Previously, Benzino went on social media and claimed that his daughter Coi Leray had an upcoming collaboration with Nicki Minaj on the way. The news spread swiftly, but ended up getting shut down by Minaj. However, it was recently noted that Minaj and Leroy do have a song on the way. Since then, Nicki Minaj took to Twitter to address the situation, revealing why she initially pulled the collaboration. 

Minaj spoke candidly about Coi Leray, noting what drew her to the rapper. Minaj said she was sent numerous requests, saying “I couldn’t get Coi verse out my head. I just loved all her choices. And someone I know well confirmed she rlly writes her stuff so I respected her more.”

From there, Nicki addressed Benzino revealing the collaboration prematurely, noting she did in fact pull the collaboration after that. “I did pull it.  but the label hit me going hard. But rlly I had a private convo w|coi & that’s what changed my mind. Not the label,” said the rapper. Minaj continued saying, “I just felt bad that she was robbed of telling the world in her own way @ her own time. But that’s water under the bridge now. Good vibes all 2022.” Take a look above.

Earlier this year, fans were confused after Benzino revealed that his daughter, Coi Leray, had a collaboration with Nicki Minaj in the works, only for Nicki to later state that she didn't have any collabs on the way. 

After Coi addressed her dad, telling him to "sit the f*** down" and let her handle her career, Benzino apologized to Coi and Nicki. He stated in a public message, "I meant no harm nor did I mean to offend or disrespect anyone. I know better, it’s a business of trust, and I broke that. I feel horrible and sad. I am 100 percent in the wrong, and it will never happen again. Smh."

On Monday (March 14), Coi announced that a collaboration with Nicki called "Blick Blick" will be dropping on Friday (March 18).
