Coi Leray cites Nicki Minaj’s legendary “Monster” verse to flex her own rising status, revealing how much it costs to land a verse.
Coi Leray may be a relative newcomer to the game, but the recently-appointed XXL Freshman has already been staking her claim. From receiving the coveted Drake co-sign to collaborating with artists like Dave East, EarthGang, and Pooh Shiesty, Leray has carved out a lane for herself that cannot be denied.
It’s reached the point where Leray has become somewhat of a household name, and though she has yet to release an official debut album, her price has already reached a significant level. Like many before her, Leray opted to flex the cost of a verse, circling back to the immortal braggadocio of Nicki Minaj circa “Monster” to emphasize her point.

“What nicki say?” writes Coi. “50k for a verse no album out? Don’t forget, I still never dropped an album.” Though the invocation of Minaj’s name drew out the presence of the Barbz — who weren’t exactly keen on Leray’s citation of their Queen — many fans were quick to praise the melodist’s undeniable rise.
It’s entirely that Leray found herself inspired to flex in the wake of “Big Purr’s” continued success
50k for a verse, no album out. Not too shabby for Coi Leray. Do you foresee that price tag rising even higher?
