Benzino Tells Coi Leray That Latto ‘Admires’ Her After The Rapper Pokes Fun At His Neck On ‘Peaches & Eggplants’ Remix

Coi Leray and her father, Benzino, are sharing their reactions after Latto seemingly dissed the latter in her latest feature verse. As The Shade Room previously reported, Latto attempted to mend her relationship with Coi Leray while on stage at Coachella in April. At the time, Leray caught offense to Latto previously rapping that she was “smoking” b****s “big as Coi Leray.”

However, Leray appeared to dodge Latto’s olive branch and recently released a single where she rapped that she rolled up “Latto out the bag,” as per TMZ.
