Island Boys singer Flyysoulja hospitalized after drug overdose

Flyysoulja, a member of the rap duo Island Boys, was hospitalized in a Miami trauma unit following a drug overdose on October 29, 2026, according to reports from TMZ.

Hospitalization and substances

The singer, whose real name is Alex Venegas, told TMZ that the overdose occurred while he was celebrating the purchase of a new car and a new condo. Venegas stated he overdosed on a combination of cocaine, benzodiazepines, and Percocet. He reported that he had stopped using drugs for a period of time prior to the incident, despite a long-term history of addiction.

Mental health evaluation

During his hospitalization, Venegas was placed under an involuntary mental health evaluation under Florida's Baker Act. This law allows for involuntary mental health examinations if it is determined that an individual may pose a serious threat to themselves or others. Venegas was released from the hospital on November 2, 2026, four days after the overdose.

Previous incidents

This is not the first time Venegas has been subject to the Baker Act. In November 2025, he was held for evaluation following a drug-induced psychotic episode at his home in the Miami area. Regarding that incident, Venegas stated, “In the psychosis, I was trying to find something for my hair for hours, and destroyed the home while unknowingly being on Live.” Following that event, he told TMZ, “I’m glad that I got help but I have a substance issue, not a mental problem.”

In January 2026, Venegas told TMZ he intended to enter rehab to become a "better version" of himself and a "better dad."
