1. She Stands Up to Trolls

Coi’s body has been the target of trolls in the past, but she doesn’t let them get away with it. “My body is always trending I don’t understand,” she recently started a series of tweets. “Is there a certain way I’m supposed to look?” She added: “In the Bible is it a Sin to be thin?” Her final note? “I hope all yall mothers got beach bodies.”

2. She Dances

Because dancing is key to Coi’s success, she spends a lot of time engaging in the cardio workout. Her Instagram video is filled with clips from rehearsals, performances, and music videos, all in which she is getting her move on.

3. She Eats Candy

Coi is also a big fan of sweet treats. Her go-to sugar fix? Gummies. In this video she chows down on the colorful candies. In one video for Cosmopolitan, she even unwraps a Starburst candy in her mouth.

4. She Is Open About Her Mental Health Struggles

Leray has addressed her struggles with anxiety and depression in interviews. In February, she tweeted two words, "brain dead," adding that she needed a break. “To all my trendsetters, I’m sorry I let you down. I don’t have it in me to keep pushing. I feel like I’m brain dead. I pray that everyone continues to keep setting trends and striving. Don’t know when I’ll be back but I don’t even want to think about it. I love you for life. -coi.” The tweet has since been deleted.

5. She Promotes Self-Love

“It feels like the internet — with all the kids and everyone’s opinions — paints a picture in people’s heads of how things are supposed to be. Understanding that is what helps me keep going because the internet is going to be the internet,” she recently said during an interview with Paper. “Who’s anyone to say someone is ugly? And I know we all call people ugly and stupid and stuff like that. We all say it. But who’s to really identify what ugly is? No one can really identify what is ugly unless it’s within your attitude and how you treat people. So to me it don’t matter how you look or who’s the cutest. Everyone’s beautiful. Helping young women understand that just by being myself and not having to do nothing more or nothing less or prove myself to anybody, shows them that all you have to do is love yourself.”

6. Health Is Her Top Priority

Coi believes that everyone should do what they want in regard to plastic surgery, as long as they take care of themselves. “Life is all about being comfortable and feeling good. So whatever makes you feel good, do that. My advice is just make sure you’re safe and healthy. Health is the number one priority before anything. Other than that, live your life,” she told Paper.

7. She Likes Sugary Drinks and Alcohol

Coi revealed everything on her rider to Paper. “I always have Casamigos, definitely Reposado and Blanco, just in case somebody doesn’t drink clear because not everyone likes clear,” she said. “I like cranberry juice, apple juice — Martinelli’s to be specific. We get Sprite, but they always bring grenadine, so we make Shirley Temples. Fruit, lighters, roll-ups, chargers, cream soda,” she said about the drinks and eats she needs before a show.
