Daia McGhee Says She's Not Using Kordell Beckham

Daia McGhee, Love Island USA star, has come out to definitively say that she is not pursuing Odell Beckham Jr. In an exclusive interview with the “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast of Page Six, the 27-year-old reality TV star made it clear that she did not get with fellow contestant Kordell Beckham to eventually make a move on his older brother, OBJ.

McGhee said, “If people literally looked at logic just for, like, two seconds here, do you really think I was going to make out and allegedly dry-hump Kordell to then turn around and be like at the Thanksgiving dinner when I’m sitting around with his family like, ‘Hey, OBJ, you wanna go in the room?’”

McGhee and Kordell were known for having quick physical chemistry after forming a connection during Season 6 of Love Island USA.

During a challenge, the Islanders were presented with real-time online posts about them. During the challenge segment, several comments accused McGhee of having a crush on 31-year-old NFL player Odell and claimed that she left flirtatious comments on his Instagram page. McGhee quickly denied all of the accusations on camera.

She explained, “My excuse was, like, ‘I’m sure the only [photo] that I ever would have liked or commented with your brother in it was, like, my ex went to dinner with him. And I don’t think your brother posted it, I think my ex posted it, and maybe I commented.’”

The Los Angeles resident shared her take on the photos brought up. “They had three photos of him with this brother. They’re not friends, they just happened to be at dinner together. And there’s literally three images of them together on my Instagram Story if anyone wants to go look into my Highlights.”

McGhee added that the images of her posting heart-eyes emojis beneath a photo of Odell’s were also clearly doctored and blurry.

“I was really disappointed that that comment even got brought up because I feel like if they fact-checked it, they could have easily seen it was a Photoshopped comment,” she expressed.

“There’s, like, hearts on the side where you can like the comments and my comment, it’s like a half-heart. Like, it’s very clearly Photoshopped. I’m like, ‘You guys didn’t think to check that before adding it in there.’”

McGhee concluded her segment on the podcast by saying that she prefers musicians over athletes and never had any intentions of going after Odell through his brother.

“I didn’t have a mastermind plan to take [Kordell’s] brother. That would never happen. And my celebrity crush is Kehlani, if anyone wants to know that.”
