In February 2022,Leray's father,fellow American rapper Benzino,revealed that his daughter had a collaboration with Minaj,who then denied having worked with any artist recently. [4] However,Benzino later apologized for announcing the joint effort. [5] On March 14,2022,Minaj revealed through a Q&A session on Twitter with her fans that she pulled her verse from "Blick Blick" due to Benzino previously announcing the team-up,but stated that she had a private conversation with Leray,in which she sympathized with her and decided to keep it on the song;the two artists announced the song the same day. [6] On March 23,2022,Minaj also praised Leray for her confidence on social media and Leray praised Minaj in return. [7] Since then,it appears as if the two have cut ties and no longer associate with each other;as Minaj unfollowed Leray on social media in September 2022.
On "Blick Blick",Leray and Minaj confidently rap about their sexual activity and boast about their lavish lifestyles,while taking shots at their opponents. [8] The "electric" song sees Leray using onomatopoeias in the chorus and the second half of her verse and Minaj name-drop DMX and Jeff Bezos,as well as give Leray a co-sign. [9]
The official music video for "Blick Blick" premiered on Leray's YouTube channel thirteen hours after the release of the song on March 18,2022. [10] Sporting 1990s-inspired outfits,Leray performs choreographed dances until Minaj joins her for what she had previously described as the "verse of the year" and the two artists then sport pink wigs and shoot at their opponents.
