Like her bars and verses, Coi Leray has been very sharp and firm with her choice of words. While many know her through her songs "Blick Blick" and "Players," many Hip-Hop fans also know her as Benzino's daughter.
In a fiery social media rant, Leray is letting everybody know that she has "nothing to do" with her father's recent statements, especially the ones involving the disgraced rapper R. Kelly.
Coi Leray Cuts Ties With Benzino
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, Leray did not hold back when expressing her candid thoughts about her father, Benzino.
"I want everybody to know I want nothing to do with anything my father has going on," she wrote. "I haven't spoken to him in over a year and I don't condone or respect any of them interviews he got going on. I don't respect his decisions and I really want nothing to do with him please dont even think of me when you see him."
Leray and Benzino have had a checkered history, with one being Benzino leaking to the public that his daughter and Nicki Minaj recorded a collaboration for a new song.
While Leray debunked the revelation, the truth eventually got out when she and Minaj officially released "Blick Blick."
Leray blasted Benzino online at the time, irked by him for spoiling the supposed surprise.
"Sharing the same DNA and blood DOESN'T make us FAMILY . Loyalty , boundaries , respect , teaching , guidance , love , patience , encouragement MAKES US FAMILY," she added in a follow-up tweet.
Leray's statements came after her father's most recent statements at the We in Miami podcast, where he defended R. Kelly, went viral.

Benzino Defends R. Kelly's Sexual Abuse
Speaking to the We in Miami podcast, Benzino argued that R. Kelly should not rot in prison because his victims were only a few years below the age of consent in the United States.
The Guardian reported that a Chicago court has upheld that R. Kelly was correctly sentenced to 20 years in prison on child sexual abuse convictions.
"Again, the legal age is 16 years old," Benzino said. "Does that make it right if a n***a does it? Yes or no?"
While the hosts dubbed R. Kelly's actions as "disgusting" and "wrong" for a grown man to date a 16-year-old, Benzino was unfazed.
"Alright, but it's legal in America," Benzino said. "Why the f**k is R. Kelly doing all this time? You know why, because they're 14 and 13. Two years younger. But you don't think that the people who cleared it for 16-year-olds didn't know that they were f**king with 13, 14-year-olds, too. For the age that young to be the law, you already know they goin' under that. I'm not condoning with little girls; it's sick. Alright, it's sick, but I don't think R. Kelly should rot in jail for 30 years, either."
It can be recalled though that Benzino himself in 2023 said he already does not recognize Coi Leray as his daughter.
At the time, Leray accused her father of being envious of her fame, prompting him to react with a statement, which read: "this industry and the internet have completely messed up the minds of this young generation."
He then said that he had grown tired of his daughter "pushing a false narrative about who I am and what I've done as a father."
