Love Island fans have accused Blu of ''stirring drama' to get more 'air time' as the final approaches.
The former dumped Islander returned to the villa on Tuesday alongside Megan after being the second contestant to leave the show earlier in the season.
During Friday night's episode, the Spanish lad had plenty to say about Toni during the infamous Grafties.
As part of the game, a clip was shown of Cach - who Toni had previously split from to pursue things with Harrison - crying on the terrace.
After the clip was shown, Blu turned to Toni and said: 'Did you see what you did to Cach?'
Toni quickly responded: 'Shut the f* up, talk about situations that you've been here for.'
Blu hit back: 'What you on about? I am here now, so I can speak if I want to.'
Yasmin then jumped in to defend Toni, saying: 'She was upset about that though, she was crying about that too. She wasn't heartless about it — she was genuinely really upset.'
After the game wrapped, Blu pulled Toni for a chat in the outside lounge.
'I don't agree with what you said,' Blu began. 'Like, I have respect for you, but if I have something to say - my opinion - and then you have your opinion, which is completely fine, why are you being hypocritical?'
Toni replied: 'I just feel like you're involving yourself with something that has nothing to do with you.'
Blue said: 'We're all sat around here, we all live in the same villa. I can have my own opinion - just like you always have your own opinion.'
You've been outside watching it,' Toni said.
'Exactly,' Blu fired back before Toni continued: 'You know how I felt. You saw me sit there crying. When I apologised to Cach, was I not up on the terrace bawling my eyes out?'
'I don't agree with what you said,' Blu began. 'Like, I have respect for you, but if I have something to say - my opinion - and then you have your opinion, which is completely fine, why are you being hypocritical?'
'"Toni how do you feel?" - you know how I felt. I don't understand what you want.'
'You can make Cach cry and that's fine?' Blu said.
Toni responded: 'Did I ever say that it was fine?
Blu responded: 'You've just done the same thing.'
Toni said: 'I'm not going to lie to you. I literally don't care about this conversation.'
Blu dismissed her with: 'Pfft, all right... so I have the right to have my own opinion and voice my own opinion. What are you on about?'
'Go for it. I don't care,' Toni added.
Blu then said: 'OK cool, so don't tell me I can't put my two pence in when you're the one always putting your f*ing 50p in.'
'I still don't get what the point here is,' Toni question.
Blu replied: 'Are you trying to belittle me or something? I'm pulling you here because I genuinely think you're a nice girl and I'm trying to, like, brush it under the f*ing bridge.'
Toni pushed back: 'Then why were you trying to get a reaction out of me? Did you want me to say I'm sorry again?'
Blu replied: 'Can I not ask my question? I'm asking a question. So you can ask a question but I can't ask my question?'
Toni said: 'But I was involved.'
Blu shot back: 'What are you on about? So? I'm involved now and I can ask my question.'
At that point, Toni stood up and walked away from the conversation.
Blu muttered: 'You walk away when it's convenient for you to walk away - coz you know I'm fing right. Absolute fu**ing weirdo.'
Fans were left just as confused by Blu's confrontation with Toni, taking to X to share their bewilderment over his point.
They said: 'The most bizzare thing about the Grafties was Blu trying to villainise Toni at any chance he could get. He really thinks he ate with that but in the words of Scott, he looked like a fxcking b*ellend',
'Blu pulled Toni for some airtime and left HEATED, while Toni left confused & not giving a single F',
'Blu's angry because toni's not giving him the argument he wanted, he wants to create drama to stay in the villa #loveisland',
'The way Blu was just trying to get a rise out of Toni was disgusting, when she didn't give him the argument he really wanted, he turned nasty, the man went red #LoveIsland',
'Toni just said 'blu I don't care to give you your 15 minutes of fame' and this is why we love her #loveisland',
'Blu wants a moment so bad he knows being around Toni will get him some more screen time.'
