Edge Martinez in Real Life podcast. This episode and conversation
is powered by I Do Say What's up? Everybody? We
are back. It is another edition of the Edge Martinez
IRL podcast Takeaway episode. We are talking about Corey Larray today.
First of all, shout out to Cooy. How cute is
she is? She like, not gorgeous, Oh my gosh. And
(00:22):
through the camera she's like flawless. But in person it's
like even I don't know how she's real. It's like
porcelain baby skin and just the whole thing. This the
whole thing. I saw that a lot in the comments,
how britty she looked and how gorgeous she was. But
we had fun with her. Her energy was great. You know,
sometimes guests come and they're like nervous and weird. Not weird,
but a little nervous, a little skeptical. Sometimes people are
(00:44):
quiet and it takes a minute for them to open up.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Coy was like, Hi, I'm ready. She was also happy
to be there, like it was I love that.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
That makes me happy. Yeah, and her crew was cool.
Everybody was in good vibes. It was just it was
a good day. But yeah, I was excited to have her.
I really hadn't. We've known each other, but I haven't
really spend any time with her. I gotten to know her.
She's always been lovely and I just love how she's
managing her career. To me, like she stands out in
the bunch. She doesn't blend and I could just see
(01:14):
how serious she is about her career, if that makes sense.
It's funny because we interviewed her before Beyonce sent the flowers.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Oh yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Beyonce center flowers on Instagram and told her how talented
she was and how I don't want to I do
not want to misquote Queen Bee.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Beyonce's message said, I'm a fan of yours and I
love watching you grow.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
You're a very talented young lady.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Love Beyonce.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
I mean, how great is Beyonce? That would be for
another takeaway. We could just do a how great is
Beyonce takeawayisode? Yeah, but I think what Beyonce sees in her,
we all kind of see in her, like she's super talented,
she's driven, she works hard, and she reinforced that in
this conversation about how driven she was. She has been
on her own since she's fifteen years old. Fifteen or
(01:59):
sixteen her she quit school to get to the bag
to get a job. She found a job as a telemarketer,
which if any of you out there have done telemarketing,
you know how dreadful that could be. You have to
be a salesperson. You have to be committed and willing
to sell. Have you ever done anything like that?
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Yes, in college.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
So to clarify, Koy didn't just quit any school. She's
quit high school. Y.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
No, No, she wasn't.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
There's a big difference between quitting college and I think
quitting high school, like your your idea of like where
you're headed has.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
To be way more clear at that young of age.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
But anyways, but I think she was just trying to
get money.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Yes, absolutely, absolutely, she was trying to care for herself
and her family. She was like, Mom, we'll play that
clip now, of course, yeah, play that.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
After we done got evicted and went through our whole situation.
It's like reality is kicking in, like maybe it's life
or death, Like what are you gonna do? You're going
to have to separate from the pack a little bit
to go to survive, Like, I don't know, I've always
been like that and in school I was never into Like,
I was very smart, but I did not like school.
(03:09):
So I asked my mother, like, YO, just sign me out.
I have to work.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
She's so like, could you imagine her at that age
to be that had that type of conviction and that
type of because me at sixteen, I barely was like
do I want to go to the hairhole court?
Speaker 3 (03:23):
So?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Do I want to go to the pizzeria? Like I
don't know that I was thinking, and we didn't have
read We was in a tiny, little one bedroom apartment,
but my mother was working, and I don't know, for
some reason, I didn't have that like I would have
been terrified to go out of my own at that age.
But she saw it and then so she took this
job and was killing it and she's killing it. This
(03:45):
is how I know she is a born hustler. And
I know there was some controversy about some of the
things she said about her dad in this podcast, which
were very minimal, but one of the things she did
credit him for was her hustler spirit. Absolutely, she says,
she you know, and I saw it in her too.
I'm like, she gets that from her dad, and she
clearly is a hustler. And here's her hustling What was
she hustling? Google and ads?
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:06):
How old when you're selling these Google.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Things seventeen sixteen?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Oh yeah. They didn't even know who's behind the phone.
I'm like, Hi, I'm quick Colin Tommy My speaking to
John the business owner. He's like, who's calling? I'm like, hey, John,
are you the owner of X y Z business? He's
like yeah. I'm like okay, it says that your hours
of operations haven't been updated? Are you do you know
your hours of operations? Do you have any do you
(04:32):
know what? He's like, Yeah, we're open from twelve to three.
