Coi Leray is speaking out to set the record straight and to ask her dad Benzino to stop all this online drama.
As we previously reported, the Love and Hip-Hop star was heated after Coi did an interview with Angie Martinez and claimed he was envious of her success. Coi explained, “At first it was rocky because I felt like he couldn’t handle my success I felt like it did come from an envious place which is okay cuz he’s human and it’s fine,” Coi explained at the time. “But I felt like you know he’s one of those people that feels like, ‘Yo, like I still have a story to tell.’ You know, I still feel like something I have to say something.”
In response, Benzino went on an Instagram rant and denied his daughter’s claims. He also said, “This has to be the most ridiculous [sh*t] I’ve heard in my entire life on this earth,” he wrote. “How tf can be envious towards someone I RAISED, NUTURED, PROVIDED FOR, INFLUENCED AND LOVE VERY DEARLY???”

He added, “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,” he continued. “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.” Well the “Players” artist is now hitting back. Here’s what she said in her recent Instagram Live:
“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 your self to these people and this industry.” She went on to say, “I don’t want to be your clout kid. I rather us… again…. Just hit me, offline.”
During the live, Coi went on to say that their beef is actually affecting their family even their grandfather who had to be put on a “breathing machine” over the stress.
Now, although Benzino feels like “some things are beyond repair” at this point, fans are hoping that these two can put their differences aside and eventually get along.
