2022 HipHopDX Rising Star Coi Leray’s stage presence has always been about high energy, but the Trendsetter rapper found herself having to show one particular fan she’s still going to assert her agency as a performer and not be disrespected.
Ahead of her upcoming Trendsetter tour, Leray brought a fan onstage to receive a mock lap dance. While the man sat and Leray twerked on him to the crowd’s delight, the man reached out and grabbed Leray’s butt, prompting her to immediately have the fan removed.
“Get this n-gga the fuck outta here!” she told the crowd before bringing another fan up on stage.
While Leray didn’t address the incident after it happened, she has been outspoken on numerous occasions about her body, whether fighting against body dysmorphia or trolls who say she’s too skinny. In a since-deleted Instagram post last December, Leray showed off her body in a bikini and called for body shaming to end going into the new year.
“Don’t madder how natural she is, who her doctor is, if she has curves, cellulite, big small, round square, let’s just make it a priority to spread love and worry the fuck about yourself,” she wrote in the caption. “Yuh. 2022 I’m excited.”
Don’t expect Leray to have to consistently remove fans from stage during her Trendsetter tour dates. Although the album has picked up over 650 million streams combined over the five big streaming platforms of TIDAL, YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music, it didn’t come out of the gate setting the world on fire. In its first week, Trendsetter moved just over 9,000 total album-equivalent units, slightly below early projections.
Coi Leray Defends 'Trendsetter' First-Week Sales: 'Look At Your Favorite Artists' Debut Albums'
In April, Leray defended the sales of her debut during an interview with TMZ Hip Hop and owned up to the first-week sales but also tempered expectations as well.
“I actually feel like — you know what’s so crazy?” she said. “I have not got one bad remark on the music. Everybody’s saying the music’s so good it’s just I’m so viral that over time, you know, people I guess expected something more. But if you do your research and look at your favorite artist’s debut album sales — come on. You know what I’m saying? So it’s just it’s a stepping stone. It’s part of the process.”
Benzino must be a proud father
The fact this girl is estranged from her father means she has daddy issues and loves being a hoe. Benzino takes another L for not raising his girl properly like a real man should
So she’s giving lap dances on stage but gets angry with a fan/participant for grabbing those cakes?
What cakes? More like pancakes ?
The stupidity of some of these females. You sexually grind on someone then get mad that you got touched. Body agency, you a whole thot
It’s just a performance, not a real strip club…
This hoe ,bitch I thought you was getting ready to fuck him.
It ain’t even nothing on her to grab
Ho built like a 12 year old boy
make songs about fuckin and suckin gives a lap dance and doesn’t like what comes with that energy…
It’s just a performance, not a real strip club…
If you act like it, why should I know when you’re serious and then “acting”??
Because it’s clearly at a concert and this is purely a performance, you sad little rapist wannabe. You must be a Republican since you clearly don’t understand what the fuck consent is.
This was whole scenario was weird.
yuh
What butt? There’s nothing there. She kick the fan offstage for grabbing air pretty much lol
LMAO
Actions have consequences. When are women going to realise this. The energy you put out always comes back. If you don’t want to be touched don’t do a lapdance. It’s that simple.
true
You don’t get to get handsy with a person just because they’re doing a dance routine during a show without their permission. It’s a performance, not a sex act you pathetic little dicked clown. This whole comment section is filled with you incels. Holy shit.
Coi is just doing everything I taught her at 7. Get it gurrrrrrrrrllllllll
Janet Jackson used to do lap dances on stage but she tied them up first. She knew what would happen
AYO BENZINO BITCH ASS!!!!! LOOK!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA
So she can touch him but he can’t touch here!!
Sells records off the appearance of being a skank then gets offended when someone grabs her butt after she shoves her vagina in there face… am I missing something?
The dichotomy of women?
So many incels and rapist wannabes around here. Holy fuck. You guys are too retarded to tell the difference between a performance for a concert and a consensual sex act. All of you should be on watch lists, but since Republicans love monsters like you it likely won’t happen.
