Background
Controversy
In March 2021, rapper Rolling Ray accused Coi Leray of stealing his phrase "purr" and turning it into a song.[6] After they argued over who made the word "purr" popular, Leray denied the accusations responding, "First of all, I'm not big 'purr.' It's not 'purr.' I'm big 'prrr.' It's a difference. Stop playin' with me."[2] Rolling Ray later released his own version of "Big Purr" as a diss track towards Leray, to which she threatened legal action.[7] Ray also joined Leray's father, fellow rapper Benzino who is feuding with his daughter, on Instagram Live to taunt her.[8] Rolling Ray expressed in an Instagram Live stream that "he was sick of gay artists having their ideas stolen, and he wanted to prevent the same situation from happening to 'Purr'".
Music video
The music video was released on April 30, 2021, and directed by Reel Goats.[9] It features Coi Leray wearing a leather ensemble while fighting Pooh Shiesty's crew in a warehouse.[10][11] Shiesty counts his money and strokes his diamond until Leray faces him. The video then ends with a cliffhanger.[10]
