Coi Leray’s Best Collaborations

Ever wondered what Coi Leray’s best collaborations are? Massachusetts-born femcee Coi Leray‘s come-up story is one of a kind. The American rapper’s rise to fame tale blasted off with determination to be heard by the masses. By pushing out music on SoundCloud to gain traction and grow a fanbase. With an upswing response from the masses, Coi went on to release an official single “Huddy”. A lead song to debut mixtape Everythingcoz around 2018. With standout singles such as I Get It, Big Mac, and Wanna Be A Freak. The rapper then signed under 1801 Records and Republic Records.

The boost from Republic allowed Coi Leray to flex her creativity and then emerged EC2 mixtape (2019), and Now Or Never mixtape (2020). Right at this time curiosity arose about the female rapper, and her growing fanbase dug up her personal life. To find out rapper and entrepreneur, Benzino, is Coi Leray’a father. Her blossoming career at only 25 years granted Coi opportunities to work with Nicki Minaj, Lil Durk, and Fivio Foreign.

Today we take a voyage into Coi Leray’s best collaborations in her career. In no particular order, here are the best picks.

Better Days Collaboration

Coi Leray tag-teams with “Trap Queen” hitmaker Fetty Wap for “Better Days”. The song was released in 2020 for the Now or Never EP. Produced by Wymtime Beatz & Nash B, Jacquees’ producer. The song navigates a tale about moving on from a toxic romantic partner. Coi starts off telling her side of the story about a “boy who don’t even love himself.” Claiming she’s better off being with a partner of that character.

She switches off gears towards the end of the verse rather than focusing on getting that bag up. Here she throws in connotations that link to “moving on to better things” anecdotal. Words like “Hop in the foreign, take off on a nigga, ain’t hittin’ the brakes.” And further adds, “Can’t let a nigga f*ck up the bank.” And it goes on. Fetty Wap’s approach on this beat embezzles Coi’s flow. Just before his verse kicks in, both rappers harmoniously sing the hook, which essentially ties the song together. The simplicity of the hook steals the show.

In an interview, Coi Leray explains how the collaboration came about. “Me and Fetty linked through management”. “Me and Fetty both from Jersey,” she says,” and like we ain’t never link up when it comes to the music.”

No More Parties (Remix)

Later in 2021, Coi Leray received her big break with No More Parties. The rapper wrote the mumble-rap song alongside her production team Maaly Raw and Okaykhan. Maaly Raw previously produced Lil Uzi Vert’s top songs from the Luv Is Rage 2 album in 2017. The beat selection style loots piano elements, fluttering repetitive claps, and a fine-drawn bass line. Coi easily blends with the production with smooth flows and alternates between rap and singing. Lil Durk featuring in the remix was at the time when he and Lil Baby were dropping back-to-back hits. Essentially, the remix boosted Coi Leray’s popularity. The song went on to appear on her debut Trendsetter album in 2022. No More Parties with Durk is one of her best collaborations yet.

Mountains

“We Go Up” rapper Fivio Foreign and Young M.A. join the Trendsetter album with song “Mountains”. A song that reviews the battles, and fights to get to the top. Coi sings the hook, ” I had to fight for this shit, they don’t get it.” She glides on further, “Yeah, I had to step in and play some positions.” Coi Leray’s vocals on Mountains are different in delivery, and inclines toward a euphoric feel.

Surprisingly, Fivio offers a subtle staunch delivery with his verse, making it a solid feature. He raps, “I come back and I take care her ribs.” And adds “I pour up a drink and she make me a dish.” Really leveled out. Young M.A. complements the two rappers by mirroring their flows. What I appreciate about this trio, is sticking to the theme. The rhyme schemes on each ending bar may be simple on the surface but actually clever.

