Rapper singer and songwriter Coi Leray seemed to have a bad weekend after she failed to get the audience excited at her recent show in Houston. Getting no love from the crowd affected the 24-year-old emcee so much so that she took to Twitter to express her sadness. She posted a series of tweets where she spoke about how it all could be 'karma' to hate 'outweighing love'.

In one of her Instagram stories, Leray also mentioned how Travis Scott used to perform for a limited crowd five years ago before making it big in the industry hinting that she will make it big too someday. A lot of videos surfaced on Twitter where one could see the crowd just standing and not reacting to Leray’s performance on stage. However, things took a turn for good after the Queen of hip-hop, Nicki Minaj intervened with a beautiful tweet and asked her to chin up and charge it to the game and move on. A lot of social media users had slammed Leray for her show in Houston with some even saying 'she brought back the mannequin challenge'. Thanks to the motivation from Minaj, Leray quickly cheered up and also gave a shout-out to the former for saving her weekend.

Idk”, adding “Trying to understand but my brain so cloudy.” She did not stop there as she spoke about hate outweighing the love, “The love use to outweigh the hate but now the hate outweigh the love and it’s slowing destroying me.”

‘Charge it to the game and move on’

Looking at the series of tweets, Minaj decided to give the young rapper a little motivation. Replying to her tweet of hate outweighing love, she tweeted, “Don’t do that. Chin up. Always remember this, when black ppl not fkn w|you #TheyWillBoo. Those ppl were on their feet. That means they may not have known the song, but they were interested in getting to know more— so they were observing u. Charge it to the game & move on.”  Leray surely got the push she wanted as she quickly reverted, “Thank you so much for this. This means everything and more to me. Wow. I’m speechless. You just gave me so much more hope. Thank you again” adding in another tweet, “My weekend went from wtf to the best weekend ever. Thank you Nicki.”
