Coi Leray has publicly aired her grievances against her former record label head, stirring quite a storm in the music world.
Leray recently took to Instagram with a passionate post aimed at Billy Jones, known for his leadership at 1801 Records. She called out Jones for trying to ‘ruin her career’ and claimed he has contributed nothing positive to her journey over the past five years.
Reflecting on her deal with 1801 Records, she described it as the ‘worst production deal’ she ever signed. At 21, she trusted the label’s lawyer, but Leray now claims she was not adequately informed about the deal’s terms.
Despite her struggles, Leray praised Karriem “K-Mack” Mack, a former 1801 associate, for his willingness to part ways amicably. However, she accused Jones of clinging to her contract, making her process of breaking free much harder.
Journee, another artist associated with 1801 Records, resonated with Leray’s story. She commented on the post, highlighting similar challenges and described her experience as a nightmare.
Despite the conflict, Leray ended her post on a hopeful note, extending appreciation to industry supporters and music executives who reached out to her during this ordeal.
In response to Leray’s accusations, Jones shared a cryptic message on his Instagram Story, asking followers to read between the lines, presumably hinting at complexities not stated outright.