Overthinking

Coi Leray flaunts her diverse skills by tapping an R&B princess for a Rap/R&B single. “Overthinking” produced by Jaasu & BNYX®. Jaasu is known for producing Rich The Kid and Famous Dex. On this beat, both producers capably blended the artists and merged their opposite styles. “Come Together” singer, H.E.R opted to rap on her verse, while Coi switches to singing. It is a dazzling contradiction. We don’t see too many Hip-Hop artists experimenting with sounds as Coi does on “Overthinking”. Only the Baby Tate’s on Ain’t No Love, Nicki Minaj on Love In The Way featuring Yung Bleu. Those are the best crossover Rap/R&B collaborations to ever be released.

Blick Blick

When Coi Leray teased a snippet of “Blick Blick,” many fans and listeners suggested she adds a female rapper. Names such as Nicki Minaj, Cardi, and Megan Thee Stallion were mentioned amongst many others. But when the rapper’s father, Benzino hinted at Nicki Minaj being the ultimate pick. “She got the song with Nicki Minaj that’s gonna be coming out that’s gonna be crazy,” said one of Clubhouse’s groups. Fans went wild on social media and demanded confirmation from Coi and Nicki.

The song was later released on March 2022 as the last promo single for the Trendsetter album. The hook was co-written by Randall Hammers, Asia Smith, and a beat production by Dr. Luke, Rocco Did It Again!, Ryan Ogren, and Mike Crook. Blick Blick peaked at number 37 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart and remained on the charts for a long time. The colorful set-up in the video, Nicki & Coi’s matching pink bobs declared the visuals as one of the best in 2022. Alongside Nicki’s potent verse which was unofficially the best female rap verse of 2022.

Jason Lee Claims Coi Leray Was Upset About His Interview With Blueface & Chrisean Rock

It’s Jason Lee with the tea, and he’s spilling about Coi Leray’s alleged reaction to one of his recent interviews. The founder of Hollywood Unlocked has embarked on a new venture with his series, The Jason Lee Show. The first few episodes have caused several viral looks, as he’s sat down with Cardi B, Remy Ma, Blac Chyna, La La Anthony, Lunell, Laverne Cox, and more. However, his chat with Blueface and Chrisean caught Leray’s attention, according to the blogger.

In an interview with Breakbeat Media, Lee recalled being in bed listening to music when Leray’s latest hit “Players” came on. “I said, ‘This is cute.’ I’m not on TikTok, but I f*ck with Coi Leray. I think she’s cute, I think she’s—Coi, you know I love you. I just unfollowed her though; I’ll tell you why.” He also shared that once he told this story, there was a good chance Leray wouldn’t speak with him again.

Jason Lee’s Chat With Blueface & Chrisean Caught Coi’s Attention

“Let me preface this, and this is the part where people struggle with liking me. I love her, I love her movement, I love all her TikTok energy, I love that she stands for body positivity for young women with small bodies. So, I have ‘The Jason Lee Show.’ Cardi B’s the first guest. I’m in my room in New York [and ‘Players’ is on], and I post it. Genuinely, it’s free promo, I don’t ever post sh*t for free. I gotta get paid for everything. I just did it ’cause I liked it. Tagged it, [Coi] reposted it. She followed me, I followed her.”

However, things took a turn when he began teasing his interview with Blueface and Chrisean Rock. “She called me like, ‘I wanna do the show, but that’s not a good look. You big, you influential, you that n*gga. We want to celebrate you. You just had a big interview with Cardi B, and then you interview Blueface and Chrisean?’ I said, Coi, I’m in the business of interviewing people. So, like—and Blueface and Chrisean are gonna do numbers ’cause they’re hot right now.

Coi Leray & Blueface’s Dating Past

Lee may have his ear to the streets, but he missed that brief time in late 2020 when Blue and Leray were spotted around Los Angeles together. In December of that year, TMZ even shared photos of them at a Hollywood eatery, trying to keep away from the cameras as they spent time together. Elsewhere, the pair of rappers even shared a video where it looked as if they were getting close, but things didn’t materialize.

According to Lee, Chrisean said she wanted to beat up Coi Leray. He says Coi “tainted the relationship that you coulda built ’cause you were mad at Blueface and Chrisean for coming on the show.” Check out the clip of Jason Lee above.

