Rapper and singer Coi Leray is known for her very public feud with her father Benzino, however, she turned her attention to concert goers after a performance in New Zealand went left. “Listen, I came out here and I flew 20 hours across states, I’m from Jersey,” she told the crowd. “So don't f–king play with me. Keep that s–t on cute or put it the f–k on mute, b—h. Get the f–k out of here, you just got me f–ked up.
So, what happened? Keep reading to find out.
Coi Leray Goes Viral After New Zealand Concert Tirade
In a video that has since gone viral on TikTok, Coi can be seen performing when someone in the audience threw something onstage, prompting the “Players” artist to try to find the culprit. While Coi was unable to find who threw the object, that did not stop her from continuing the show. Fans supported her decision to stop the show (at least temporarily) commenting, “She’s trynna perform and someone throws something at her she has a right to be mad,” and “She so fire.”
Coi is the latest performer to get hit by an object thrown by a fan. Cardi B, 50 Cent, Lady Gaga, Drake, and Pink have all stopped their shows to address the issue and urge fans to stop throwing things onstage.
This Is Not the First Time Coi Leray Has Responded to Trolls
As a public figure, Coi is used to dealing with trolls, but that has never stopped her from defending herself and her music — online and off. Before the New Zealand incident, Coi called out a Twitter user who called her XXL Freshman Freestyle the “worst ever.” “And the only one who top 10 global in the world right now with 3 songs on the hot 100. This didn’t determine my journey, I always knew I was destined for greatness,” she responded to the hater. “Now look at me. Swimming in hits baby. Y’all to busy worried about what someone has to say. Clearly IDGAF.”
In 2021, after her Rolling Loud set, Coi once again brushed off the haters, tweeting,” "Just wanna say thank you for all the love I get. I’m so loved by so many people it blocks out the hate. You love me I love you. Forever.” She continued, “All people wanna do is eat up my cack. Lol. Gotta love this s–t fr I got good problems."
Coi Leray is here to stay and she doesn’t care what the haters think — just keep your hands (and your things) to yourself.
