Coi Leray\u2019s dad is Benzino, a popular record producer, and rapper. He is also very famous as one of the co-founders of the foremost hip-hop magazine named The Source.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Benzino ran The Source magazine for several years but eventually left in 2006. That departure also coincided with the demise of his marriage to Leray\u2019s mom and this ultimately led to a fractured relationship with his daughter.<\/p>\n

Coi Leray is now a fast-rising act in the rap world and she and her dad are trying to navigate their shared hip hop heritage. It hasn\u2019t been easy though. Father and daughter have publicly beefed on social media with diss tracks and the likes. It however seems that they are now on the mend.<\/p>\n
