Coi Leray and Justin LaBoy Spark Dating Rumours at NBA Game
The high-stakes NBA showdown between the Boston Celtics and the Cleveland Cavaliers on November 30 featured more than just basketball drama. All eyes were on the courtside seats at Rocket Arena, where rapper Coi Leray and media personality Justin LaBoy made a joint appearance, sending the internet into a frenzy and intensifying speculation about their relationship status.
Fan Frenzy Erupts Over Courtside Chemistry
Online fans were quick to comment as clips and photos of the pair sitting comfortably together circulated widely. Their relaxed and intimate demeanour became an instant talking point, adding a layer of off-court intrigue to the already tense game. This public outing is the latest in a series of appearances that have kept fans guessing for weeks.
The speculation train first left the station in mid-September when LaBoy posted a now-iconic photo of himself hugging Leray from behind with the caption, "MY COIIIII #RESPECTFULLY." The rumours only intensified from videos that same night where LaBoy was heard smiling and stating, "This my girl."
A Timeline of Growing Hints and Public Declarations
Since September, the pair have been increasingly visible together. The chatter reached a new peak in November when Leray shared a since-deleted post admitting, "I'm in love, y'all, not gonna lie." In a corresponding video, Justin LaBoy referred to their connection as a "blessing," adding, "Thank you to every n**ga that ever fumbled you. God said, 'Everybody gon' drop her for you.' It's a blessing."
Further fuelling the fire, Leray has publicly expressed her preference for low-key men and revealed she had linked up with someone she "actually like[s]." She later described LaBoy in glowing terms as the "most amazing man on earth," pushing the narrative far beyond mere speculation.
Celtics Seal a Nail-Biting Victory Amidst the Buzz
The energy from the celebrity sighting seemed to mirror the on-court action. The Boston Celtics managed a hard-fought 117-115 win against the Cavaliers, a remarkable feat considering they were missing two key starters. The team's victory was anchored by Jaylen Brown's triple-double and a standout performance from Payton Pritchard, who scored 42 points.
Pritchard sealed the game with two crucial free throws in the final seconds. Reflecting on his performance, he said, "I was disappointed with how I played last night in Minnesota, so I wanted to come out here and give it everything I've got tonight and try to pull out this win on a back-to-back." The thrilling conclusion of the game perfectly matched the excited reaction to Leray and LaBoy's high-profile courtside date.
