Rolling Ray accuses Coi Leray of stealing his 'prrr', Internet trolls them for arguing over 'noise from a cat'

Ray, who has been purring his way through social media for a while now noticed that Coi Leray often likes to use the word on her own tracks and called her out on Instagram

Music artiste and social media star Rolling Ray, who was in the hospital in January after accidentally being set on fire, is trending again for all but a "purr". The great debate over who was the first to say "purr-prrr" puzzled the public on Wednesday, March 24. 

A beef brewed over the sound "prrr" that confused rap fans across Twitter. Social media influencers and artistes often attempt to coin their own terms and phrases, not only to stand out from the crowd but also in order to hopefully create a new "it" word that can then take the world by storm. Currently, it looks as though rapper Coi Leray and social media figure Rolling Ray are haing a bit of a tiff over who was the first to make "prrr" popular.
