Coi Leray is publicly distancing herself from her dad Benzino for the umpteenth time -- her latest mutiny coming after a rally to free R. Kelly from prison.

Benzino recently pledged his allegiance to Kelly while he was on the "We In Miami" podcast, calling for the incarcerated singer to get a 2nd chance ... because, in his words, one of Kelly's victims was only a couple of years below the legal limit, and he had consent from the young woman's parents.
