Love Island viewers have blasted the rapper Stefflon Don after she speculated about Mehdi Edno’s sexuality during an appearance on Aftersun, during Pride Month, no less.
The 31-year-old artist, real name Stephanie Allen, was among the guests on Sunday’s programme and was quick to pass judgement on the 26-year-old model, who entered the villa on day one of the 10th series.
‘I don’t know if he even likes females, I’m not going to lie,’ she told presenter Maya Jama, 28, and the live audience.
‘Oh no,’ Maya said while the audience collectively gasped before booing in response.
‘I’m not sure you know,’ Stefflon continued. ‘Or he likes both. He’s giving a bit of both.’

Pride Month 2023
Pride Month is here, with members of the LGBTQ+ community and their allies celebrating their identities, accomplishments, and reflecting on the struggle for equality throughout June.
This year, Metro.co.uk is exploring the theme of family, and what it means to the LGBTQ+ community.
Find our daily highlights below, and for our latest LGBTQ+coverage, visit our dedicated Pride page.

Dear Yasmin Benoit: How do I navigate a world obsessed with sex as an asexual?
Maya then intercepted: ‘He can do whatever he likes, but…’
Viewers were quick to call out Stefflon’s outrageous remark on Twitter.
‘It’s one thing to question a man’s sexuality openly, another to do it on national telly, but the worst to do it during pride month when everyone’s pretending to care that extra bit,’ one blasted.
Another said: ‘To go on live TV during pride month and openly speculate about someone’s sexual identity is so wrong and so nasty.’
A third added: ‘Homophobia & biphobia during pride month?! Simply wild scenes and it killed my vibe.’
‘People actually can’t criticise him without casual homophobia,’ wrote a fourth.
Medhi is currently coupled up with Whitney Adebayo, 25, in the Love Island villa.
Their romance hit a bump in the road in scenes that aired last week, however,when he revealed he wants to get to know Leah Taylor.
Metro.co.uk has contacted ITV and Stefflon Don’s rep for comment.
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
