Coi Leray: I'm Tired Of Being Manipulated... This Life Is Draining

The Shade Room captured a screenshot of a message Coi Leray shared on her Instagram Story. In the post, she suggested unnamed individuals are not giving her the proper credit for her creativity.

I’m tired of thinking for everybody! I’m tired of people taking the credit for my ideas. Tired of being manipulated. Tired of fighting for my life. Tired of [people’s] opinions, I’m tired of people holding s### against me, I’m tired of people looking for sympathy when they just don’t get the job done so they find reasons to make you feel bad: s### is sad [for real] this industry is sad [for real]. Tired. I’m just tired. This life is draining. I’m so hungry and motivated. Any label would love to have an artist like me. Sad man. Sad. It’s really a Mental sacrifice.
