"Mia Khalifa" is a song by American hip hop group iLoveFriday. The duo of Atlanta-based rappers Aqsa Malik and Xeno Carr self-released the song in February 2018. It was included on their second EP, Mood. The song was produced by Carr. The song is a diss track targeting Mia Khalifa, a Lebanese-American Internet celebrity and former pornographic actress. The decision to write a song dissing Khalifa arose over a misunderstanding. A faked screenshot, intended as a joke, seemed to show Khalifa criticizing Malik for smoking while wearing a hijab in a music video. iLoveFriday and their fans assumed the screenshot was real and took offense at Khalifa's apparent hypocrisy. Khalifa has not publicly commented on the song. Critics have praised the song for its unconventional catchiness, but it has also been criticized as off-key and misogynistic. Months after its release, "Mia Khalifa" achieved unexpected viral success on social media, especially among TikTok users.