What do you mean. I'm like, we'll hop on Google
right now. I'm like, ninety percent of the users in
the world are using iPhones and Apple Like they're trying
to get to your business, y'all. I was knocking them crazy.
I was taking at least like at sixteen thirteen hundred
every Friday. Wow. Yeah, yeah, it was crazy. So that's
what made me sign on.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
How they hire you so young?
Speaker 4 (04:53):
It was under the table and it was like this
little office. I don't even think they exist anymore.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
I feel like I might have bought something from her.
I feel like that.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
I feel she might have got me. She saw me
and she was like, pull up Google right now. I'm like, dang,
you can't even argue with her. The proof is right there.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yeah, sure, you're gonna fix it for me. Go ahead,
here's my six hundred dollars spoiler ray, you got it.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
A thing that made me sad in this episode from
her because one of the things I was always intrigued
about her by is the way, like, you know, people
talk about her body and she's too little and she's
too scarny, and people were really hard on her at
the beginning of her career about how she wrapped and
how she sounded, and she does have this confidence where
she's like, I'm a baddy, I don't care what you say,
what your opinion is of me, and she credits her
(05:39):
mother for that. Let's play that clip real quick.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
I love that clip.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
What is that?
Speaker 4 (05:43):
How do you have that my mom would be the
one to like all them Brittany's mom. I ishing all
them thembid antet. All of them will go out, they
go out, they fly like he was boots, and my
mom would still have on like her Adidas hood jeans,
and I'm like, yo, why are you not dressing them?
Like you're looking different, like you look like the outcaves.
(06:06):
Like you're not letting me, like you don't want to
put no boots on? And we got no leather boots,
don't you. You got a hell of leather boots. Why
are you not wearing them? And she like, my mother
would shut me down, girl war would I want to
wear a girl? Please? I look good. I'm to think
about it. I'll go and take somebody like she would
just ship on me and I'll be like, oh, okay,
(06:26):
well Piero is and if you want wear Adidas and
surety rock them, dude, whatever you gotta do. She want
a sweatsuit. She never was the type to do too much.
My mom never wore makeup, she never wore weeds.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
But she felt fly.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
She felt like, yeah, had confidence of her fucking she
was the best. She was the best, the best. Tell
she was a baddie. Yeah. So I feel like I
got that from her, for sure.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I love that. And I love her mother. I don't
know her mother, but I love that. I love a
woman raising her daughter to have that type of confidence.
And I always say this about parenting. It's not always
what we tell our kids, it's what we show our kids.
And so her mother living her life that way and
having that type of confidence clearly like resonated with Coy
and clearly has stuck with her over these years. But
(07:07):
even with that type of confidence, I did think it
was very telling how she talked about, Yeah, she have
all the confidence in the world. But then she becomes
kind of famous, and now she's on Instagram, and now
she's on social media, and social social media, as we
all know, is a cesspool moments.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
And also, not all opinions are right opinions.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Someone very wise said this to us the other day
that opinions are like little darts and they keep throwing
them at you, and eventually those darts, those little pins,
they start to add up and they cause wounds, no
no matter if they're true or not. So just be
mindful of the stuff that you're putting out on the internet,
because I really.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Hate the Internet. Listen, there's some lovely things that happened.
I've connected with so many of you, and there's been
this like even the IRL community that we built, it's
been on social online and I love that for us.
I wish I could protect us all. I wish I
could create a social media like a like a group
within the group, a close friend.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
How came we through that? Because like, there's so many
like minded people that just want information, want to get
to know that people better, want to be inspired by people.
And then you have other forces outside who are not
interested in the same thing, that are just interested in
a negative take or a negative perspective, and it really
ruins the experience. I'm trying to not let it ruin
it for me, you know what I mean. I'm trying
(08:27):
to not let that uh, you know, because it's very
Because I had two things happened this week. Another one
with Thames.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Oh yes you're Tames interview.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
So I said, by the way, I love Thames. I
even loved her more afterimating her. I loved her, love
her music. I didn't know her. I interviewed her, not
on the podcast, I interviewed her from my radio show,
and I was asking her about the level of fame
and how that is when you go back home, so
when you're in your hometown. And I talk about this
with artists sometimes because I am interested in the way
people manage fame. Fame is a tricky are weird universe
(09:01):
that I'm always interested in how people navigate that. So
I asked Tams, like, when you go home, you know,
are you can you move around freely?
