Did Huda Mustafa say the N-word? Love Island USA Season 7 star faces backlash over resurfaced TikTok amid Cierra Ortega's removal
The clip is currently circulating widely on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Reddit, with users debating whether Huda should also be removed from the show. With the finale just around the corner, her spot in the top group of finalists is now being coveted by many.
The video in question: Huda Mustafa's throwback TikTok from 2022
The video at the centre of the controversy dates back to October 27, 2022, when Huda is seen lip-syncing to a song that contains the N-word. In the clip, she appears to be mouthing along to the lyrics, and that's what has triggered the uproar. Many fans believe she clearly mouthed the slur on camera, and since the song includes the word twice, critics say she did it not just once, but both times.

While the video went unnoticed at the time it was posted, it's now resurfaced in the wake of Cierra's recent exit, adding fuel to an already tense online conversation about racism, accountability, and fairness on the show. Some fans argue that if Cierra and Yulissa were removed for offensive language, then Huda's past behaviour should be treated with the same level of seriousness. Others believe this is a reach, insisting that she didn't actually say the word.
X calls her out, Reddit defends
Reactions have been split depending on the platform. On X (formerly Twitter), many fans are convinced she mouthed the word. One user wrote, 'She barely said it.' She did say it. Yulissa Bags got packed for saying the N-word, and now Huda Bags can be packed as well! Another added, 'You want Cierra gone for her racist comments, but Huda gets a pass??? It's not making sense.'
A third user chimed in, 'Sweetheart, if she feels comfortable saying it in songs & uploading it, what makes you think she's not comfortable calling people the N-word IRL?' One person pointed out, 'Huda said the N-word twice, and she's weird asf for that, but it's the last week, and y'all don't really care.'

But on Reddit, the tone is completely different. One user explained, 'She very clearly stops herself from saying it both times. People just hate her on the show and are trying to dig up anything to make her look bad.' Another added, 'There are several other videos of her lip-syncing where she covers her mouth or clearly censors the word. Why would she suddenly stop doing that AND post it? Come on.'
Others argued that the accusations are part of ongoing fan wars, with one comment reading, 'It's not even about morals anymore—it's become a competition of whose fave is worse. That just weakens the impact of calling out actual racism.'
Huda's viral video is now deleted
Amid the backlash, Huda's original TikTok has now been deleted from her social media, which has only added to the speculation. Some believe it's a sign of guilt, while others think it was a preemptive move to avoid further drama.
Why was Cierra removed from the villa?
This latest controversy ties directly back to the earlier removal of Cierra Ortega from the villa, who was taken off the show after alleged screenshots surfaced showing her using anti-Asian slurs. Her exit came after growing online pressure and an official statement from the show citing violations of community guidelines. Now, with Huda under fire for an old video, fans are questioning whether the same standards will be applied.
Love Island USA Season 7 is currently in its final week, with the remaining islanders competing for the top spot. But as the finale approaches, controversy is threatening to overshadow the countdown to the crown.
Regardless of what producers decide, the internet remains divided, and any outcome is likely to spark another wave of backlash online.

Neha Kakkar Wears A Bra Over A White Top, Gets Brutally Trolled: 'Looks Very Cheap'
Last Updated: Some of the social media users also mocked Neha Kakkar and joked that her outfit is inspired by Superman - who wears trunks over his leotards. Neha Kakkar's latest sartorial choice has left netizens disappointed. On Monday, the singer took to her Instagram handle and dropped a photo from one of her recent stage performances. In the photo, Neha was seen sporting a blue bra over a white top. Not just this, she also layered two pairs of track pants, with the top layer being slightly shorter or looser. However, soon after the photos were shared, netizens rushed to the comments section and trolled the singer for her choice of outfit. A Reddit user also shared photos of Neha from the concert on the platform and wrote, 'What in the world is this outfit?" Reacting to the same, another user commented, 'Has she done anything that ever made sense?" 'She knew what she was doing. She did it anyway," a third comment read. Some of the social media users also mocked Neha and joked that her outfit is inspired by Superman – who wears trunks over his leotards. One of the users also argued that even Elnaaz Norouzi wore something similar in The Traitors but she looked 'dope". 'Elnaaz in traitors wore something similar earlier and she looked dope. Absolutely 🔥 Now because I saw her wear it first and better, what Neha is wearing looks very cheap especially the fitting of these track pants. I won't even acknowledge what she's wearing on top," the comment read. This is not the first time that Neha Kakkar's show is making headlines for all the wrong reasons. Previously, the singer grabbed everyone's attention when she broke down during her performance in Melbourne, Australia, in March this year. Neha was reportedly left disheartened after she allegedly faced go back slogans for arriving three hours late at the show. While the videos of Neha from the stage went viral on social media, the singer later claimed that she was late because the organisers could not provide her basic requirements for the show. Reacting to the same, Australian event planners Pace D and Bikram Singh Randhawa contradicted her claims. They alleged that Neha refused to perform due to a relatively small audience of 700 people, shifting the blame from the organisers to the artist. However, Neha has vehemently denied these accusations, maintaining her original stance. First Published:

Did Nidhhi Agerwal just reveal a key moment in 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu'? Here's what she said
Picture Credit: Facebook Pawan Kalyan will be next seen in the much-awaited historical drama. As the release of 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' nears, lead actress Nidhhi Agerwal may have just given fans a major hint about the film's most impactful scenes. N idhhi Agerwal recently interacted with her fans on social media. During her #AskNidhhi session on X (formerly Twitter), the actress answered a couple of questions from eager fans. One curious user asked her which scene they should particularly look out for in the film. Without giving too much away, Nidhhi cheekily replied, "Look out for the interval.. post interval and climax shhhh don't tell anybody I told you." While the actress didn't spill specific details, her response subtly suggests that a scene will feature some big twists. Usually, in big-budget entertainers, the interval and climax are often made to leave a lasting impact, and it sounds like 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' will be no different. Pawan Kalyan will be seen in the titular role. It follows the story of Veera Mallu, an outlaw assigned the task of stealing the famed Koh-i-Noor diamond from the Mughals. The teaser released earlier showed an epic mix of history, rebellion, and spectacle, with rich visuals and intense performances. Directed by Krish Jagarlamudi and AM Jyothi Krishna, the film has faced several delays over the years but is now confirmed for a July release. Interestingly, 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' is being planned as a franchise, making this the first installment of a much bigger cinematic vision. Besides Pawan Kalyan and Nidhhi Agerwal, the cast includes Bobby Deol, Nargis Fakhri, Nora Fatehi, and veteran actor Satyaraj in key roles. Bobby Deol, who has recently received praise for playing negative characters, will be seen as Aurangzeb. Meanwhile, the film has also led to controversy in recent days. Several Bahujan and Mudiraj community groups have raised concerns about the film's portrayal of Panduga Sayanna, alleging a misrepresentation of the 19th-century folk hero's legacy. The makers have yet to issue a statement addressing these concerns. The movie will be released on July 24th.

Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan's daughter Aaradhya is not on social media and doesn't have a phone — Here's why
Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan 's love story has long been one of Bollywood's most loved romances. In 2007, they tied the knot in a grand wedding ceremony that caught the eye of the entire nation. A few years later, they welcomed their daughter Aaradhya into the world, bringing even more joy to the Bachchan family. Abhishek showers praise on Aishwarya for raising Aaradhya In a recent chat with Nayandeep Rakshit on his YouTube channel, Abhishek Bachchan opened up about how they are bringing up Aaradhya. He did not shy away from giving all the credit to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for the way their daughter is being raised. 'I have to give the credit of everything entirely to her mother. I have the liberty and I go out to make my movies but Aishwarya does the heavy lifting with Aaradhya. She is amazing. Selfless. I find it amazing. Just mothers in general, I don't think fathers have the ability to be as giving, maybe we are wired differently, we are more about going out, we have to do something, we have to work, we are goal-oriented. And to be able to say, 'No, this is my baby and this is my top priority for me,' I think it's amazing and it's a gift. That's why possibly our go-to people are mothers. So for Aaradhya, yes, absolutely, the entire credit goes to Aishwarya.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo Aaradhya stays away from social media and does not have a phone In a time when most youngsters are busy with Instagram, YouTube and Snapchat, Aaradhya Bachchan stands out. Abhishek revealed that their daughter is not on any social media platform and doesn't even own a mobile phone yet. 'She is not on any social media, doesn't have a phone also. I think she is brought up to be a very conscientious girl and I think that's also a testimony to her individually. I don't want to take away from her what she is personally. She is who she is and she is turning out to be a wonderful little lady. She is the pride and joy of the family. So yeah, we are blessed. And at the end of the day, it's that happiness is coming home to a happy and healthy family. That is so important,' said Abhishek. Why Abhishek himself is less active on social media these days It's not just Aaradhya who is staying away from social media. Even Abhishek Bachchan has become less active on platforms like Twitter and Instagram. In an interview with ETimes, he explained why. "Partially yes, and also I feel currently, sadly, and I'm the first person who used to say if you can't handle the heat get out of the kitchen but I just feel a lot of social media is just about baiting. It's not a place where you can have a healthy discussion. When it first started you could have a healthy debate or discourse with somebody. Now it's not that. I use it more professionally now." What's next for Abhishek Bachchan? Abhishek was last seen in 'Kaalidhar Laapata' and is currently shooting for 'King'. His father Amitabh Bachchan had even confirmed on social media that Abhishek had started work on this new film. 'King' is a much-talked-about project as it stars Shah Rukh Khan , his daughter Suhana Khan .
