Coi Leray Doesn’t Believe Cardi B Name-Dropping Her on ‘Pretty & Petty’ ‘Was a Diss at All’

Coi Leray is clearing the air after Cardi B name-dropped her on Am I the Drama?‘s “Pretty & Petty.”

Coi joined the Bootleg Kev Podcast on Tuesday (Oct. 28), where she explained her reaction to Cardi referencing her in a bar on the bristling track. “They only hit you when they can’t afford Coi,” Cardi seemingly snipes at BIA on the song.

The “Players” rapper showed plenty of love to Cardi, calling the Bronx native “amazing” and saying that she respects Cardi “all the time.”

“I don’t think it was a diss,” she said, which Bootleg Kev agreed with. “I mean, I don’t got nothing to do with anything else, but as far as me, you know, I don’t think it was a diss at all.”

Coi continued: “I f—k with Cardi. Me and Cardi, we got each other real information. Like we speak offline, we real people before we industry.”

Leray detailed how she has an open line of communication with Cardi, as she’ll text her randomly to show love or get advice about things such as real estate. “I hit her all the time. I’ll hit her and be like, ‘Love you,’” she said. “Or sometimes, like, when I’m moving to Jersey, I’m like, ‘Yo, I need a realtor. You got a realtor for me?’”

The 28-year-old previously debunked rumors that she was upset or annoyed at Cardi name-dropping her on “Pretty & Petty.” “I never said anything about anything. They literally made this s—t up. Get a life,” she wrote on Instagram. “Cardi whole album fire.”

It’s been a busy year for Coi Leray as well, as she became a mom earlier in 2025. On the music side, she teamed up with Shoreline Mafia for her “Act Like You Know” single in October.
