How Huda Mustafa's ‘I am a mommy' dialogue from Love Island 7 is now social media's biggest viral trend
The awkward confession by Huda Mustafa heard around the world
Nic's face did a whole journey of its own before he asked, completely baffled, if she meant 'Mamacita? Mommy? Mom of what? A dog?' Cue Huda clarifying, in the most deadpan way possible, that she was talking about 'a real, human child.' The scene aired on 15 June 2025 and instantly became reality TV gold.
How Huda Mustafa's dialogue jumped from awkward to social media worthy iconic
What started as a slightly clunky moment of TV honesty transformed into meme royalty. TikTok users wasted no time ripping the audio from the episode and lip-syncing their way into internet history.
The Empire State Building's TikTok account was one of the first to go viral with it, captioning a video: 'Me to any NYC building built after me,' before playing Huda's line. The smaller 'buildings' replied in Nic's confused tone. Pure architectural sass.
What is I am a mommy trend?
The meme reached full pop culture coronation when Megan Thee Stallion and Love Island host Ariana Madix recreated the moment in a TikTok posted just before Megan's guest appearance on 20 June. Megan took on Nic's baffled delivery, Ariana channelled Huda's matter-of-fact reveal, and Instagram practically imploded.
The backlash behind the meme
Of course, it would not be Love Island without a bit of controversy. Some viewers claimed Huda timed her motherhood reveal strategically, dropping it right when she was at risk of elimination in episode 12. Others criticised her for being away from her four-year-old daughter during filming.
But supporters argued that mums deserve romance and reality TV fun just as much as anyone else, and if it comes with an unforgettably awkward viral moment? Even better.