Rolling Loud Los Angeles Made Good Use Of Its New Venue In 2023

Just when I was beginning to worry that I had seen everything Rolling Loud has to offer, the 2023 festival in Los Angeles showed me something new. I don’t know if Lil Yachty’s Sunday night set will be a one-off curio or the blueprint for the evolution of the punk-rap festival’s format, but it delivered a level of production that more of the fest’s mainstays should at least think about adopting – especially those who want to grow beyond the limitations of its audience for that real four-quadrant appeal.

Meanwhile, Rolling Loud continues to be one of the best “starter” festivals around. Even compared to bigger-name, more local events like Coachella and Lollapalooza, Rolling Loud has probably the best handle on both its format and its audience, leading to a level of enthusiasm unmatched by any other festival in the increasingly crowded market. And while sticking so closely to its dedicated format led this weekend to long stretches of samey-sounding material and lots of lineup recycling in general, even this can be useful for the kids who are just getting their feet wet in the festival scene.

That demographic, actually, constitutes a lot of the Rolling Loud audience. This is purely anecdotal, but it didn’t surprise me to note that those attendees in my vicinity who seemed to have the best grasp on the timing of the festival’s sets and the chillest overall demeanor were those wearing Rolling Loud merch from prior festivals – but never more than a year old. It’s always fun to see the teen boys bounding from stage to stage with all the energy of a year-old golden retriever puppy when a leisurely saunter will do the job most of the time.

Likewise, for a show in early March, with a cloudy forecast and lows promised in the 40s, there are always so many young women trying to pull off the skimpy outfits they’ve seen on social media, only to end up draped in layers of merch tent hoodies to fend off the chills and light drizzles that skittered down periodically throughout the weekend. Rookie mistakes, surely – but the kind that I’m sure they’ll look back on fondly in the future, laughing at their youthful naivete as they bundle up for their more experienced festivals.

This year’s event brought a new location: the Hollywood Park area outside of SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. This was also the biggest improvement over the last California show in San Bernardino. First off, it’s just such a scenic venue, with a gorgeously-lit lake sprawling out from beneath the majestic dome. I’d have loved it if this view had been more incorporated into the orientation of the stage near it. Meanwhile, the wraparound setup reminded me of the first few Rolling Loud festivals in LA at Banc Of California Stadium but with a few changes.

First, the good: There was no dust or grass or rugged terrain to navigate, with the streets lining the stadium offering the food concessions, water stations, and rest areas all in an easily traversable thoroughfare with few choke points. Getting around the fest was a breeze. And including three entrances not only increased the sense of convenience but also the feeling that the organizers had prioritized safety, preventing bottlenecking in any one part of the festival grounds as new arrivals got themselves oriented.

Unfortunately, evoking the Banc Of California setup also leads to this year’s fest losing points. In 2018 and 2019, the stage positioning allowed VIP fans to easily get from the two main stages without leaving the VIP area, making it a true VIP experience. This year, the separation between the two main stages left the VIP sections cut off from each other. Meanwhile, all the VIP activations – a barbershop, tattoo parlor, and hair salon – were all situated at Levi’s Stage, leaving the amenities for the GoPuff Stage feeling a little scarce.

Meanwhile, the more underground Culture Kings stage was angled kind of awkwardly, competing with the sound from Levi’s and lacking a spotlight. While its positioning close to the North entrance seemed planned for more exposure for the more underground acts, it felt more closed off once I realized that it was more or less a straight shot between the Levi’s and GoPuff Stages. Once fans were inside, their only incentive to go anywhere near the third stage was if they really wanted to see Kamaiyah, RJ, or OT Genasis (although the latter certainly made the trip worth it with his sneakily hit-laden setlist and roguish, recklessly charming stage presence).

