Island Boys is the new internet sensation in all the worst ways. The TikTokers, seeing the success of their video decided to bank on that fame and bring their talents into the real world to disastrous effect.

Their ‘music video’ features them sitting in a pool singing their famed song ‘Island Boy’ which features lyrics such as 'I'm tryna be out with all the greatest, I'm a lil' Florida boy' and 'It get real damn tropic, I'm like damn I'm the topic, I'm an island boy, I put my vest on, yeah.'

Alex and Frankie Venegas who are known as Flyysoulja and Kodiyakredd wanted to take their act to the next step but things didn’t quite work out in their favour.

As they take to the stage, the boos and jeers have already begun. People begin laughing at them but the boys are unfazed and stay committed to their act.
