Coi Leray is not holding back.
Case in point, she is now clapping back at critics over her debut album’s sales.
Full story below…
It all began earlier this week when DJ Akademiks reported that ‘Trendsetter’ was set to debut with 11,000 units during its first week, which is 35,000 less than the projected #1 album Lil Durk‘s ‘7220.’

The figures have not been verified as of reporting, but it was enough for critics to come for her. This eventually led Leray to respond, 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 and stay focus.”

In another tweet, she went on to asset that she has “thick skin” and that she would not “fold under pressure.”

The complete sales figures as to where ‘Trendsetter will land on the Billboard 200 chart will be available in-full next week.
She’s so arrogant you are not that big for blogs to use for click bait arrogant lil a s s thought she had a hit with Nicki even got a tattoo flop 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that song lasted 2 weeks on billboard hot 100
Shes lightskin of course shes arrogant, sick of how many new lightskin females are coming into the industry but brown to dark skin women dont get much recongition i could care less now about these talentless colourism women urgh….
Stop trying to color to play victim. Megan, normani, the city girls, summer Walker and sza are all either brown skin/darkskin and are promoted so you can miss me with the “colorism nonsense. And being light skin is not synonymous with arrogance. Any one of any color or race can and has displayed arrogance.
Diva just sucked some hot young security for getting a free pass to Camila’s concert front row💅🏾 It’s totally worth it. It’s a win win situation💋👠 Diva’s life so good
She bought into her own hype. First mistake. Take this as a lesson and work harder to get where u really wanna b
She got a big Nicki feature and still flopped all that hype and promo for song bragging bout 13 million video views and lasted 2 weeks on billboard chats lol
True. She’s young n needs radio. Nikki will only get u first week iTunes honey. Her features won’t make careers
cardi features certainly won’t help anyones career 😅 ex. rumors, no love, that dj khaled song. ALL FLOPPED 💀 nobody is asking to work w cardi. everybody wants a nicki feature, they see who’s the prettier gal with better barz and i agree with them. mhmm yes i do 🥰
Nicki’s power is whaning. Where are her own singles at? Queue ballad/dance’pop/edm track next…
Same type of numbers Nicki next album will do. It’s not a big deal.
Nicki can sell 1k and it will still outdo cardi
Bc cardi can’t even drop a sophomore record
Nicki in her 5th era and 13 year mainstream 😂😂😂 #SpotTheDifference
#9kmila can relate 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
she’s a new artist on her first album and still sold more than that rat racist camicky cabelly, coming in at only 9,000 copies 🤣 pathetic. would be wise if her fans never show their faces here ever again. dumbasses 😂😂😂
Why is album sakes even a topic? Sales are nothing like they used to be. Just as long as people are doing what they love is all that matters. My favorite artists don’t sell like they used to but they still make great music. That’s all that matters to me.
True you have a point HOWEVER, strong sales is necessary for an artist to keep their debt to a record company low. Yes, there are some successful acts out rn, but they are always on tour to help cut the expenses for the album. Most money they received is an advancement and must be paid back from the project. You’re correct that our favorite artists don’t do the numbers as before, but that’s due to the fact they’re listening audience is older, the artist is older, and the market has completely changed. They still see some form of success because they built such a foundation at the height of their careers. Artists get pennies on the dollar per song and album sold. If I sold 11k albums and had a Nikki feature, chances are you didn’t even make enough to cover the cost for the song…..unless Nikki decided to help her out for free. Too many moving parts and factors so this is why artists today can’t just enjoy making music.
Shut the Hell up lol
She really is a flop. She claims to be a trendsetter, but she followed the trend of working with Nicki, and it resulted in her having a flop debut album. She should have called one of the girls who are actually relevant in the music scene. If she had called Cardi B instead, her album would have done a little better.
When will people learn that we are in the 2020s? Nicki Minaj isn’t a thing anymore. Coi and Fivio Flopreign are the only people who are still checking for Nicki thinking it will make their careers take off. I guess they know better now.
New flash sweetheart, Cardi’s last three singles all FLOPPED hard. Cardi isn’t as hot as you all paint her to be. Payola got y’all thinking she’s the sht when in fact, she can’t even sell out two measly concerts lol. Try again love and stop blaming Nicki for someone else loss. Cardi doesn’t even like her fans. She said y’all are dumbasses who can suck a big d*** lol
You mean the soon-to-be diamond certified, Billboard Hot 100 #1 song WAP is a flop? You mean that the Billboard Hot 100 #1 and Grammy-nominated song Up is a flop? You must be confusing Cardi’s singles with Bussin and Blick Blick. Both fell of the charts expeditiously. Hahahaha! Nicki fans are slow.
3 diamond singles album still on billboard 200 Queen long gone all songs from her debut album platinum or higher nominated for best rap female billboard awards Nicki
Got 0 nominations all them songs she released didn’t sell 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cardi last female rapper with number 1 billboard hot 100 with up why not female rappers hit number 1 since 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Funny how all these Cardi B stan riding her d*** and she don’t even like em🤣🤣🤣 she called y’all dumba$$ and wish death on y’all mamas🤣🤣🤣🤣 what a fave y’all got
Hardly a Trendsetter
Who?
who is this girl? and why should her sales be higher?
just heard the song with Nicki and that one is trash…
She doing her thing, just need to perform at some shows and keep putting in work.
Shes lightskin of course shes arrogant, sick of how many new lightskin females are coming into the industry but brown to dark skin women dont get much recongition i could care less now about these talentless colourism women urgh….
