Hip Hop artist Coi Leray has been very vocal about facing criticism for her body shape. The Trendsetter album creator also publicly admitted to mental health struggles.
To all my trendsetters, I’m sorry I let you down. I don’t have it in me to keep pushing. I feel like I’m brain-dead. Pray that everyone continues to keep setting trends and striving. Don’t know when I’ll be back but I don’t even want to think about it,” tweeted Coi Leray in February 2022.
Two months earlier, Leray called on people to stop focusing on other people’s image. She wrote, “Don’t [matter] how natural she is, who her doctor is, if she has curves, cellulite, big small, round square, let’s just make it a priority to spread love and worry the f### about yourself.”
The topic of the Boston-born rapper’s body came up again recently after she took issue with Latto namedropping her in the “Put It On Da Floor” single. The song includes Latto rapping, “Smoking on that gas, blunt big as Coi Leray.”
In response, Leray tweeted, “Latto bye. Here you go [talking] about my body. Please do not come on here and talk about nobody’s BODY. Lol like seriously. Out of all things. Lmaooo ya blunt my size? Lmaooo this s### is never-ending.”
Coi Leray later acknowledged she may have overreacted to the “Put It On Da Floor” line. Both women apparently reconciled after Latto used her Coachella Festival Weekend 2 set to say, “Coi, by the way, I love your body.”
