Eminem was very supportive of the Lions&rsquo; playoff run. He released a promo video directed toward Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford before the Wildcard game and was on the sidelines celebrating last week as the Lions beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31-23 in the Divisional rounds. Eminem went viral during Sunday&rsquo;s game after giving 49ers fans the middle finger from his arena suite while attending the game in San Fransico.&nbsp;

In other Eminem news, longtime nemesis Benzino previewed a response track to Eminem&rsquo;s recent diss on the new Lyrical Lemonade album on Sunday called &ldquo;<a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/benzino-shares-a-clip-from-godfather-3-in-response-to-eminem-diss">Godfather 3</a>.&rdquo; Promising a response in 24 hours, Benzino plans to respond to the lines directed at him on Eminem&rsquo;s &ldquo;Doomsday Pt. 2,&rdquo; where the beef between the two is reignited when Em raps, &ldquo;Now I got a riddle, one condition, you mustn&rsquo;t laugh/ What is the opposite of Benzino? A giraffe/ &lsquo;Go at his neck,&rsquo; how the fuck is that?/ How can I go at somethin&rsquo; he doesn&rsquo;t have?"
Eminem also mentioned Benzino&rsquo;s daughter, <a href="https://www.hot97.com/hot-news/coi-leray-seemingly-responds-to-eminem-dissing-her-and-benzino-on-new-single">Coi Leray</a>, on the track, but she said she is focusing on her new era and will not entertain an argument between two grown men. Leray would also chime in on the Eminem feature line in &ldquo;Doomsday Pt.2&rdquo; on X as she promoted her new single &ldquo;Wanna Come Thru,&rdquo; with the following tweet:
&ldquo;Man who the hell said I wanted a Eminem feature ??. Imagine Eminem on Wanna Come thru?&rdquo;
Last November, Leray shared <a href="https://www.hot97.com/hot-news/coi-leray-says-she-will-never-mention-benzino-again">she would never mention Benzino&rsquo;s name again</a>.

Coi Leray At Hip Hop 50

On Thursday (Jan. 25), <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/coi-leray-seemingly-claps-back-after-latto-name-dropped-her-father-beinzo-in">Coi Leray</a> announced she's leaving Republic Records for Island Records. In celebration of the new deal, the 26-year-old rap star released her first single on the new label, &ldquo;Wanna Come Thru.&rdquo;
&nbsp;
https://youtu.be/zrRVdpq68bI?si=ou8hFGFiVAr2Z1TX
&nbsp;
Leray takes her sound into a new direction with her new track produced by Mike Will-Made-It ("23"). &ldquo;It&rsquo;s a culture-shifting record,&rdquo; Mike <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/coi-leray-mike-will-made-it-wanna-come-thru-1235589543/">told Billboard</a>. &ldquo;The song is just fresh and forward-pushing. What I love about it is it sounds simple and easy to digest and instantly puts you in a mood. It&rsquo;s the best feeling ever to be able to create a song that makes the listener feel good. This is hit No. 1 fasho, we have plenty more on the way. The Ear Drummer/Trendsetter Way.&rdquo;
&ldquo;This song is about me on my grown and sexy,&rdquo; Leray <a href="https://variety.com/2024/music/news/coi-leray-signs-island-records-new-single-wanna-come-thru-1235887389/">told Variety</a>. &ldquo;Grown and sexy means being so in love with yourself &mdash; that it is one of the most sexiest, maturest, grownest things that a woman can do. As you get older and you tap into your womanhood and your femininity and I feel like you should embrace that. It&rsquo;s feeling good for yourself; looking in the mirror and just loving yourself. 2024 is going to be my grown and sexy era. I&rsquo;m taking over this year. I&rsquo;ve got so much new music and a whole new side of me to get to know.&rdquo;
<a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/coi-leray-says-she-will-never-mention-benzino-again">Coi Leray</a> signed her first deal with Republic Record in 2019. They released two albums together with Trendsetter (2022) and Coi (2023) and hit songs &ldquo;No More Parties&rdquo; and &ldquo;Blick Blick.&rdquo;
With her new deal and track, Leray enters arguably her best year yet. Set to perform at this year&rsquo;s <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/tyler-creator-doja-cat-headline-coachella-2024">Coachella</a>, she adds &ldquo;Grammy-nominated&rdquo; to her resume, as she is nominated for two Grammys: &ldquo;Players&rdquo; in Best Rap Performance and the David Gutta single &ldquo;Baby Don&rsquo;t Hurt Me&rdquo; in Best Pop Dance Recording.&nbsp;
Entering her &ldquo;Grown and Sexy&rdquo; era, Leray spoke with the Grammys about her first nominations displaying her versatility as an artist. She <a href="https://www.grammy.com/news/coi-leray-players-interview-video-2024-grammys-meet-first-time-nominee">told journalist Taylor Crumpton</a>: &ldquo;One of the biggest things and accomplishments for me as a artist is for people to know me and admire my versatility. To be nominated for two of my voices &mdash; my melodic, my rap, my singing &mdash; it's a dream come true. I wouldn't want it no other way."&nbsp;
Coi Leray sat down with Hot 97&rsquo;s Nessa last April to discuss performing at last year&rsquo;s Summer Jam and what to expect from her music. Watch the full interview below.&nbsp;

