Coi Leray thinks she knows who is instigating these beefs.

Coi Leray says she thinks music labels are running fan pages that instigate drama between female hip-hop artists on social media. She explained on Twitter that she can't understand why else so many artists would be feuding, despite not even being from the same region. Leray also asked whether it's the same for artists in other genres.

"Idk if you ask me it seem like these labels are behind the female controversy. They see it helps push the music, I wouldn’t be surprised if they the ones behind the fan pages," she wrote in one post. "Most of these female rappers not even from the same places !!!! Not from the same hoods….why are we beefing?" From there, Leray asked: "Do female pop stars have just as much beef as the female rappers?" When one fan put forth the idea of Katy Perry and Lady Gaga beefing, Leray responded: "I can’t. I just can’t."

Despite the innumerable amount of feuds going on in hip-hop right now, Leray recently told Forbes that she's focused on becoming the best version of herself she can be. “I have great intentions,” she told the outlet in March. “And I know that at the end of the day, if I just pushed myself to focus on becoming a better me whether it’s in my tone, my delivery, my attitude, my routine of waking up in the morning, waking up earlier, going to church every Sunday, writing in my journal, that’s how I got to this place now."
