AceShowbiz - Coi Leray and Benzino are on good terms now. The "Players" hitmaker and her father have been having a rocky relationship over the years, but they seemed happy when Benzino watched her perform for the first time at Rolling Loud Miami.
Following her set at the Saturday, July 22 festival, the 26-year-old conducted an interview backstage. She then called her father to join her while embracing him.
"I'm just saying, she's amazing," Benzino gushed when speaking to the interviewer. "Like for real, no bulls**t. I love her. Seeing her like that … You can say I'm biased, but honestly, like, I don't see nobody else doing that. She's amazing, man."
Coi noted that "it's the first time he ever, ever seen me perform." When the interviewer asked Benzinon what it means to see her perform, the femcee interjected, "It means I'm done carrying this hip-hop legacy s**t. We outside forever baby."
Prior to this, Coi and Benzino had been involved in online back-and-forth. In April 2022, the raptress revealed that she tried to get her dad's Instagram account removed for the sake of his mental health.
When speaking on "The Cruz Show", Coi said she has contacted Instagram to delete her father's page amid their feud. "I try to report him! 'Cause he needs to know the 'off' button. He does not know the 'off' button," she told host J Cruz.
"And my dad doesn't understand, I love my dad, because family is everything. But blood don't make you family," Coi continued. "And when you start doing s**t that starts questioning your loyalty and who you are as a person, especially to your own daughter … I forgive. I have faith. That's why I'm still here and able to be like 'Yo, [that's] my father. I have faith.' "
