“I've always wanted a cover with the Vogue family. I love fashion. [My] Fendi x Marc Jacobs campaign, sitting front row at Louis Vuitton, being invited directly by Anthony Vaccarello to pull up to YSL… I'm a female rapper. At the end of the day, this just doesn't happen to rappers. As a young Black woman at that, it's so important for me because that's all I ever wanted to be: that young Black woman in fashion knocking down barriers and representing my culture and Hip-Hop, period. This is my introduction, and this is my moment. I hope people are as excited as I am for what's next.” - Coi Leray on why this is her MOMENT.
Most recently, Coi Leray shined at the sold-out Barclays Center on Jhené Aiko's Magic Hour Tour in NYC. This followed the launch of "Camp Courage," her nonprofit organization aimed at inspiring youth through collaboration and support, fostering inclusive environments for personal growth. Leray's momentum continued with the release of her EP 'Lemon Cars' and its titular music video on May 24th, solidifying her status as a rising star. This builds on her recent announcement as the face of Footlocker for Adidas's “It Starts with Sneakers” campaign. In April, Leray debuted at Coachella 2024, performing two unreleased songs and offering a behind-the-scenes glimpse in Teen Vogue.
About Coi Leray:
Kicking off the year with two Grammy nominations (“Best Rap Performance” for her massive hit “Players” and “Best Pop Dance Recording” for “Baby Don't Hurt Me” with David Guetta and Anne Marie), a new label, her debut at Coachella, a nomination for iHeartRadio’s 2024 Awards (“Dance Song Of The Year” with “Baby Don’t Hurt Me”), and now a brand new track, 2024 is shaping up to be a massive year for Coi Leray. This new era (which Coi refers to as her “grown & sexy era”) follows a successful 2023 for Coi with the release of her album, COI, which debuted on the Billboard 200, and the chart-topping success of her RIAA-certified platinum hit “Players” (now Grammy-nominated). The track earned her first Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 with her highest charting single to date landing at #9 and dominated the radio with three consecutive weeks at #1 on Rhythmic Radio, #1 on Urban Radio, #1 on the Billboard Hot Rap Songs Chart, and #5 on Billboard’s Radio Chart. She continued to make waves throughout the year with major festival performances such as Rolling Loud California, Austin City Limits, Summer Jam and more as well as joining the lineup at Jay-Z’s Made In America and Kid Cudi’s Moon Man’s Landing. Coi also became the voice of the WNBA’s “More Than Game” campaign ahead of their 2023 season and continues to build her resume in the fashion space with her collaboration with FENDI by Marc Jacobs for their Summer Capsule collection. You can also hear Coi on the big screen, with her collaboration with Metro Boomin on their song “Self Love”, as part of the Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse soundtrack.