Coi Leray Calls Latto Out For Seemingly Body Shaming Her

IMG_5271

in a recent interview with <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/coi-leray-players-interview-1235205864/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Billboard</a>, Coi Leroy spoke about hearing Latto's version to "Blick Blick" when it was leaked online."I had no clue that she cut that record." the "Players" hitmaker started.She also explained why allowing other writers into her creative process doesn’t bother her. "Because I don’t have to do nothing I don’t want to do. I kinda look at it like a collab. It’s like if Gucci or Moncler wanted me on the cover wearing their stuff, and I like the stuff, then if I don’t like it, I don’t have to wear it. It’s the same thing with that song." Coi Leray said. "If you play me a song and I think I could kill that s**t. I’ma businesswoman — not only am I talented, I’m also about my business. If that s**t’s a smash and I’m like, 'All right cool, let’s do it,' I have the option to change whatever I want in the song. I have the options to tweak or do whatever. Once you give me the song, you can’t tell me what to do. You could give me advice and I’ma cut it."The New Jesery rapper continued, "Even when we did '<a href="https://www.hot97.com/hot-news/lil-kim-showed-coi-leray-and-nicki-minajs-new-song-blick-blick-some-love-online" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Blick Blick</a>,' the hook was already cut and we did the verse together. That’s why the verses sound different. I heard <a href="https://www.hot97.com/hot-news/lattos-big-energy-becomes-the-longest-charting-solo-female-rap-song-on-billboards-hot-100" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Latto’s</a> version and the verses sound different but the hook was there. A lot of great music hooks are written and I don’t know — it’s a formula. I’ve only been in the industry for four years, and now I’m at point where I feel like I’m breaking superstar status and I’m learning that formula. I’m gonna be at a point where I’m making those f**king songs for the biggest of the biggest just off the simple fact I learned the formula. I didn’t learn it on my own, I had to be in the studio with these other amazing creatives to be like, 'Alright, this is how this works.'"She added, "But if you put me in the studio with any one of these b**ches, I swear they’re not seeing me in any way. They’re not coming out with no hit. And I say that in the most humblest, friendliest, loving, and friendly competition way."

Although Jersey Club music has been the soundtrack to many of New Jerseyan's lives for decades- it seems as if the rest of the world is just catching on.From sexy walking to rocking our hips- the Jersey Club music movement has always been a way to bring the dancers, DJs, producers, athletes and everyone in between together. Many people believe that Jersey Club music became popular this year with the help of mainstream artists such as Drake, Beyonce, and Lil Uzi but according to Newark, NJ native, rapper Unicorn151- those artists simply "brought more excitement to the Jersey club movement." He explains, "I gave Drake's 'Honestly, Nevermind' album a listen, and I actually f*cked with the overall feel of the album, felt fun and dancey, felt exactly like what I’ve been working on. My first reaction was.. 'THIS IS GREAT FOR THE JERSEY CLUB CULTURE.'" Kherk went on to say he hopes mainstream artists gives "us the recognition we deserve."HOT 97's DJ Drewski says he is excited to see the growth of the Jersey Club genre. "Being from Jersey and growing up on Jersey club music it’s an exciting time to see it finally get the recognition it deserves. It has always been that underground genre of music that I felt people ignored for a long time." He continues, "I always knew it would take a little longer for people to understand the unique sounds and dances of Jersey Club, but now that people are paying attention, I just hope it doesn’t lose its identity. I would love for people to understand where it originated and give credit to the artist, DJs, dancers and producers who have been carrying it on their backs for a long time."https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cl-6zsxj0_H/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkSimilarly, to Unicorn151, Drewski too hopes mainstream artist gives credit where credit is deserved. "It’s great to see mainstream artist jumping on Jersey club beats and doing their own rendition to the sound because it will definitely open more doors for Jersey Club artist. Young DJ Drewski who couldn’t wait for the Jersey Club set at the teen party, is excited to see how far it has come and where it will go next."Speaking of going far, MCVertt, a 19-year-old producer from Newark, NJ is responsible for the current must trending song on TikTok, Lil Uzi's 'Just Wanna Rock.' The viral hit features a catchy Jersey Club beat. <a href="https://www.complex.com/music/lil-uzi-vert-just-wanna-rock-jersey-club-tiktok" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MCVertt says</a> after DMing Uzi for a while- Uzi responded and invited him to the studio.

"We worked overtime to get it to where we are now, I appreciate everyone that been supporting the movement and anyone that’s new to the sound. Jersey Club will be here for a long time" expressed DJ Lil Taj.Take a look at a sneak peek below.https://www.instagram.com/reel/CmrZsrNhDB2/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkIt's safe to say that the Jersey Club movement will be here for years to come- it best to just get used to it.
