MadameNoire was on the scene as Courvoisier brought the house-party vibes to Lower Manhattan for “Pass The Courvoisier,” its first global campaign in nearly 20 years. Held Oct. 21, the intimate gathering transformed Fosun Plaza into an open-air living room, complete with good music, cocktails, candid conversations and a reunion we didn’t know we needed: former 106 & Park hosts Terrence J and Rocsi Diaz back on the couch together.

Grammy-nominated rapper and singer Coi Leray also popped out as a surprise guest, joining Hot 97’s Kazeem “Kaz” Famuyide and local creators Lellies Santiago and Oliver Luke for an unforgettable evening.

Coi LeRay talks balancing motherhood and how she keeps connected to friends, fans and family.

Amid the festivities, Leray pulled up a seat with MadameNoire Managing Editor Danica Daniel for a candid conversation about connection, motherhood and finding her footing as a first-time mom while balancing the demands of a thriving music career. In 2025, the 29-year-old star welcomed her first child, a beautiful baby girl named Miyoco, marking a new chapter in her life that has shifted her perspective in more ways than one.
For Leray, building genuine connections is more important than ever, and she’s all about taking things offline and getting face-to-face with people.
“I love connecting with other people. I love kind people. I love people that are just so welcoming. It helps me,” the “Players” hitmaker told Daniel. “I don’t know, I feel comfortable in every way. And I just think that I like connecting in person more than social media as well. So I think going out more and connecting with people on a one-on-one level versus like a DM or something, I’m into that.”
