They are facing several lawsuits and are in financial trouble because they are always a part of controversies:

2. They began feuding with TikTok star Bryce Hall when he commented on Logan Paul’s interview video. Hall offered them a boxing match, and the duo accepted the challenge.
3. Kevin Hart and Snoop Dogg made their fun in December 2021 on streaming platform Peackock’s comedy special ‘2021 and Done’.
4. In February 2022, Their West Palm Beach, Florida house was raided by police to arrest their childhood friend, a murder suspect of an 8-year-old. Both brothers were not implicated in the case.

How Did Island Boys Become Famous?

Alex and Franky once said the best they could do was rob or rap, so they started their rap career. Frank started his journey in 2020 with the stage name redd_4x and released songs like “Real Right,” “9ine”, and “Smoke.”

They got the idea of the Island Boys rap in October 2021 and released the “I’m an Island Boy” rap on TikTok in freestyle in their outdoor water tub. The song went viral on TikTok and became a meme.

The Venegas brothers became a meme because of their odd appearance, hair, tattoos, diamond teeth, and vertical dreadlocks. Alex has some things written on his temple, the number 17 tattooed on his eyebrow, and yellow hairs.

Franky has tattooed an eagle on his eyebrow and brown hair with blond tips. The duo uploaded the same video on their YouTube channel on October 15, 2021, which has garnered over 2+ million views.

They gathered millions of followers on social media platforms, including TikTok and YouTube. People picked the Island Boys’ name from their viral rap but preferred to be known by their stage names, Kodiyakredd (Franky) and Flyysoulja (Alex).

They released a few other songs, including “See Me Dead,” “US,” Put It All,” and “Ran Up The Bag.” They turned down a record deal with Kodak Black.
