โFor years, singles have asked their friends to help find their next match on Tinder, and now weโre making that so easy with Tinder Matchmaker,โ says Melissa Hobley, Chief Marketing Officer at Tinder. โTinder Matchmaker brings your circle of trust into your dating journey and helps you see the possibilities you might be overlooking from the perspective of those closest to you.โ
Coi Leray, has been crowned the Matchmaking Monarch of Tinder Court,
โHanding your phone over to the friend group was the original vibe check. Obviously you want your friends to like whoever youโre crushing on, and Tinder Matchmaker is a fun way to get the bestie seal of approval even before the match.โ says Coi Leray.
Coi Leray debuted her Fendi and Marc Jacobs collab.
She took to Instagram and posted a couple of their pieces, platform shoes, a gorgeous coat and more.
Coi Leray and YouTube released a short film detailing her come-up in the game.
โAll my family loves music,โ she said. โMy momโs just like me. My mom liked trap music from the day I was born, but my mom also loved Caribbean music and Jamaican music. One of the New York stations played Caribbean music on, I think, Sundays. My mom used to go in the car just to listen. What I admire is sheโs strong, sheโs confident, she donโt let nobody tell her nothing. Sheโs dominant, sheโs an alpha female, so thatโs why Iโm an alpha female. Iโm dominant, Iโm confident.โ
Coi opens up about her experience of being a Black woman in a music industry dominated by men.
โAs a young female, a Black female artist in this industry, itโs tough,โ she said. โYou know, itโs a male-dominant industry and a lot of guys will make you feel like, โUh, girl, you gonโ listen to me.โ No, you gonโ listen to me. When I get up in the morning, I put my phone up. I do what I do. So you not gonna tell me who I am. But sometimes, your enthusiasm and your pushiness will be mistaken as, โUh, sheโs got an attitudeโ or โSheโs hard to handle.โ At the end of the day, I know what Iโm capable of. Making this album, itโs my No. 1, itโs my baby, itโs my debut, so to be able to be here still standing here throughout the trials and tribulations, throughout the stuff that I go through, takes a lot.โ
Her Trendsetter album featured Polo G, Pooh Shiesty, Lil Durk, H.E.R., Lil Tecca, Mustard, NAV, and Fivio Foreign.
Coi Leray's debut album Trendsetter followed the โBlick Blick!โ single featuring Nicki Minaj, and features A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Polo G, Lil Durk, Chief Keef, G Herbo, and Pooh Shiesty.
โI just want to finally let yโall bxtchs know, ainโt nobody fw me in that booth,โ Leray wrote on Instagram. โThis will be one of the biggest female artist albums in the world and I put my life on it. tโs not a race, itโs a Trendsetter Marathon.โ
Coi Leray appeared on The Breakfast Club and dived into Charlamagne Tha God's listening habits.
"I'm 43. I don't think your music is for me," Charlamagne told Coi Leray.
Coi was surprised that she wasn't on rotation, and asked Charlamagne who he's listening to.
"Rap-wise, I'm actually bumpin' the new Pusha T that hasn't come out yet," he said.
"Pusha T... okay. It's a little dark. I like Pusha T but my cover is bright and colorful. You look at Pusha T's, it's black and white and dark. So if that's the type of time you want to be on, you might need to tap in with a Trendsetter and listen to it and get some spark in your life."
Coi said about the project, that Charlamagne hasn't processed it yet.
"In the first week, first two weeks, it's gonna take time for people to process things. Because you still stuck on Pusha T, and there are people in this generation now that's kind of like not making this music," Coi added "No disrespect. I love y'all but I call 'em dinosaurs. When you actually look at the history of a dinosaur, they have so many great things about them, right?... but there so [extinct] and so not here anymore and you have to really dig deep to find a fossil."
