Flyysoulja was out celebrating a new condo and a new car. By the end of the night on October 29, 2026, the Island Boys rapper found himself in a Miami-area trauma unit after what he described as a severe overdose.
The 25-year-old, whose real name is Alex Venegas, told TMZ he mixed cocaine, benzodiazepines, and Percocet. He said he had been clean for a stretch before the relapse. Hospital staff treated him, then placed him under Florida’s Baker Act for an involuntary mental health evaluation. He walked out on November 2, about four days later.
Alex and his twin brother Franky (Kodiyakredd) blew up in 2021 with the TikTok freestyle “I’m an Island Boy.” The Florida twins, known for their face tattoos, tall dreadlocks, and diamond grills, turned internet meme energy into a full-time rap and social media career. Flyysoulja has spoken about being a father and wanting to do better for his kids.
This was not his first public struggle. In November 2025, authorities Baker Acted him after a drug-related episode at his Miami-area home. He later told TMZ he had taken multiple substances, damaged parts of the house while unknowingly livestreaming, and insisted the root issue was substances rather than mental illness.
“I’m glad that I got help but I have a substance issue, not a mental problem,”
He said at the time. He also recalled,
“In the psychosis, I was trying to find something for my hair for hours, and destroyed the home while unknowingly being on Live.”
In January 2026 he told TMZ he was heading into detox and rehab.
“I’m going to detox right now to get the help to become a better version of myself and to become a better dad,” he said. “I’m gonna come out stronger. … I can’t wait. I’ve been here before, but this time I’m gonna take it a lot more seriously.”
Whether he completed that program or stayed clean afterward is not publicly confirmed.
Florida’s Baker Act lets officials hold someone for an involuntary mental health exam when they appear to meet legal criteria for risk of serious harm to themselves or others. It is not a criminal arrest. It does not equal a psychiatric diagnosis. The standard exam window is up to 72 hours, though medical treatment can extend a hospital stay. Flyysoulja’s four days covered both emergency care and the evaluation.
Percocet contains the opioid oxycodone. The FDA has long warned that mixing opioids with benzodiazepines can cause extreme sleepiness, slowed breathing, coma, and death. The CDC notes that polysubstance overdoses involving opioids, stimulants like cocaine, and depressants carry unpredictable and elevated dangers. These are general medical facts. They do not confirm what doctors observed in Flyysoulja’s case.
Flyysoulja has not posted extensively about the latest incident on his own channels. Questions linger about any follow-up treatment after his November 2 release. Recovery is rarely linear, especially for public figures under constant scrutiny. Support systems, honest accountability, and sustained help matter more than any single hospital stay. His stated goal of being a better father remains the clearest signal of what he says he wants.
