In the July 8th episode of Love Island USA Season 6, a social media challenge highlighted some controversial tweets, as reported by The Express Tribune. During the segment, the Islanders read tweets aloud, many of which contained blunt opinions and surprising allegations.
One tweet in particular claimed that Daia McGhee had been commenting on Odell Beckham Jr.’s Instagram posts before joining the show. It further suggested that her real aim was to get closer to Odell through his brother, Kordell Beckham. During the episode, the producers displayed a tweet from McGhee. This tweet was alleged to be photoshopped and included a flirty comment on Odell’s picture.
This has led to widespread speculation. Many believe that McGhee might be using her connection with Kordell Beckham to build a link with Odell Beckham Jr.

McGhee was taken aback and infuriated by the accusation that she had commented on NFL star Odell Beckham Jr.’s Instagram posts. She insisted, “Are you fu*king serious? I’ve never done that in my fu*king life. I was never. I swear to God. I’ll literally cry. That’s so fu*ked up.”
Following McGhee’s reaction, fans took matters into their own hands. Us Weekly reported that a TikTok user found that McGhee had posted two heart-eye emojis on one of Beckham’s Instagram photos. Some viewers speculated that these comments could have been altered, while others questioned whether McGhee might genuinely admire the NFL star.
After her elimination, McGhee addressed the controversy in an interview with Today. She stated that the producers should have verified the tweet’s authenticity before airing it. She also noted that they discovered the issue only afterward because they had no access to social media while on the show.
McGhee later admitted to posting a comment on Beckham’s photo but clarified that it was not flirtatious. She explained that her comment was simply because Beckham was dining with her ex-boyfriend.
