Coi Leray’s spat with Benzino continues to worsen as the two are now trading shots while expressing their misgivings about one another.
The “Players” rapper has been criticizing her father for a number of reasons recently, from his absence during her formative years to him being jealous of her success. Earlier this week, he responded by denying her claims and essentially calling her a liar.
On Tuesday (November 14), Coi Leray took to Instagram Live and further added to the ongoing drama.
“It just seems like every single time … instead of you congratulating me and be happy for me, you want to go online and try to use me to prove yourself to these people and this industry,” she said. “I don’t want to be your clout kid. I rather us … again … just hit me, offline.”
Benzino and Coi Leray have had a contentious relationship since she came into the public eye and kickstarted her music career. The most recent back-and-forth began when she made an appearance on Angie Martinez IRL earlier this month and talked about her relationship with her father.
“At first it was rocky, because I felt like he couldn’t handle my success,” she explained. “I felt like it did come from an envious place. Which is okay, because he’s human, and that’s fine.”
Benzino subsequently responded on Instagram Live, saying: “This industry and the internet have completely messed up the minds of this young generation. I’m tired of her pushing a false narrative about who I am and what I’ve done as a father. In my 40 years in Hip Hop I’ve never ever seen an artist dog their parents out the way Coi does and it’s embarrassing and sad.”
What particularly offended the former co-owner of The Source magazine, however, was that she previously claimed to have been homeless at one point, which made her resort to selling drugs.
“She said she slept in cars, she ain’t never slept in no fucking cars,” he added. “I had my daughter five months out the year. I was with her mother until she was nine, then I had her five months out the year.
“She lived with me twice, in Atlanta she went to Campbell High School. I was a single dad, and I was taking care of my kids. All of my kids.”
Truth is Coi is the best thing Benzino has going on. So he should sit his old washed up ass down and be a fan and support. Old ass bitch. This was his opportunity to be a dad SMH
She’s painting him out to be a deadbeat in interviews he wrong for saying it’s not true? I’m not letting my daughter lie on me cause she famous lmao fuck outta here
@Cody – how do you know she’s lying though? Benzino even says from the time she was 9, he only had her for 5 months out of the year… so more than half of the year he wasn’t there then? He also said “she lived with me twice”, so from the time she was 9, two times she lived with him for 5 months. What a reliable father….
Benzino was thinking Ray Ray was going to be his meal ticket. Looks like someone picked the wrong kid to parade around The Source back in the day.
This seems like the setting for a brazzers movie. And coi and benzino are cringe leads. Except no step dad over there.
Benzino thank god brit didn’t get yo chin cause God damn
There’s clearly no respect there. This should be done in private. They are as bad as each other.
This Foo’s leaving comments sound like they retarded for real. If they talked about their life on the Internet the weirdos would sound sad and pathetic. Truth be told she got her foot in the music industry door telling everyone who would listen that Benzino her father. There is always two sides to every story. Even though most female artists get signed by performing sexual favors. She sound like a clout child cause she can’t do a interview without bringing his name up. But Benzino led a interesting life. He should come out with a biopic and expose the music industry for what it really is. Tell his side of the story. It’s really Blaxploitation the way executives use black artists. Especially females. Got them dressing almost naked and rapping pornographic songs. And before people tell Benzino to sit his old ass down. He would no doubt beat they ass in a fist fight. And smash your Mama’s at the same time. You probably got a parent his age or older. Would you want somebody telling them that? Respect your elders. That’s why most of you trolls are failures in life. Cause you got no business about yourself always talking bad about somebody you don’t know.
I’m a firm believer that Coi Leray got on by doing the opposite. By telling people Benzino ISNT her father LOL