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Are you?
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Are you like you can't go anywhere? You're too famous,
you can't go. I basically was asking her if she
couldn't go anywhere, and I said, so this like you
can't go to the supermarket in your hometown or I
basically said, so, no supermarket in your hometown and she
was like, well, you know, I like to cook. So
I tried about anyway we're talking. All of a sudden,
my twitters are filled with what do you mean there's
no supermarkets in her hometown? And so then I have
(09:35):
this whole pocket of people from Nigeria who misunderstood because
somebody put a clip up that was misleading.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
It is not.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
I didn't say there were no supermarkets in Nigeria. That
would be in the whole country. That would be absolutely ridiculous.
And the funny thing is the interesting thing is I
have if you look at you know how, in your
social media followers, you could see where your most followers are. Ye,
for me, it's the United States, Nigeria is second.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
So my people are there. You know what, It really
bother me because I'm like, I don't want my people
to feel like, yeah, I would say something that's stupid.
But then there was like a whole conversation about O,
well she must not travel anywhere, what does she think
of us? And what it just I'm on the Twitter,
I'm looking at these things. I'm like, should I start
arguing with everybody and explain that this is I did
(10:20):
lose it and I replied to one very respectfully. I
was like, hey, you're misunderstanding. What I was saying was
she can't go to a supermarket because of her fame,
not because there's no supermarkets in nine years. Anyway. This
is a small thing. But my point is the sea
the world that is the social media. Sometimes it makes
sharing challenging. I don't know what my point of telling
(10:43):
this story is, but my point is.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
That watch the whole interview, listen to the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
YE don't know my jumps. Don't always just jump to conclusions.
The social media it's getting worse by the day too.
I feel like, so just be really careful what you consume,
how you let things affect you because things are cut
on purpose to make your react a certain way. And
sometimes the story is bigger, you know, sometimes it's not
that simple. And I'm just seeing that a lot now
(11:08):
and now with AI come in, I feel like we're
gonna see that even more. Just be mindful of what
people are feeding you in your timeline and stuff like that.
But what was interesting is Croy talked about when she
got famous, how that was it really messed with her confidence.
So a girl, this confident that learned that from her
mother said until she was famous that she never doubted
(11:28):
those things, and then all of a sudden she did.
You should play that clip.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
I always been shouting myself in confident, but until I
got famous in the internet became That's when I, like
for once, questioned who the fuck I wasn't what I
was doing? Like are you really good enough? Do you
really sound good? Are you too skinny?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Like?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Is your teeth too big?
Speaker 1 (11:53):
You know?
Speaker 4 (11:53):
When I came in, I and have brazis I had
an overbite, then I got braces. You know, do you
look like a dyke?
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Do you like a boy?
Speaker 4 (12:00):
I can't say dike. Sorry, That's why it runs. Are
gay and it's gay price. Sorry, this is what me
talking like, yeah but you yeah, but that's what they
tell me. They say, Yo, you look like a study,
like a boy.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
You know.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
There's this like whole conspiracy theory on YouTube saying like yo,
Coy is a whole man, Like yeah, I'm like, yo,
what like this pussy good?
Speaker 1 (12:28):
I love that clip. Even though she says she got insecure,
she does say that she has a fatty and that
she and that she's fly what she is, she's a
little batty. So anyway, overall, I loved Cooy. I wish
her well. I know these these these uh.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
I hope that people can look at Koy and at
her age and that all the things that she's been
through and can relate to her to how to have
like fulfilled confidence too, to still like be pushing through
no matter people's perception. And also a lesson about keeping
people close to you who are positive influences. She talks
(13:07):
about like her makeup artist and her manager, like everybody
is a close team and they help to keep her,
you know, grounded, and that's such an important thing in life,
and especially for somebody like her who's in the public eye.
So build that support team of people around you, who
who you know like you trust their opinions.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
And when I say things or we say things like
we're rooting for this person, it's because it's a jungle
out here. It's hard. It's hard for anyone to navigate
through life, right, and then when you're navigating life at amplified,
you know level where every single person has an opinion
about you and there's just information and noise being thrown
at you at all the time, it could be challenging
(13:49):
for any of us. But the way she's navigating she
seems to be okay. We definitely are rooting for her.
