f***ed,” Benzino remarked. “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.”

Fredo Bang Speaks On His Crushes With VladTV: Watch

The Coi Leray conversation begins around the 5:30-minute mark.

Then, the show’s hosts asked him what he’d think of someone like Kendrick Lamar or J. Cole asking for his blessing. “Maybe J. Cole,” Benzino admitted. “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.” It looks like if Fredo Bang wants to hit on Coi Leray and his other crushes, he’s going to have to up his pen game.

Meanwhile, he and DJ Vlad also discussed his relationships with Rod Wave and NBA YoungBoy, the latter of which’s collaboration with the former has seemingly cut Fredo out of his bond with Wave. It’s disheartening to see, but also sounds like the kind of issue that they could resolve quite easily with a heart-to-heart. Hopefully we get more instances of that in 2024, and perhaps Benzino can revisit the topic. Nevertheless, stay logged into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Benzino, Coi Leray, and Fredo Bang.

Coi Leray Struts In The Snow While Dancing To New Song Preview: Watch

Coi Leray’s got some new music coming out soon, and she’s proving that she doesn’t need to be scantily-clad to show off her dance moves. Moreover, on Saturday (January 20), under heavy snow and a lot of layers, she danced to her upcoming single “Wanna Come Through,” which producer Mike WiLL Made-It hyped up in the Instagram comments section. It’s a pretty fitting cut for the visual, with wintery synths, mid-tempo trap percussion, and soft vocal melodies, so at least we know it’ll fit for the season. After all, the Massachusetts MC’s prolific social media presence and release schedule means she’s always got something to bring for any temperature.

Furthermore, a lot of people are becoming more and more of a fan of Coi Leray’s style and aesthetic, especially from a performance standpoint. She’s been throwing it back for the ‘Gram for a while now, and there certainly aren’t as many haters as there were when she first started doing so. In fact, fans want to see a twerking showdown between the “Bops” hitmaker and Megan Thee Stallion one day. Maybe it’ll happen, maybe not, but it’s unlikely that they’ve shaken their last rump just yet.

Of course, these antics can get some controversy online for their lewd or sexually suggestive nature. Folks may remember when Busta Rhymes had to defend his collaboration with Coi Leray against her own father Benzino after he called Busta out for including her “half-naked” in its music video. “My thing first and foremost is Benzino has my number and he knows how to reach me,” he expressed on Way Up With Angela Yee. “You ain’t gotta address me about nothing on no social media ‘cause you got my phone number. I’ve never had to address him about a problem and there’s been plenty of different issues that we’ve actually went through that led to actual violence that we was able to resolve civil and respectfully. But the point that I’m trying to make is up until probably right now, this is not public information.

“I’m not saying this to promote the issue,” Busta Rhymes concluded. “I’m saying this to promote how the code of ethics was upheld and how we dealt with issues. We resolved it as men face to face. We wasn’t on social media, we didn’t talk on the radio. But if we really gon’ live by the proper code of ethics that we was raised on, then why you incriminating yourself talking about any conflict that you got with anybody on a social media platform or on a record anywhere? Talk to the person. That’s the grown man thing to do.” For more news and the latest updates on Coi Leray, check back in with HNHH.
