Coi Leray believes that major music labels benefit from female rappers going at each other since she can’t make sense of it otherwise.
On Saturday (April 27), the New Jersey rapper took to X (formerly known as Twitter) and shared her thoughts on the tensions between her peers of the same gender.

“Idk if you ask me it seem like these labels are behind the female controversy,” she wrote. “They see it helps push the music , I wouldn’t be surprised if they the ones behind the fan pages.
“Most of these female rappers not even from the same places !!!! Not from the same hoods….why are we beefing?”
A social-media user subsequently commented on the second tweet by alluding to her now-resolved tension with Nicki Minaj, writing: “Most of them like you, do it to get Nicki minaj support and then when she turns on you.. you don’t have any support from any fan base.”

In response, the 26-year-old wrote: “Yall so stupid. me and Nicki spoke behind the scenes, personally, and I never brought that to the public . Business ain’t work out, that’s okay. I still wish her nothing but the best and blick blick is one of the greatest videos that will be in history.”
In 2022, Leray and Nicki joined forces on “Blick Blick,” but the journey to the song’s release was anything but smooth — in fact, it almost didn’t happen at all.
During a brief Q&A with her Twitter followers that year, the New York City native revealed that she pulled the plug on the collaboration at one point after her peer’s father, infamous rapper and businessman Benzino, ruined the surprise by announcing the song ahead of time.
The diamond-certified rap queen said she faced pressure from her label to go back on her decision, but it was ultimately a “private conversation” with Coi that convinced her to change her mind and green-light the song.
“I did pull it,” she wrote in response to a fan asking her about her feature verse on the aforementioned joint. “But the label hit me going hard. But rlly I had a private convo w|coi & that’s what changed my mind. Not the label.”

She added: “I just felt bad that she was robbed of telling the world in her own way @ her own time. But that’s water under the bridge now. Good vibes all 2022.”
