Benzino called out Busta Rhymes for doing music video with Coi Leray: “Don’t do no video with my daughter half fucking naked”.
Last week, Coi Leray sat down with Angie Martinez, opening up about her career, body image, and more. Of course, she also spoke on her relationship with her father Benzino. Coi and her father haven’t always seen eye to eye, making for some rough, and public, disagreements from time to time.
“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…and one last thing, @angiemartinez knows she doesn’t like me so she’s just being manipulative and messy. They want me crash out but I’ve worked on myself so hard that I ain’t going backwards for ANYTHING, but what I won’t do is allow ANYONE to slander my name and push a false narrative on my reputation and who I am. I’ve shed too many blood, sweat and tears, survived street wars and indictments. Nope no more.”
During a recent live stream, he opened up about the impact Coi’s words have had on him. He described supporting his daughter since the beginning of her career, taking aim at Martinez in the process. “I know Angie Martinez doesn’t like me,” he said. “I don’t like her either… But to sit there and interview my daughter and manipulate the situation, she knew what she was doing.” He went on, claiming that Martinez should have known better than to “play” with people’s relationships with their kids. “She was wrong,” he added.
The “Players” performer shared that she felt like her father is “envious” of all that she’s managed to accomplish. “At first it was rocky, because I felt like he couldn’t handle my success,” she explained. “[It’s] okay because he’s human, that’s fine,” she added, giving The Source personality some grace. Benzino didn’t take kindly to his daughter’s words, however, and says that he thinks Martinez could be to blame.
Coi Leray’s body and her often contentious relationship with her father were heavy topics of discussion during Leray’s recent interview with veteran radio host Angie Martinez. At one point, Leray claimed Benzino was “envious” when she began experiencing success. She said, “At first it was rocky, because I felt like he couldn’t handle my success. [It’s] OK because he’s human, that’s fine.”
