Over two weeks in, Love Island USA Season 7’s most talked-about contestant is definitely Huda Mustafa. Every Love Island USA season has a villain, and Huda seems to play that role. At the very least, she’s neck and neck with Ace Greene. Huda’s antics are one reason why Love Island USA Season 7 is must-see tv. But she’s also stirred up a lot of controversy. Especially because of her toxic dynamic with Jeremiah Brown. Here’s everything you need to know about Huda Mustafa, Love Island USA Season 7’s very polarizing breakout.
Love Island USA Huda Mustafa’s age
Huda Mustafa is 24 years old. She was born in 2000. Huda announced her age in her introduction video on Love Island USA Season 7’s first episode. But it also came up in one of the season’s most memorable moments so far.
When Huda finally told Jeremiah she had a daughter, he was shocked. He responded, “You’re a mom … but you’re 24 … how many kids?” Huda answered that she has one kid, a daughter. Huda’s daughter is about to turn five. She was born in July 2020, when Huda was 19 years old. Huda has her child’s birth date tattooed on her arm.
Huda revealing she has a daughter has made for many memorable moments on Season 7 so far. When she told Jeremiah’s best friend Nic Vansteenberghe, his reaction quickly became a meme. He responded by calling her “Mamacita” and then asked, “Mom to what? Like, a dog?”
In the most recent episode, Olandria Carthen spoke about how the stakes are raised for Huda and Jeremiah’s relationship because she has a kid. A stunned Austin Shepard, who was apparently the last person in the villa to find out, interjected, “Wait she has a kid?” It was a much-needed moment of levity in such a stressful episode. We’ll get to that later in this article.
Love Island USA Huda Mustafa Instagram and career
Love Island USA’s Huda Mustafa is a fitness influencer. She offers online fitness coaching as well. Before entering the villa, Huda Mustafa already had a sizeable Instagram following. She already had brand deals and promo codes. Most of Huda’s Instagram includes pictures and videos of her in the gym. Which makes sense, considering her career as a fitness influencer.
Huda came into the villa with over 100k followers on Instagram. According to Love Island Numbers, Huda gained the most new Instagram followers of the Love Island USA Season 7 cast in week one. That first week alone, she gained over 160k new followers. However, Huda fell in the ranks throughout week two. She still has tons of new followers, but her co-stars are surpassing her in terms of numbers gained. Especially fan favorites like Cierra Ortega. As of now, Huda has 438k followers on Instagram.
Who is Love Island USA star Huda Mustafa’s baby daddy?
Throughout her time in the villa, Huda opened up about her daughter and how hard it is to date as a single mom. That being said, Huda hasn’t mentioned the father of her daughter very much. Still, viewers were curious as to the identity of Huda’s baby daddy. Eventually, they discovered his name is Noah Sheline.
As posted on the Love Island USA Reddit, Noah shared a lengthy statement in Huda’s defense on TikTok stories. In the statement, Noah revealed he’s seen many negative comments about Huda. He asked viewers to remember that “she’s still human, she has a daughter, and a life.” And that online hate “will affect her mental health and my daughters maybe in the future.” He also asked people to stop assuming things about him or their relationship. Noah wrote, “I can only imagine her page.”
No matter how viewers feel about the contestants on Love Island USA, it is never okay to write hurtful comments on their page. Nor is it ever okay to send nasty comments and DMs to their loved ones or anyone they know. That can’t be emphasized enough.
Why is Huda Mustafa a controversial Love Island USA contestant?
Huda and Jeremiah’s relationship is so toxic, America overwhelmingly voted for him to recouple with Iris Kendall. Viewers couldn’t take the endless fights anymore. Don’t even get LI USA fans started on “Pancakegate.” Jeremiah’s made mistakes, but the way Huda speaks to him is very concerning. After America’s vote, Cierra had to tell Huda to stop with the Jeremiah name calling.
Huda is also controversial because of the way she speaks to and about the female bombshells. When Amaya Espinal entered during a challenge, she chose to kiss Jeremiah. Huda melted down during the challenge and ranted that Amaya was a “b*tch.”
When Iris arrived, Huda once again called her a “b*tch.” After America’s vote, the Islanders were nervous about leaving Huda and Iris alone together. Iris handled that conversation as well as she could, but Huda still said nasty things behind her back. When Jeremiah chose to recouple with Iris, Huda yelled that he wasn’t attracted to her and just used her. Unfortunately, Jeremiah does appear to be using Iris just to separate him from Huda. Poor Iris, we hope a bombshell is coming for you!
It’s important to remember that we see an edited slice of the Islanders’ days. There’s context we could be missing. But the others constantly talk about the toxicity, and many seem scared of Huda. That raises alarm bells. At this point, many LI USA viewers are concerned for her mental well being. She’s been on the chopping block twice already. According to a preview, the other girls are reaching their limit, and won’t save her a third time. Where do we go from here? Will Huda change and take accountability, or continue crashing out? We’ll have to wait and see.
Love Island USA Season 7 is available to stream on Peacock.
