Coi Leray has announced that she has cut ties with her father Benzino after he made a number of comments about R. Kelly‘s conviction for sex trafficking.

While far from the first time the father and daughter have fallen out publicly, Leray has made it clear that she no longer wants anything to with Benzino.

She wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday (May 1): “I want everybody to know I want nothing to do with anything my father has going on. I haven’t spoken to him in over a year and I don’t condone or respect any of them interviews he got going on.

“I don’t respect his decisions and I really want nothing to do with him please dont even think of me when you see him. Sharing the same DNA and blood DOESN’T make us FAMILY. Loyalty, boundaries, respect, teaching, guidance, love, patience, encouragement MAKES US FAMILY.

“Keep me away from people who try to ‘get their lick back’ please. And thank you.”

She concluded: “I can’t wait to have a kid one day. I can’t wait to look her/him in the eye and tell them how much I love them.”

Appearing on the We In Miami podcast last week, Benzino criticized the idea that R. Kelly will likely spend the rest of his life in prison for a litany of sex crimes, some relating to children.

“Everybody deserves a second chance,” he said when asked about the disgraced singer. “The legal age is 16 years old, so does that make it right if a n-gga does it — yes or no?

“Why the fuck is R. Kelly doing all this time? Because they’re 14 and 13 — two years younger — but you don’t think that the people who cleared it for 16 years old didn’t know that they’re fucking with 13s and 14s, too?

“Even to make [an] age that young to be the law, you already know they’re going under that. I’m not condoning n-ggas fucking with little girls — it’s sick, alright, it’s sick, it’s sick — but I don’t think R. Kelly should rot in jail for 30 years either.”

The 58-year-old added: “What about R. Kelly getting molested when he was a kid? They didn’t take [that into] consideration. They exploited him and made up all these documentaries that all these people made money off of.

“Them parents of them girls knew what they were dealing with with R. Kelly — a lot of people knew that shit, y’know what I’m saying? But R. Kelly wasn’t educated, man. When does that come in play?”

Benzino, whose social media pages appear to have been taken down, has yet to respond to Coi Leray’s posts.
