Coi Leray has released her new EP Blue Moon today. It also just so happens to be the same day that a rare blue supermoon will be visible this evening. Here's how to check it out.
For Blue Moon's lead single "Isabel Marant," the 26-year-old seemingly responds to Latto's "Put It On Da Floor" verse.
The song is featured as track number three on the EP, and right in the opening line, Leray mentions Latto explaining she's rolling her up in a blunt or joint to smoke.
"Yeah I'm on they ass (Yeah) / Hop up out that couch and roll up Latto out the bag," Leray raps on the track.
The verse seems to be in direct response to Latto's line on "Put It On Da Floor," where she raps, "Smokin' on that gas, blunt big as Coi Leray / Bitches like to run they mouth, but I'm the type to run a fade."
Coi Leray initially wasn't feeling the verse and took offense to it but later felt maybe she overreacted in a since-deleted tweet. According to Leray, she made it clear she doesn't want her name mentioned for clickbait, especially from people she doesn't have in her circle.
"Maybe I over reacted idk," she wrote. "End of the day. Don't say my name for clicks and likes. Specially if we don't speak or communicate. I'm not a big blunt small blunt. Don't compare me to nada. Mention bitches you actually beef with."
She continued, "Put it on the floor but leave me out of the bs. … There's a lot that goes on behind the scenes. Y'all don't be knowing the half of the shit that goes on in this shit. But the main goal is ICON SHIT. If it don't make me rich or better person. Stay away."
Latto changed her verse on the official remix with Cardi B and even shouted out Coi Leray during her Coachella set, which the latter seemed to have accepted at the time. Leray also tweeted she didn't want to be in a beef with Latto.
"It was the diss record with my name on it that confused me," she wrote. "Much love to Latto! Appreciate the compliment."
Leray also mentioned her ex-boyfriend Trippie Redd in a less aggressive tone right after the Latto name-drop, stating she's made it as big as the Ohio native.
"Tried to count me out, and now I'm big as Trippie Redd (Yeah, Red, Red)," she raps. Trippie Redd released a song titled "Leray" where he reflected on his relationship with the rapper and how he wish he never got with her.
A few months after the song was released, Coi Leray hopped on Twitter to warn Trippie about mentioning her on any of his albums and calling him out for not ending things the right way.
"Let this be the last fucking project with my name on it ... that's all ima say ... time will heal ...," she tweeted. "I wish you would of just made everything right instead of doing shit this way... smh shit crazy .... I'm gone ... bout to blast pop smoke till I fall asleep."
She continued, "Instead of just saying I want you back , you gonna keep putting me on your albums? Childish."
Blue Moon comes equipped with five tracks. In an Instagram post, Leray explained how this project is her most vulnerable to date.
"This EP, I get vulnerable. I got tired of 'trying' new things and wanted to just do what I do BEST," she wrote. "I have a hard time with telling my story because I get wrapped up in the media narratives, however music is the best way for me to tell it. Sorry I can't argue with yall on the internet all day. It's my life, my story, so why not let me tell it? Shit.. at least give me a chance to."
