The Island Boys, known for stirring up social media, have tried to explain their controversial decision to kiss each other on camera.
Florida twins Flyysoulja and Kodiyakredd first rose to fame as influencers in 2021, after a video showing them kissing each other went viral online and sparked massive reactions.
The two brothers, who were kicked out of their mother’s house at 18 because of their troublesome behavior, gained a huge following—especially on TikTok—during that period.
Still, the idea of two brothers kissing understandably stirred up a storm of criticism across social media platforms.
Responding to the intense backlash, they explained: “We’re twin brothers, we came out of the womb together, we grew up together.”
The brothers confessed that for a while after the video, they “couldn’t like, look at each other,” although they claimed it really wasn’t such a huge deal in the grand scheme of things.
That same year, they also released their track “I’m an Island Boy,” which became a viral sensation and added to the financial momentum they were starting to build.
It wasn’t a small peck either—it looked more like a full-blown makeout session.
He took part in a match in Miami, fighting streamer Oblivion in an event hosted by Adin Ross’ Brand Risk 006. Unfortunately, Kodiyakredd didn’t come out on top and lost the fight.
Before the match, things escalated at the press conference as the Island Boys found themselves having to justify the way they’ve been making money online.
Kodiyakredd responded boldly: “For millions of dollars, bro,” and went on to share that he had earned $6 million, while his brother raked in $8 million thanks to their actions.
On X, formerly known as Twitter, one user wasn’t impressed and said: “No amount of money would’ve made me do this with my siblings.”
Another person gave their take, writing: “Don’t worship money, or you’ll end up on the internet explaining why you put your brother’s c**k in your mouth,”
