On Oct. 12, 2021, TikTok user @kodiyakredd shared a video where he and his brother @flyysouljah are seen singing in a pool. “‘Cause I’m an island boy, and I’ve been trying to make it / Oh, I’m an island boy / Ayy, I’ma just island boy, I’ma just island boy,” the catchy tune begins.
The video of the brothers has been shared across multiple platforms — including Twitter, where it has quickly racked up views after user @fbgwayno tweeted the video with the caption, “Florida ain’t a real place.”
In the original TikTok video, which received over 9 million views and is now unavailable to watch, the boys received a lot of negative reviews about their singing, as well as their appearances. “This is hilarious. This can’t be real,” one user wrote. Other users had trouble understanding the lyrics and asked for subtitles.
Actor and comedian Andy Milanokis actually duetted the now-deleted video and put the Island Boys in front of a larger audience. In fact, more than 10,000 videos have been made using their “Island Boy” audio. Some videos mock their singing, but despite all the hate, the Island Boys continue to stay in the limelight. They have already unveiled their own merch, and they’ve joined Cameo. They also inspired many 2021 Halloween costumes.
