‘He’s bizarre and cringey’ say fans as Love Island star fuels bitter Casa Amor feud over Grace
MOZIAH Pinder has reignited his feud with Blade Siddiqi over Grace Jackson.
The Casa Amor lads battled it out for her affection during their time on the ITV show, but Blade ultimately took the top spot.
Appearing on the Shiikane podcast Moziah and castmate Lionel Awudu reflected on their time in the villa.
Kay asked Moziah: “So how was your relationship with Blade then?”
He replied: “You know what it is? It’s actually very funny because when I first met Blade, I sensed something off about him.
“I’m that guy, you know what I’m saying? I sensed something from him when I shook his hand, and he didn’t even look me in the eye.
“I thought, ‘Hmm, that’s funny,’ but figured that’s just how some people you meet like.
“Whereas me, when I meet someone, I shake their hand and look them in the eye. It’s just how I was brought up.
“It only makes sense how I feel about Blade now, trusting my gut from when I first met him.
“We all know what he did, and what he did was just out of order, man.
“You just don’t do things like that. I know he doesn’t do things like that on the outside, so why do it inside the villa?”
Sharing his thoughts on his co-star, Lionel added: “Obviously coming in and interrupting the conversation that you had with Grace, that was rude.”
Moziah exclaimed: “Not just interrupting, taking her as well kind of thing. Especially prior to that, we had a conversation.
“We both like the same girl, let’s go about this in a respectful way.
Fans shared their thoughts on the situation, with many branding Moziah “bizarre and cringey” for his comments.
One person wrote: “It’s hard to explain but he almost seems slightly delusional and exaggerated whatever brief “connection” he had with Grace in his mind?”
A second added: “It seems like he has personal one-sided beef with Blade over Grace which is bizarre because Blade wishes him well and is confused about it, he says things like “Blade is nothing against me” and “Blade was never meant for Grace” and it’s just a little weird to me.”
Another added: “Oh yeah, Moziah came across as very cringe and weird. He said that he was going to wait for Grace on the outside and be in her dms when he came out lol.”
Moziah and Blade both captured the attention of the Manchester model during their time in Casa Amor.
As Moziah was expressing his feelings to Grace, Blade swooped in and took her away, which led to a confrontation.
Moziah called out Blade for his rude move, but the latter insisted he had done nothing wrong.
Grace then said she needed to kiss both men to make a fair decision.
She told Moziah she had already kissed Blade and would need to kiss him before finalising her choice.
However, the blonde beauty then stunned fans when she chose Blade over Moziah in the recoupling – despite ranking the latter a “10” with his kissing skills.