As far as the programming goes, I can’t offer many complaints – but I don’t know how many compliments I can give either. It didn’t feel like this year’s lineup was sufficiently different from any prior year; I’ve seen DaBaby, Future, Kodak Black, Lil Wayne, Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Yachty, Rich The Kid, Ski Mask The Slump God, and Trippie Redd at previous Rolling Loud iterations, and while they were all mostly pretty good, it seems like most of the variety at the fest is in its midline performers. I did enjoy Tyga bringing out YG to perform “Go Loko” and announce their upcoming joint album. Compton.

Destroy Lonely was a new name to me but cut from the same cloth as goth-rock rappers like Playboi Carti, Trippie, and Uzi, he just didn’t seem to stand out – although he attracted a massive, truly exuberant crowd that speaks to the popularity of that sound at the moment. And, not to put too fine a point on it, but there are so many problematic names involved — including among the headliners — that it’d take another paragraph to point out the litany of abuse charges down the lineup.

At various points throughout the fest, it also felt a lot like watching performers doing karaoke to their own music. In some cases, like that of Coi Leray and Kodak, it seemed as though they were more intent on dancing while the song played than in actually rapping their songs (although that was still more entertaining than one local duo, whose stage presence was so lacking I won’t mention them here, so I won’t hurt any feelings). Still, I’ve been to a lot of “real hip-hop” shows, and to be honest, at least they gave something visual and appeared to be having fun. I’ve seen way too many rappers rapping at the floor while rooted to one spot to ever complain about Coi’s twerking or Saweetie’s choreo (Nicki Minaj’s pop-out during Wayne’s set was fun, but plagued by sound issues).

I was pleasantly surprised by Ice Spice. Say what you want about her monotone – which I think is really the primary complaint about her music, although her most vocal critics probably don’t have the vocabulary to pinpoint this – but her breath control is superb. She doesn’t write super complex bars, but she leaves so little space between them that I truly didn’t think she’d be able to rap them live. Not only did she do that, but she also nailed them, while actually utilizing the full stage and engaging with fans. Ice Spice is a star.

The only other knock on Rolling Loud – and this can actually apply to a lot of fests I’ve covered lately – is this weird commitment to cutting the one corner that absolutely no event should be cutting in the wake of Astroworld Festival 2021: Security. Not only was security generally scarce, but whenever it was in evidence, I didn’t have much faith in the guards to do much. On Friday night, scores of kids hopped the barricade into VIP, and while that certainly devalued the VIP experience, far more unnerving was how quickly that section filled up, creating another one of those potential crowd-crush situations. On Sunday, both during Uzi’s set and ahead of Future’s, I more than once overheard a PA announcement demanding fans take two steps back. To their credit, it seemed they were able to receive some degree of compliance.

I’d love to see more festivals work to get on top of these situations earlier, but as I wrote earlier, Rolling Loud seems to get its audience far more than some others. The organizers know that their audience is mostly excited kids overwhelmed by the prospect of their first concert, so they know exactly how to talk to them to get them to watch out for each other, pick each other up, and take stock of their surroundings – something kids have never historically been great at. But for those times when their inexperience gets the best of them, it’d be nicer to know that there are a few more responsible adults around to get things under control.

Still, it’s worth the live experience, even as the festival has begun to stream the main stages for 90 percent of the fest (Travis Scott’s comeback set was reportedly not streamed) (the stream did come in clutch when counterprogramming forced me to make a choice between two acts). The food, the views, the brand activations, the sense of community and camaraderie… all are essential parts of the experience (although for next year, I’ma need y’all to do some dribble drills before you jump on the basketball court, I’m embarrassed for you). And for anyone’s first experience, it’s very difficult to do better than Rolling Loud.

Coi Leray Helps Big Boss Vette Explain How “Pretty Girls Walk” In New Remix Single

St. Louis MC Big Boss Vette just tapped Coi Leray for a remix of her single “Pretty Girls Walk.” Moreover, it’s a creative and head-bobbing fusion of more modern percussion styles with a classic bassline that harkens back to the old days. Also, the single dropped early after various teases and social media promotions, so fans were ready for the heat. For those out there looking for a new hype track to add to their playlist, this song has a lot of braggadocious energy to it.