She's super talented. She has a lot of ambition. That's
one thing about this girl. She wants to be an eye,
She want to be an icon. The ambition is oozing off,
like it's bouncing off for her.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
She almost can't contain it.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
She can't contain it. Well, I hope that ambition spreads.
Maybe you might feel a little motivated by their ambition.
I definitely did for sure. So yeah, so thank you

how she sounded, and she does have this confidence where
she's like, I'm a baddy, I don't care what you say,
what your opinion is of me, and she credits her
(05:39):
mother for that. Let's play that clip real quick.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
I love that clip.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
What is that?
Speaker 4 (05:43):
How do you have that my mom would be the
one to like all them Brittany's mom. I ishing all
them thembid antet. All of them will go out, they
go out, they fly like he was boots, and my
mom would still have on like her Adidas hood jeans,
and I'm like, yo, why are you not dressing them?
Like you're looking different, like you look like the outcaves.
(06:06):
Like you're not letting me, like you don't want to
put no boots on? And we got no leather boots,
don't you. You got a hell of leather boots. Why
are you not wearing them? And she like, my mother
would shut me down, girl war would I want to
wear a girl? Please? I look good. I'm to think
about it. I'll go and take somebody like she would
just ship on me and I'll be like, oh, okay,
(06:26):
well Piero is and if you want wear Adidas and
surety rock them, dude, whatever you gotta do. She want
a sweatsuit. She never was the type to do too much.
My mom never wore makeup, she never wore weeds.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
But she felt fly.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
She felt like, yeah, had confidence of her fucking she
was the best. She was the best, the best. Tell
she was a baddie. Yeah. So I feel like I
got that from her, for sure.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I love that. And I love her mother. I don't
know her mother, but I love that. I love a
woman raising her daughter to have that type of confidence.
And I always say this about parenting. It's not always
what we tell our kids, it's what we show our kids.
And so her mother living her life that way and
having that type of confidence clearly like resonated with Coy
and clearly has stuck with her over these years. But
(07:07):
even with that type of confidence, I did think it
was very telling how she talked about, Yeah, she have
all the confidence in the world. But then she becomes
kind of famous, and now she's on Instagram, and now
she's on social media, and social social media, as we
all know, is a cesspool moments.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
And also, not all opinions are right opinions.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Someone very wise said this to us the other day
that opinions are like little darts and they keep throwing
them at you, and eventually those darts, those little pins,
they start to add up and they cause wounds, no
no matter if they're true or not. So just be
mindful of the stuff that you're putting out on the internet,
because I really.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Hate the Internet. Listen, there's some lovely things that happened.
I've connected with so many of you, and there's been
this like even the IRL community that we built, it's
been on social online and I love that for us.
I wish I could protect us all. I wish I
could create a social media like a like a group
within the group, a close friend.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
How came we through that? Because like, there's so many
like minded people that just want information, want to get
to know that people better, want to be inspired by people.
And then you have other forces outside who are not
interested in the same thing, that are just interested in
a negative take or a negative perspective, and it really
ruins the experience. I'm trying to not let it ruin
it for me, you know what I mean. I'm trying
(08:27):
to not let that uh, you know, because it's very
Because I had two things happened this week. Another one
with Thames.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Oh yes you're Tames interview.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
So I said, by the way, I love Thames. I
even loved her more afterimating her. I loved her, love
her music. I didn't know her. I interviewed her, not
on the podcast, I interviewed her from my radio show,
and I was asking her about the level of fame
and how that is when you go back home, so
when you're in your hometown. And I talk about this
with artists sometimes because I am interested in the way
people manage fame. Fame is a tricky are weird universe
(09:01):
that I'm always interested in how people navigate that. So
I asked Tams, like, when you go home, you know,
are you can you move around freely?
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Are you?
