Coi Leray has long since faced criticism over her shape, with body shamers making comments about her frame throughout her entire career.
Her body shape has been such a talking point that Coi Leray believes she paved the way for this generation of “slim” women to be accepted in the music industry. However, she has sensed a shift in the trend and is wondering what changed.
“Everybody skinny now,” she wrote on X (Twitter) on Thursday (July 25). “ I thought skinny wasn’t it ? I got bullied for being skinny for 5 years … lol what changed yall minds?”

Nonetheless, one social media user wasn’t interested in hearing Leray’s take, telling the rapper, “girl shut up.”
Coi Leray didn’t take kindly to being trolled, responding with, “You shut up b#### wassup.”
Coi Leray Adresses Her Critics
Last year, the “Players” hitmaker addressed the constant criticism of her body during an interview with Apple Music 1’s Eddie Francis.
“I’ve dealt with the body shaming situation, honestly my whole entire career,” she explained. “Shout out to all the slim women out there. I feel like I actually paved the way in the music industry for a slim woman to just finally be accepted, honestly, after a very long time. I’m talking since [the] Mýa and Left Eye days.”
She continued, highlighting the significance of the topic. “It’s something very important you talk about,” Coi Leray added. “I wake up every day and say, ‘I love my body.’ I don’t give a f###. When I put my clothes on, I’m not saying, ‘Yo, I’m going to put this on to troll.’ I’m putting it on because I love to look good, I love to feel good. And that’s what I personally, genuinely love to wear and like. When they make it about my body, it’s just ongoing. This gets old after a while. It really does.”