Furthermore, a lot of the track’s groove and appeal comes down to its incredibly catchy bass melody. In terms of the flows and the single’s general swing, it might remind listeners of classic tracks like Eazy-E’s “Boyz-N-The-Hood.” Certainly, Leray opens her verse with a similar cadence, swagger, and laidback confidence. Beyond its rhythm section, with sharp drums and additional synthetic bass, there aren’t many more melodic elements in this cut. However, they’re not necessary, as the flows and bounce are enough to keep listeners’ attention.

Big Boss Vette & Coi Leray’s “Pretty Girls Walk (Remix)”

Also, it’s a pretty sweet callback to more classic hip-hop sounds, which Coi in particular has no shortage of experience honoring. She recently sampled the classic hip-hop cut “The Message” from Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five for her track “Players.” In fact, she even got a lot of recognition from Flash himself, which is a generational crossover to shut down any haters. However, Vette matches that flow with even more aggression and energy, so her principal role in the song doesn’t go unnoticed.

Regardless, what did you think of Big Boss Vette and Coi Leray’s newest track, a remix of the former’s “Pretty Girls Walk”? However you feel, let us know in the comments and check out some standout bars from it down below. Also, if you haven’t heard it yet, spin the song on YouTube above or your preferred streaming service. As always, log back into HNHH for the latest great music of the week, even outside of new music Fridays.

Quotable Lyrics
Coolin’ in the Six, your b***h ride in a Civic (Ride in a Civic)
Better watch your n***a, ’cause he might end up missing (Might end up missing)
You can talk about me, but it’s gon’ make me richer (Whatevs)
Tell ’em bring the bottles, I’ma need some more liquor (Uh)

Coi Leray And Big Boss Vette Twerk To “Pretty Girls Walk (Remix)”

The girls simply can’t get enough of Coi Leray’s viral music. Fans of the “Players” artist have streamed her single all the way onto the Billboard Hot 100 chart, where it currently sits at No. 17. Her male supporters, on the other hand, can’t get enough of Coi’s slim physique. The rapper is breaking the internet and necks yet again in her latest upload as she twerks alongside rapper Big Boss Vette. She certainly knows how to get the people going, as the clip has already amassed 1.7 million views as of writing.

Having returned home from Milan Fashion Week, Coi Leray posted the raunchy dance session in promotion of their joint single. The leggy 25-year-old is featured on the remix to Big Boss Vette’s “Pretty Girls Walk,” officially released today. In the visual, the two women lip-sync to the track for what appears to be their upcoming music video. Coi recounts the day as a great one with Vette in her caption. “You[‘re] raw aff and I can’t wait until they here what else you have coming,” she continues.

Coi Leray and Big Boss Vette Shoot Music Video For New Single

Vette also shared photos from the shoot today as she announced the song’s release on Instagram. Coi Leray hinted at their collab last week with a teaser snippet, twerking in her Triller video as well. Today’s drop comes as a surprise to many, as Coi originally announced the remix would premiere this Friday (March 3). Regardless, the single is sure to go viral like the original, which has already been used in over 477,000 TikTok videos.

Earlier this week, Coi Leray announced yet another major move, this time in the fashion realm. The self-proclaimed “Big Trend Setter” now has a collaboration with athletic streetwear brand SNIPES, which they both unveiled with an advertisement featuring the star. “This one’s for the trendsetters,” says SNIPES. “The ones who stay true to themselves and keep it [100 emoji]. @coileray got it on lock. And now you can too [smirking emoji].” This comes as no surprise seeing Coi’s been spotted in all things trendy, including MSCHF’s Big Red Boots that’ve taken social media by storm. The collection, inspired by tech wear, includes matching nylon sets, windbreakers, and more.

