What's Coi cooking up next: a music video, a promo shoot, or something else entirely?

With her second album COI arriving on June 23, Coi Leray is in heavy promo mode for her next moves. As such, she's probably very busy shooting visuals, taking press deals, and apparently debuting new looks like the one she just teased. Moreover, the rapper posted an Instagram Reel of her getting ready for what seems like a shoot, whether for a music video or something else entirely. Foregoing her usual long locks, she apparently rocked a short haircut with curls as her team put some hairspray on. Looking sultrily at the camera as her single "Bops" played in the background, she said that there are "good things coming" very soon.

Of course, this is far from the first time that she teased some sort of visual for that song in particular. Just last weekend, Coi Leray and a couple of her friends put on a twerk show for the camera while "Bops" played, yet it's unclear if it'll be a part of the music video or if she just built some hype. Regardless, the 26-year-old keeps leveling up and making waves that set the stage for her next moves. We're only a month away from COI's release, but we're sure that there will be much more to cover from her in that meantime.

Coi Leray's New Look

However, a lot of fans were left a little confused with the album's tracklist, which the Boston native revealed on Monday (May 22). Furthermore, a lot of that confusion stems from the features, which don't include the array of U.S. rappers and hitmakers that appeared on Coi Leray's debut album Trendsetter. Rather, COI will bring on David Guetta, Saucy Santana, Giggs, Lola Brooke, Skillibeng, and none other than James Brown, somehow. All this points to more genre diversity, but singles like "Players" and the teased "Make My Day" (with Guetta) hint towards heavy sample use, plus a more electronic and dance-inspired direction.

No matter what you think of these teases, it's clear that the "My Body" MC set herself up for a big splash. Whether she capitalized on the hype remains to be seen, but we're sure that she'll continue to make waves no matter what. Until then, we have to find out whether she debuts any other new looks to usher in another era in her career. For the latest news and updates on Coi Leray, stay up to date on HNHH.
