Coi Leray's BET Awards Performance Outfit Features the Names of Iconic Women Rappers

Missy Elliott, Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion were among the list of artists the “Players” rapper honored with her ensemble

Coi Leray paid homage to the women in rap who paved the way for her success — and to those she shares the stage with today.

At the 2023 BET Awards, the 26-year-old rapper hit the stage during Busta Rhymes’ — who was being honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award — performance to rap her song “Players,” which she remixed with the “Break Ya Neck” rapper, 51, in March.

Leray's outfit was covered with the names of female rappers old and new. The black-and-white ensemble consisted of three pieces — pants and a matching cropped jacket covered in names, as well as a bedazzled bandeau layered underneath.

The “TWINNEM” rapper’s name was front and center — and bedazzled — and the rest of her outfit was covered with the names of female rappers including Missy Elliott, Doja Cat and Young M.A., and hip-hop groups like Salt-N-Pepa and City Girls.

Leray also sported the names of her fellow nominees for best female hip-hop artist: Nicki Minaj, Megan Thee Stallion, Cardi B, GloRilla, Ice Spice and Latto, who won the category.

The star took to Instagram to congratulate Busta Rhymes and share some more details about her BET Awards ‘fit.