Coi Leray Gives Stunning Performance Of “Players” On Jimmy Kimmel

The end of 2022 and the start of 2023 have been very kind to Coi Leray. It all started when she released her Nov. 2022 single “Players.” The song samples the classic hit “The Message” released by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five in 1982. The track would eventually land on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and recently peaked at No. 17. This is Leray’s first top 20 hit in her career, indicative of how far she’s come in the past few months.

With the “Players” success came some interesting revelations about the song. Soon after its blow-up, Coi dropped a club mix of the song to continue attracting attention to it. She later confessed that the song only took her one take in the studio to record. This impressive feat eventually caught the eye of the song’s originator. Grandmaster Flash recently gave his props to Coi for the song and its success. “I love his positive energy,” Coi said after the encounter. As one of the biggest moments of her career, Leray decided that “Players” needed to be performed in front of live audiences.

Coi Leray On Kimmel

On Feb. 28, Coi Leray visited the Jimmy Kimmel Live! show on ABC. Donning an all-white fit and accompanied by two backup dancers dressed accordingly, Coi delivered a stellar performance of “Players.” Although there was a back-track present, Coi Leray did most of the singing live. With very animated dance moves and her patented confident demeanor, Leray once again proved why she has attracted so many loyal fans. Her “girls is players too” hook certainly resonated with not only female fans, but listeners of all backgrounds.

“Players” came out in the same year that Coi released her debut album Trendsetter. The LP included hits like “BIG PURR,” “Blick Blick,” “Thief In The Night, “TWINNEM” and “No More Parties.” Although the first week numbers underwhelmed, the success of “Players” proved that Coi never stopped believing in herself and her artistry. With a nice second wind for her career, it will be interesting to see where Coi goes from here, and when we can expect more music from the 25-year-old.

Coi Leray’s Relationship With Her Dad Benzino

Who is Coi Leray’s Dad? At this point, many people know that it’s culture figure Benzino. “Nepo Baby” is one of the latest Internet terms. It comes from the word “nepotism” which basically means giving family members opportunities over others. So a “Nepo Baby” is someone whose fame can be credited to a family member. Calling Coi Leray a “Nepo Baby” is overall inaccurate. Benzino is not exactly a household name for this generation. But, connections, especially in the music industry, still matter.

Many know Benzino as a co-owner of The Source magazine. This magazine specialized in covering the rap world. There’s no telling how many names Benzino had in his Rolodex because of this. The Source has been active since 1998. They have seen many of the changes that have happened in the rap world. Coi Leray’s music is quite different from what they were covering in 2006. She was still able to secure a feature from one of the biggest figures in the rap world.

Coi Leray’s Relationship with her Dad is Complex

Coi Leray and Benzino do not have a perfect relationship. We can only go off of the things both of them have publicly stated. They have both said negative things about each other. Their relationship dynamics connect to the music but also goes beyond it. We have learned about their dynamic through social media and interviews. Each of them has regularly spoken about the other. Some would say Coi Leray speaking on him is what brought this generation’s attention to him. “That’s why I never mentioned his name coming into this industry cause he can’t get over his past and don’t even realize how much he damaging when he does this stuff.” tweeted Coi.

Around when Coi Leray dropped her debut album Trendsetter, Benzino had something to say. But, it wasn’t positive. “You worried about being called broke on the day of my debut album. You ain’t even text me congratulations, you so bitter and evil. Ima pray for you.” tweeted Coi. This was in reference to the fact Benzino apparently lost The Source when Coi was around nine years old. She stated her family was “broke” once this happened. Benzino had a different perspective.

Benzino Almost Ruined One of Coi Leray’s Biggest Songs to Date

Whenever an up-and-coming artist gets a feature from a seasoned one, it’s a big deal. It can connect generations. It can bring new ears to both parties involved. Coi Leray secured a Nicki Minaj feature for their song “Blick Blick”. Benzino almost ruined this. Benzino spoke about Nicki Minaj’s feature before Nicki herself and Coi did. “She got this song with Nicki Minaj that’s gonna be coming out that’s gonna be crazy.” he said in a room on the app Clubhouse.

