Coi Leray has been facing some major backlash from the public and the media regarding her first-week sales stats of her latest album Trendsetter. The album reportedly sold 11,000 units first week and debuted at #89 on the Billboard hot100. Leray replied to this backlash on Twitter saying,
“God has been the best father to me. I can’t complain about anything. My debut album is amazing and not one song can you say is bad. It been 5 days. I understand Coi Leray is so viral & works good on blogs headlines but trust me, it’s all part of the game just ride out andstayfocus”
Coi Leray is blazing a new trail for women in the rap game. Portraying an image of natural beauty, self confidence, and pure talent, Leray is truly a trendsetter and a light in an industry that is overrun by artist’s that portray personas curated by their label.
In the past few months Coi Leray has landed some huge name features including Nicki Minaj, Lil Durk, Gunna, G Herbo, A Boogie, just to name a few.Along with these huge features she also landed a clothing collaboration with LA based streetwear brand, “Thats A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup,” by Desto Dubb.
There is no doubt that Coi Leray is a rising star. Through all the negative coverage, Leray has continued to stay positive and speak her truth. I can’t wait to see what she has coming next and am looking forward to seeing her continue to develop and grow as an artist.