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Are you like you can't go anywhere? You're too famous,
you can't go. I basically was asking her if she
couldn't go anywhere, and I said, so this like you
can't go to the supermarket in your hometown or I
basically said, so, no supermarket in your hometown and she
was like, well, you know, I like to cook. So
I tried about anyway we're talking. All of a sudden,
my twitters are filled with what do you mean there's
no supermarkets in her hometown? And so then I have
(09:35):
this whole pocket of people from Nigeria who misunderstood because
somebody put a clip up that was misleading.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
It is not.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
I didn't say there were no supermarkets in Nigeria. That
would be in the whole country. That would be absolutely ridiculous.
And the funny thing is the interesting thing is I
have if you look at you know how, in your
social media followers, you could see where your most followers are. Ye,
for me, it's the United States, Nigeria is second.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
So my people are there. You know what, It really
bother me because I'm like, I don't want my people
to feel like, yeah, I would say something that's stupid.
But then there was like a whole conversation about O,
well she must not travel anywhere, what does she think
of us? And what it just I'm on the Twitter,
I'm looking at these things. I'm like, should I start
arguing with everybody and explain that this is I did
(10:20):
lose it and I replied to one very respectfully. I
was like, hey, you're misunderstanding. What I was saying was
she can't go to a supermarket because of her fame,
not because there's no supermarkets in nine years. Anyway. This
is a small thing. But my point is the sea
the world that is the social media. Sometimes it makes
sharing challenging. I don't know what my point of telling
(10:43):
this story is, but my point is.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
That watch the whole interview, listen to the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
YE don't know my jumps. Don't always just jump to conclusions.
The social media it's getting worse by the day too.
I feel like, so just be really careful what you consume,
how you let things affect you because things are cut
on purpose to make your react a certain way. And
sometimes the story is bigger, you know, sometimes it's not
that simple. And I'm just seeing that a lot now
(11:08):
and now with AI come in, I feel like we're
gonna see that even more. Just be mindful of what
people are feeding you in your timeline and stuff like that.
But what was interesting is Croy talked about when she
got famous, how that was it really messed with her confidence.
So a girl, this confident that learned that from her
mother said until she was famous that she never doubted
(11:28):
those things, and then all of a sudden she did.
You should play that clip.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
I always been shouting myself in confident, but until I
got famous in the internet became That's when I, like
for once, questioned who the fuck I wasn't what I
was doing? Like are you really good enough? Do you
really sound good? Are you too skinny?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Like?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Is your teeth too big?
Speaker 1 (11:53):
You know?
Speaker 4 (11:53):
When I came in, I and have brazis I had
an overbite, then I got braces. You know, do you
look like a dyke?
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Do you like a boy?
Speaker 4 (12:00):
I can't say dike. Sorry, That's why it runs. Are
gay and it's gay price. Sorry, this is what me
talking like, yeah but you yeah, but that's what they
tell me. They say, Yo, you look like a study,
like a boy.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
You know.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
There's this like whole conspiracy theory on YouTube saying like yo,
Coy is a whole man, Like yeah, I'm like, yo,
what like this pussy good?
Speaker 1 (12:28):
I love that clip. Even though she says she got insecure,
she does say that she has a fatty and that
she and that she's fly what she is, she's a
little batty. So anyway, overall, I loved Cooy. I wish
her well. I know these these these uh.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
I hope that people can look at Koy and at
her age and that all the things that she's been
through and can relate to her to how to have
like fulfilled confidence too, to still like be pushing through
no matter people's perception. And also a lesson about keeping
people close to you who are positive influences. She talks
(13:07):
about like her makeup artist and her manager, like everybody
is a close team and they help to keep her,
you know, grounded, and that's such an important thing in life,
and especially for somebody like her who's in the public eye.
So build that support team of people around you, who
who you know like you trust their opinions.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
And when I say things or we say things like
we're rooting for this person, it's because it's a jungle
out here. It's hard. It's hard for anyone to navigate
through life, right, and then when you're navigating life at amplified,
you know level where every single person has an opinion
about you and there's just information and noise being thrown
at you at all the time, it could be challenging
(13:49):
for any of us. But the way she's navigating she
seems to be okay. We definitely are rooting for her.
She's super talented. She has a lot of ambition. That's
one thing about this girl. She wants to be an eye,
She want to be an icon. The ambition is oozing off,
like it's bouncing off for her.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
She almost can't contain it.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
She can't contain it. Well, I hope that ambition spreads.
Maybe you might feel a little motivated by their ambition.
I definitely did for sure. So yeah, so thank you