Initially, Nicki denied she had a verse. Then, later, it was revealed she wanted to pull the verse from the song. “I just felt bad that she was robbed of telling the world in her own way @ her own time. But that’s water under the bridge now. Good vibes all 2022” said Nicki during a Q&A on Twitter. This is perhaps the biggest example of Benzino impacting Coi Leray’s music. He shared information that she did not want to be revealed yet. Fortunately, he did genuinely apologize for his mistake.

Coi Leray Has Sometimes Defended Benzino

Coi Leray and her Dad Benzino have multiple layers to their relationship. While it is not perfect they are still family. Coi knows his behavior not only affects her but others too. This is mainly other people in the music industry. Coi knows he can be difficult and wants people to understand that. In an interview with Vladtv from August 2020 she said “He’s crazy but he’s smart…he’s a business man…everybody’s not perfect.”

Being aware of how someone’s behavior affects others is a part of being in a relationship with them. Sometimes, a person’s behavior in the public eye is people’s only frame of reference for it. We don’t know what happens behind closed doors. “My dad is a great man,” “And I love him regardless of our differences, he’s still my father and I gotta respect him, right?” she said in an interview with The Breakfast Club. The public has mostly seen negative interactions between them but, of course, these are not the only interactions they have.

Coi Leray and Benzino Appear to Have Mended their Relationship

Coi Leray and Benzino are working on their relationship. Since 2022, we have not heard anything about it. This could mean things are being handled away from social media. For the time being, her Dad’s name is not in headlines with hers. Ironically, they were able to work on their relationship because of the situation with the Nicki Minaj feature.

Coi shared that Nicki’s advice helped her strengthen her perspective. “…You have to respect your father…‘Regardless of what you’re going through bro, that’s your dad.” Nicki told Coi. It appears she fully understood this and took it to heart. Growth is important and can truly be beneficial for multiple reasons. Moving forward, people hope Coi and Benzino continue to work on and have a healthy relationship.

Coi Leray Announces New Clothing Collaboration With SNIPES

Coi Leray always refers to herself as a trendsetter. In fact, her 2022 debut studio album was titled Trendsetter. The LP featured Nicki Minaj, Fivio Foreign, Lil Durk, Polo G, Pooh Shiesty, and more. Since then, the Jersey native has continued ascending and setting trends. Her Nov. 2022 single “Players” took off immediately after its release. Going viral on TikTok and climbing the charts, “Players” was just another example of Coi’s star power.

Along with musically, Coi’s fashion sense also proves how much a trendsetter she can be. In February alone, she joined in on the hype train on the clunky red MSCHF boots. Additionally, she popped out at Milan Fashion Week donning several unique fits. But, most importantly, she just announced an exciting new clothing deal.

Coi Leray And SNIPES’ Collection

On Saturday (Feb. 25), Coi Leray and German brand SNIPES announced their Q1 clothing collection. Including lightweight cargo pants, lax t-shirts and zip-up jackets, the fits contain many pockets and are mostly in neutral colorways. Along with the release, SNIPES’ VP of Marketing Paula Barbosa released a statement. “Coi Leray embodies everything that SNIPES stands for – creativity, authenticity, and individuality,” she said. “We are excited to collaborate with her to bring a fresh perspective to our Q1 collection, and we can’t wait for our customers to experience the unique energy that Coi brings to the brand.”

Along with the announcement, Coi posted a teaser video for the collection on Instagram. “Who says you can’t work hard and still enjoy yourself?” she says in the clip. “Can’t tell me nothin’. I’m a trendsetter, and I’mma do what I want. If I can’t have success on my time, then what it is really worth? It’s me, Coi, at the center. Every day is another chance to go get it. We all got the same 24 hours. What you choose to do with yours is on you. No matter what, I’mma always have fun. That’s really all that matters for real. No matter what happens in life, no matter the situation, I’mma always stay true to myself.” Coi’s identity as a trendsetter keeps evolving and progressing, and SNIPES has surely caught on.
