In Miami, 21-year-old Love Island USA contestant Alannah Keyser is facing growing calls for removal from the show after old social media content containing racial slurs resurfaced online. The controversy arose on June 22, 2026, less than a day after her Casa Amor debut aired on June 21. A short, blurry Snapchat video circulating on X and Instagram appears to show her singing lyrics to Roddy Ricch’s “The Box,” which include the N-word. Viewers also circulated a screenshot of an alleged TikTok comment using a racial slur pun on “Nigerian.” Peacock and ITV Entertainment have not independently verified the materials.
