Coi Leray isn’t echoing her father’s sentiments about Eminem‘s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction.
On Wednesday (May 4), Slim Shady was named among the Class of 2022 inductees into the prestigious Rock & Roll Hall of Fame alongside the likes of Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie and Duran Duran. (Sadly, A Tribe Called Quest won’t be joining them.)
However, his longtime rival Benzino was less than impressed. “Rock and roll hall of fame is just like the Grammy’s,” the former Source publisher tweeted hours after the announcement. “They have no respect for our culture, Black or Hip Hop and if you don’t agree, you’re racist, period point blank.”
Benzino continued his tirade by calling out the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for inducting Eminem on his first go-around before iconic Black Hip Hop acts such as Nas, Outkast and Lauryn Hill (all of whom meet the Rock Hall’s criteria for eligibility, which requires 25 years to have passed since an artist’s first record).
As Benzino’s scathing remarks sizzled across social media, Coi Leray took to Twitter on Thursday (May 5) to let it be known that she doesn’t share her dad’s views on Eminem’s latest achievement.
“I’m about love, equality, respect and forgiveness,” she wrote. “I have nothing against Eminem, 25 years of my life all I know is he a very talented artist and actor ! (8 Mile was great). Let’s build bridges and get over them before you burn the bridge and burn with it.”
Benzino’s latest attack on Eminem came as a surprise considering he recently announced the end of their long-running feud, which dates back to the early ’00s during Benzino’s tenure at The Source
“To all @Eminem fans and Stans all over the world,” he tweeted in March. “The beef is officially over. I’m letting y’all know I have no hate towards any of his fans & recognize his contributions to Hip Hop. He truly is apart of the culture & 1 of the best to rock the mic regardless of his color.”
Benzino Trashes Eminem + His Fans: 'The Most Corniest Non-Violent Coward Fanbase Hip Hop Has Ever Seen'
What’s less surprising, though, is Coi Leray siding with Eminem over Benzino. The 24-year-old has had a contentious relationship with her Hip Hop media personality father that has played out in public since her rise to fame.
Most recently, Benzino appeared to mock the first-week sales of Coi’s debut album Trendsetter (which earned roughly 11,000 album-equivalent units) by writing, “IF SHE HAD TRACK WITH @IAMBENZINO I WOULDA LISTENED @COILERAY” in an Instagram Story.
Benzino later claimed his Instagram account was hacked and reiterated his love for his daughter on his single “Zino Vs. The Planet,” but that didn’t stop Coi Leray from addressing her dad’s comment.
“God has been the best father to me,” she tweeted. “I can’t complain about anything. My debut album is amazing and not one song can you say is bad. It been 5 days. I understand Coi Leray is so viral & works good on blogs headlines but trust me, it’s all part of the game just ride out andstayfocus.”
Haha, good girl Coi. This a hot knife she pushed in daddy’s chest. If she can manage to make one song with Eminem in the future, that’ll probably be the nail in the coffin for Benzino. (Where did I hear that before ) lol
This Dingy Lil’ Broad has not even been around long enough to judge any of the former artists: Wu-Tang, KRS-1, Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, NAS, Ice-T, Ice-Cube, Digital Underground, Curtis Blow, EPMD, Slick Rick, etc. Once again Em definitely deserves to be there, but allow him to wait his turn in line like everyone else has. He should not be skipped ahead of artists who are equally deserving. Not even Jay-Z should have been inducted prior to many of the aforementioned artists; no way Jay is suppose to be there before Nas, Rakim, Kane, etc. This is not so much about race but about privilege, entitlement, etc., and nobody is blaming Em, he is just accepting what has been bestowed upon him. This Lame Lil’ Broad would never have been heard of if not for her famous/infamous father; she is an ungrateful privileged kid who needs to STFU-ASAP. Oh I’m Not A Zino Stan.
Wait his turn in line? Lol you sound like a fucking twat. Any excuse to play the victim. Maybe if you didn’t spend your days writing novels in the comment section you could achieve something in life. Fat fuck typing away 24/7. Get your shit together, diabetes breath.
Look here son why don’t you stay in your lane and out of mine, because what you think and $3.00 bucks won’t even get your silly-dilly-azz a cup of cheap coffee. You’re a keyboard-warrior for certain, you’re a frail boi. Son I’m an honorably discharged veteran, I graduated from a major University with Honors I may add, small business owner. I’m not rich but I’m cool, and with all of that I’m good in any hood dressed like middle class adult. Your scary-azz would not survive 5 minutes in the hoods that I’m welcome in, places that I’m comfortable in. You sit behind a keyboard and slang insults; you’re a Puss-Puss Fairy.
Gotta love the pic chosen for the article. Both Coi and Zino are so light skinned that the person who typed this article had to either edit Em’s pic to make him more white or search for a photo of him with a spotlight on him like that.
The headline is misleading. Benzino didn’t say anything about Eminem at all. He has an issue with the Rock and Roll HOF. And I think his point is 100% valid.
None of the artists he’s listed have achieved nowhere near Eminem’s level of success. Of course Em will be inducted ahead of a f*cking Lil Kim, are you serious? Just because she‘s black and had her heyday before Em doesn‘t mean she should get inducted in the R&R HoF ahead of him. What kind of delusional entitlement is that?
Has to do with his race. Maybe read it slower.
I’m a HUGE Benzino stan. I wanna eat scraps out his garbage and sniff his dirty drawals!
Look here fruit boi stay out my lane you have no clue what the moniker “ZUBU-G7” stands for. Son you are not built for any of this why don’t you go get a spray-tan and a perm Fairy-Boi. Get off my nutz-sack there is no room your wife has them well taken care of, oh and your Garden-Tool of a wife will come home and give you a Big-Ole’ sloppy kiss when she gets home compliments of Zubu Da God.
Lmao no one cares about your fake internet name .
Well, Em is a rock star considering he can’t even leave the house without a CIA detail.
Sorry, I don’t want to comment on this site anymore but I just wanted to say: Your own daughter n***a?!?! AHAAHAAHAAHAAHAAHAAHAAA!!!!!!!
It’s my belief you dont air your families dirty laundry for the world to see. She acts very
childish and immature. Riding Em’s dick
and he can give two fucks about her. That’s
why her star studded album flopped because she FAF!
