Former adult film actress Mia Khalifa has expressed disappointment in DJ Khaled for staying silent on Israel’s attacks on Palestine, despite being of Palestinian origin.
Since the violence between Israel and Palestine began in October 2023, many celebrities expressed solidarity with either Israel or Palestine, with Mia Khalifa showing her support for the latter. The former adult film star has been using her social media platforms to share the plight of Palestinian people.
Mia has now criticised DJ Khaled for his silence on the matter. She took to X and reposted a user’s tweet about a Palestine solidarity march in Paris. “DJ Khaled is a b***h,” the post read and Mia agreed with the statement and wrote: “Major key alert.”

Mia Khalifa’s followers sided with her and criticised the famed record producer, with one user demanding: “Boycott DJ Khaled” and another commented “That’s 100% true.”
DJ Khaled was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, to Palestinian parents who immigrated to the United States. Since the violence broke out, the DJ has been facing criticism for not speaking about the matter and for not showing solidarity with his country of origin.
Khalifa on the other hand came under fire for appearing to support Hamas’ initial attack on Israel. Her posts resulted in Mia being dropped by Playboy and losing out on a podcast deal with Canadian broadcaster and radio host Todd Shapiro.
Israel-Palestine conflict
An armed conflict between Israel and Palestine broke out on October 7, 2023, when the Palestinian militant group Hamas launched a surprise attack. Israeli military forces retaliated with extensive strikes on the Gaza Strip and a subsequent invasion of Gaza.
At least 9,770 Palestinians, including 4,800 children, have been killed in Israeli air strikes on the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, at least 1,400 Israelis are reported to have been killed.
