Coi Leray aired out her frustrations with Billy Jones of 1801 Records on Instagram for allegedly "trying to take over my life and ruin my career."
"Okay so I will be going live today to explain how this guy has been trying to take over my life and ruin my career," Coi wrote in the caption of an Instagram post featuring a screenshot of Billy J's account. "There's nothing in this life I want more than this guy right here to leave me alone. He has done NOTHING for my career and has been trying to take from me for the past 5 years."

Leray provided her account of what she claimed has happened since she signed "the worst production deal with 1801" five years ago. The rapper alleged she was "finessed" by the label when she was given access to their lawyer, who "didn’t read me the correct terms."
"I’m so depressed with these people on my back and I will never drop another record in my life until I fight every bone in my body for this man right here to just leave me alone," she wrote.
Coi said she would explain the situation even further at a later time.
She also mentioned fellow 1801 Records head Karriem "K-Mack" Mack is willing to "part ways gracefully," but Billy J is refusing to do so.
"KMACK DOESNT EVEN WORK WITH 1801 anymore and wants nothing to do with Billy J, the only person making this shit hard is Billy J it’s crazy how sick people can be," she wrote.
Journee, who was also signed to 1801, responded to Leray's post, sympathizing with her situation while confirming she went through a similar ordeal with a "controlling" Billy J.
"Girllll i went thru the SAME THING with them," she wrote. "Billy is so controlling! It’s crazy bc you were one of the selling points that sold me when signing with them. It was a nightmare tryna get out of this deal. After years of fighting them, I’m finally free. I feel your pain."
Billy J has not addressed Coi's claims.
