Coi Leray fired back at her haters on Twitter, Wednesday, sharing a list of the top-streaming albums of 2023 so far on Spotify. Her latest project, COI, ranked eighth on the list, despite trolls making fun of its reported low sales figures.

"This why idgaf wat nun of y’all haten ass weirdos have to say about me," she wrote. "Fuck a validation! I ain’t NEVER gonna stop having fun with this shit. Ever. Thanks to all my supporters. Amazing albums." Despite the streams, fans still trolled Leray in response. One wrote: "Girl it has those streams because of david guetta and that tiktok hit."

When COI initially dropped, early reports suggested it only managed to earn 10,000 in album sales for its first week. Despite the rough figure, Leray remained positive on social media. “Grateful to have an album on the Top 200 for [the] first week of my album release, again,” she wrote on Twitter at the time. “This time with three hits on the Hot 100… Woah. I’m super proud of myself. Bigger and better year every time. Keep streaming #COI. It’s an AMAZING project."
