Coi Leray performed at the Rolling Loud festival and the crowd was quite noticeably quiet and preoccupied. This drew a lot of critism with some on social media saying she wasn’t ready for mainstream, others saying she’s an industry plant and her crowd was accused of doing the mannequin challenge. When stopped outside of The Ivy restaurant in LA, she talked about why the crowd had a lack of enthusiasm blaming the industry itself.

“I wouldn’t be who I am if I wasn’t for me,” she told TMZ regarding the crowd’s reaction—or lack thereof. “I feel like there’s only one of me and the reason why everything is the way it is is because of me. So it don’t matter if they’re talking bad or good—they’re talking because of me.”

She continued, saying that she’s being targeted because she’s “bringing something new to the table.”

“Ain’t nobody else doing shit,” she said. “Ain’t nobody really doing nothing that’s making people wanna go ahead and gravitate towards that. Everything that’s done is repetitive. They seen it already. … So when you got somebody bringing something new to the table, they don’t like that. So it’s just going to take some time for people to get used to. I ain’t trippin’.”

This also isn’t the first time this has happened to her. Just a few months prior she had a dead audience in Texas. Let’s hope she’s right. And while she spent a week avoiding addressing her set, it seems her going to The Ivy was an intentional way to reach the paparazzi. Let’s be honest. No one goes to The Ivy and gets stopped by happenstance.
