Coi Leray sat down with The Breakfast Club on Wednesday (April 6) to discuss her forthcoming debut album Trendsetter. During the conversation, the 24-year-old rapper found herself in a sparring match with co-host Charlamagne Tha God as they discussed Pusha T’s relevancy and other “older” MCs after he blatantly told her, “I’m 43. I don’t think your music is for me.”
The comment obviously took her by surprise and she asked him what he listened to, to which he replied, “Who am I listening to right now? I’m actually bumping the new Pusha T that hasn’t come out.”
“Pusha T… OK,” she responded. “It’s a little dark. I like Pusha T, but my cover is bright and colorful. You look at Pusha T’s, it’s black and white and dark. So if that’s the type of time you want to be on, you might need to tap in with a Trendsetter and listen to it and get some spark in your life.
“No disrespect. I love y’all but I call ’em dinosaurs. When you actually look at the history of a dinosaur, they have so many great things about them, right?… but there so distinct [sic] and so not here anymore and you have to really dig deep to find a fossil.”
Charlamagne Tha God quickly interjected and reminded Leray Pusha T has a new project on the way and just dropped a single with JAY-Z as well as Kanye West.
“But he’s got a new album coming out and he’s still fresh,” he countered. “You should hope to have that kind of longevity,” to which Leray replied, “I think Pusha T is fire and I think he’s dope but at the same time, I’m not listening to Pusha T. You don’t play Pusha T on the radio. Why don’t you play what you listen to?” That’s where Charlamagne corrected her and confirmed Pusha T is in rotation at Power 105.

In an effort to back out of the hole she so clearly fell in, Coi Leray proposed a collaboration with Pusha T, saying, “Pusha T, don’t hate me ’cause I love you, but he’s stuck on you, Pusha T. And now, I’m gonna come collab with you and we’re going to go crazy.”
Coi Leray’s Trendsetter album is expected to drop on Friday (April 8) with collaborations from Nicki Minaj, Lil Durk, Pooh Shiesty, Chief Keef, Polo G, NAV, H.E.R., G Herbo and A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, among others. Until then, watch the full interview above. The Pusha T discussion begins around the 17-minute mark.
She a dumbass bro, I couldn’t get through the entire interview.
Forget the interview. Reading the excerpts in this “article” hurt my head. I never thought I’d love to see rap crumble so hard. Back in the day, solidified rappers would just crush the shitty ones and you’d never hear from them again. Nowadays the trash is celebrated and we accept mediocrity unconditionally.
live to see*
I love her she’s authentic
i feel dumber just reading reading the quotes, no way i’m watching a 1 hour interview.
KEEP IT UP MY NIG-GUH
RAP CAREERS LONGER NOW WE NEVER LOSING SAGGYS & SO AT LEAST RESPECT HER GRIND SHE RIGHT DINOSAURS
I’m not feeling her flow at all. And i havent heard anyone bumping her like that. She’s mediocre at best. No one has been really excited about these albums coming out. wish her the best. I’ll eventually here something if its fire but low key disappointed they let anyone rap nowadays. shits depressing.
she’s not just some random nobody. she’s literally Ray Benzino’s daughter.
I would be embarrassed too with all
The ranting & raving he does,
He surely carries himself more like a broad or
Even more so a Child.
Boy Leray is the bitch daughter of benzino. You actually expect her to be intelligent lol? She has the personality of a tree stump and a brain the size of a peanut.
whos this little girl lol
Idc about females music I just care about how they look n she’s very pretty ?
