"Big Purr (Prrdd)" (stylized as "BIG PURR (Prrdd)") is a song by American rapper Coi Leray featuring American rapper Pooh Shiesty, released on March 26, 2021 by Republic Records. The song was produced by Kid Hazel and Peter Gundry.[1][2] On April 26, 2021, Leray confirmed that there will be a remix of the song featuring hip hop duo City Girls.[3]

Background[]

Coi Leray first previewed the song on February 19, 2021, in a TikTok video of her dancing and singing along to it.[4] She later teased the song with a video on YouTube,[5] before releasing it on March 26.

Controversy[]

In March 2021, rapper Rolling Ray accused Coi Leray of stealing his phrase "purr" and turning it into a song.[6] After they argued over who made the word "purr" popular, Leray denied the accusations responding, "First of all, I'm not big 'purr.' It's not 'purr.' I'm big 'prrr.' It's a difference. Stop playin' with me. "[2] Rolling Ray later released his own version of "Big Purr", as a diss track towards Leray, to which she threatened legal action.[7] Ray also joined Leray's father Benzino, a rapper who is feuding with Leray, on Instagram Live to taunt her.[8]

Music video[]

The music video was released on April 30, 2021, and directed by Reel Goats.[9] It features Coi Leray wearing a leather ensemble while fighting Pooh Shiesty's crew in a warehouse.[10][11] Shiesty counts his money and strokes his diamond until Leray faces him. The video then ends with a cliffhanger.[10]
