Introduction
Alex Venegas, also known as Flyysoulja, is one-half of the hip-hop duo Island Boys.
Flyysoulja and his brother Franky Venegas (redd_4x), also known as Kodiyakredd, gained popularity when their song “I’m an Island Boy” rose to fame on the video-sharing platform app TikTok.
Not only does Flyysoulja have 1.9 million followers on the Instagram social media app, but his freestyle music video “I’m an Island Boy” has nearly 21 million views on YouTube.
Here’s everything you need to know about the South Florida-born rapper and his viral career.
The Origin Story
Alex Venegas was born on July 16, 2001, along with his fraternal twin brother Franky (Franky was born 2 minutes before Alex).
Born in South Florida, the rapper is of Cuban ancestry.
In 2005, when they were very young, the twin’s father died, leaving a single mother to raise them both.
As young boys, Alex and his brother Franky were in trouble with the law, committing burglaries, stealing cars, and possessing drugs.
At 18 years old, Alex was kicked out of his home, along with his brother.
When asked about being kicked out of the house by his mom at 18, after having been arrested multiple times, he responded, “When you keep doing things that is completely opposite of what you’re supposed to be doing… you act like a man; you’re going to be treated like one.”
Venegas attended a private high school in South Florida but never finished his education.
Flyysoulja has a daughter named Kaliya, who was born in early 2021.
Island Boys
While in jail as a teenager, Alex was inspired to pursue a career as a rapper, wanting to capitalize on his talents.
In 2021, the viral video of Venegas and Kodiyakredd performing the viral hit “I’m an Island Boy” exploded on Twitter.
Soon after, a meme of the two was created and made the rounds on TikTok.
Displaying their unique looks, vertical dreadlocks, diamond-encrusted teeth, and many tattoos on their face and body, this meme gained Flyysoulja lots of attention.
In November 2021, the Island Boys had their first performance at a club in Miami.
Despite a less than warm reception, the brothers persevered and sang their hit song “I’m an Island Boy,” a cappella.
After being offered a record deal with rapper Kodak Black, known for his song “No Flockin’,” the Island Boys turned him down.
It looks like the boys are flying solo and intent on making their own way.
YouTube
One of the first songs on YouTube by Venegas was his single “Rain” in 2020. The song was a collaboration with his twin brother.
The video got over 600,000 views on the streaming video site.
In addition to the viral song, “I’m an Island Boy,” Alex released several solo songs in 2020, 2021, and 2022.
The songs include “Red Lyfe,” “Steppa,” “Pain Song,” “Jet,” “Ptsd,” and “What you doing.”
Alex’s first EP is titled “Stardom” and contains five original songs by the artist.
Flyysoulja is a social media influencer and uses his Instagram account to promote products, as well as his other social media accounts.
Girlfriend
While it is unclear whether Flyysoulja currently has a girlfriend, as he remains pretty private, he has been linked to women in the past. In November 2021, Flyysoulja shared a photo on Instagram of him and his then-girlfriend, tiinkerbell aka toxiicfaiiry, an Instagram model.
Gay?
In the summer of 2023, Flyysoulja came out as gay a few after kissing his brother. “I’m a top, I’m never a bottom, I’m a top you understand what I’m saying,” Flyysoulja said on TikTok.
However, he later said: “We’re both straight males, and kissing is not counted as a sexual act.”
Children
He has a daughter named Kaliya.
Face Tattoos
Alex’s appearance is indisputably one of the most stand-out things about him.
From his covered chest to his arms and even his face, Flyysoulja has an eclectic collection of tattoos.
His face tattoos start with his neck, where the word RESPECT is inked onto him.
He has said this tattoo is because it is something everyone wants, and he felt it was necessary.
A Chinese tower tattoo on the back of his neck matches his brother’s similar tattoo.
The words SELF MADE cover the opposite side of his neck, and his baby mama’s name in Chinese adorn the other side.
On Flyysoulja’s forehead, the number 17 represents his “angel number,” showcasing his optimism towards everything he does in life.
The year 2005 is inked down his cheek near his eye, honoring his dad and the year he died. His brother’s name Franky is tattooed on his jawline.
In addition, Flyysoulja has a bird tattooed on his face representing his performer name.
The word AMBITION is tattooed above his right eye, reminding him of his ambitious goals in his career.
A crown and a teardrop signify his “king status” and the years he spent locked up in juvenile detention.
Flyysoulja has a tattoo of his daughter’s name, Kaliya, on his lower right jaw.
In an interview with the No Jumper podcast on YouTube, Flyysoulja opened up. “I didn’t get tattoos because I wanted to be a blood… I don’t really care to be a blood. I really just want to be a rapper and make it.” Alex responded when the host asked him about his Blood gang-related tattoos on his face and neck.
