Aww, this is cute. As Coi Leray counts down to her 28th birthday on May 11, she’s also embracing an exciting new chapter: motherhood. The rapper and singer is preparing to welcome her first child with fellow artist Trippie Redd and recently opened up about the meaningful name she’s chosen for her baby girl.
Ftr, happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there.
In an exclusive conversation with The Shade Room, Coi revealed that her daughter will be named Miyoco—a name that carries both personal and symbolic significance. “It also kind of has me and her father’s name kind of tied together,” she explained. “‘Mi’ is the first part of Trippie Redd’s first name, Michael, and ‘Co’ is the first half of Coi’s name.” She also shared that the name was inspired by a friend’s sister and means “beautiful child.”
Reflecting on the moment she discovered she was pregnant, Coi described it as a powerful realization. “When I found out I was pregnant, I was feeling sick, and I missed my period… I took a pregnancy test, and I was like, Oh my God. — I was excited. I’m getting older now, and I think God’s time is always on time.”
With a baby on the way and a birthday just around the corner, Coi Leray is entering this new stage of life with joy and purpose, eager to welcome Miyoco into the world.
