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.”

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.

Coi Leray Showed Off Some Impressive Upper-Body Strength In A Booty-Baring Pole-Dancing Video Set To An Unusual Song

Coi Leray‘s well-known for her twerk videos, but in a new video posted to her social media, she’s “elevated” her game. The vid, which she originally posted on TikTok and shared to Twitter, depicts Leray showing off some truly impressive upper-body strength as she climbs a stripper pole and does a split. The odd part is the song choice — she’s doing all this to Mariah Carey’s holiday classic, “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”

Naturally, the comments are full of fans expressing their approval for Coi’s other skills. Fellow rapper Fredo Bang joked, “If u needed a pole you could’ve just called me bby,” while others just posted barking dogs, memes, and prayers to the heavens. Some are … well, let’s just say, we can’t embed them in this post. There’s even one from a particularly unhinged Nicki Minaj fan (jokingly?) accusing Coi of trying to upset the rollout for Pink Friday 2 (which was a week ago, by the way).

The former Uproxx cover star has had a solid 2023, releasing her album Coi on the strength of the unstoppable hit single “Players.” She also appeared with Busta Rhymes on “Luxury Life” and released some eye-catching videos for songs like “Isabel Marant” and “Bops.”

Coi Leray Hops On Stripper Pole & Shows Off Her Moves: Watch

Coi Leray is apparently looking to expand her skillset when it comes to dance performance. Moreover, she recently posted a TikTok showing off her pole-dancing moves, as she slides down it while holding on with just one hand and opens her legs wide without fret. Even if you might not be a fan of the lewd display– or of pole dancing in general– you can’t deny the rapper’s showing off some significant upper body strength here. Just goes to show that sometimes, being expressive, playful, sexy, or fearless when it comes to dance is a much more solid workout than some haters assume.

Overall, the Boston native’s never been shy about her image or her sensuality, with many discussions sprouting around the way in which she presents herself. For example, a fan recently questioned whether she’s changed her face at all, for which she had a simple explanation. “lol because I’m gaining weight and it’s going to my face,” Coi Leray remarked on Twitter. She always keeps it pretty real when it comes to how she sees herself and promotes herself online, especially when it comes to her physical freedom and agency.

Coi Leray Displays Her Pole Dancing Skills: Watch

With this response in mind, though, it’s fair to say that the “Players” MC doesn’t appreciate assumptions about her body. However, it’s something that still serves as a focal point for many of her confrontations online, whether that’s with fans or with others in the industry. Still, when it comes to Coi Leray’s relationship with her father Benzino– her most contentious and public conflict– this aspect bears little relevance. Rather, they bicker over whether they’re exploiting one another in their careers, and how they often discredit each other in some way.

In fact, this dispute even dragged Busta Rhymes into the conversation for his recent provocative music video with her. It’s quite disheartening to see, as the family angle makes drama like this a little more uncomfortable to watch. Hopefully, they will continue to move past this and Coi will keep being unabashedly herself online. For more news and the latest updates on Coi Leray, stay posted on HNHH.

Coi Leray Christmas Song Teaser Sets The Holiday Mood, Cheeky Booty Pic Reveals Her Thigh Tattoo

As nice as it is to take time off around the holiday season and focus on setting your New Years intentions and spending time with your family, even our favourite artists find themselves putting in work close to Christmas. To begin the week, 6ix9ine said that he’s planning on sharing new music before 2024 (or very early on in January at the latest), and now, Coi Leray is teasing something fun and festive she’s had in the works. On Monday (December 11), the Boston-born artist posted a snippet on Twitter of her unreleased track, writing, “Listen to this idea. This s**t is FIREEEEEEEEE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😊.”

Seeing as she called it an “idea,” we’re not expecting the song to actually hit DSPs in time for Santa’s arrival. Of course, we’d be happy to hear any new music Leray wants to share, especially after hearing her growth on her sophomore COI album. So far, even those who don’t currently listen to the fashionista’s music are in favour of her releasing it. “I’m not big on her but this actually sounds cute. I’d definitely stream it,” one of them wrote, with thousands of others liking the message.

While we wait to see if Leray plans to give her fans a Christmas present, she’s treating them in other ways with a cheery new booty picture. Earlier this afternoon, the “Blick Blick” hitmaker modelled a tiny white crop top and matching thong for the camera, showing off not only her petite frame and curvy behind but also the bright red and pink ink she has on her thigh, reminding everyone she’s proud to be a Leray.
