The Venegas Brothers have an accumulated wealth of about $1.2 Million. They got rich by leveraging their accounts on TikTok, YouTube, and Cameo to make money.

These social media platforms are revenue streams that have enabled the Island Boys to profit from their followers and supporters. The duo took advantage of their significant TikTok following and worked with numerous businesses through TikTok, earning money from sponsored postings.

They also make money from brands that pay them to promote their products.

The rappers also post music videos and vlogs on their YouTube channel, Big Bag Ent. With over 228,000 subscribers and over 160 million video views, the channel consistently generates money for them.

They make $2–$5 for every 1,000 views on their channel, thanks to YouTube advertising. Additionally, they launched a Merchandise store where they sell a variety of items, including branded vests, hoodies and T-shirts, colorful stickers, and posters.

Their T-Shirts and sweatshirts go for about $25.99 to $45.99, respectively. In addition, the Island Boys have NFTs for minting, which can be purchased in cryptocurrency.

The Island Boys also created a company on Cameo called “Shoutouts for sale.” They may not have earned as much renown as Bald And Bankrupt, Big Sean, Jimmy Humilde, and Muni Long, but there, they make money off their notoriety through marketing shoutouts.

On their Cameo platform, personal video requests cost $158, while company bookings cost about $450.

The Island Boys make about $57,000 per month. They lead a flamboyant lifestyle, making videos and posting pictures of themselves holding wads of cash.

Though living in a rented property in Florida, the Venegas brothers dress colorfully and make a lot of noise online. They have gotten into online feuds with various celebrities like Jake and Logan Paul, Kevin Hart, and Snoop Dog.

Early Life

The Island Boys are fraternal twin brothers named Alex and Franky Venegas, who go by the stage names Flyysoulja and Kodiyakredd, respectively. They were born on July 16th, 2001.

The twins were born in Florida, USA, though their parents are originally from Cuba. The Island Boys are yet to reveal a lot about their background.

The only information available to the public is the fact that their mother raised them single-handedly. This was due to their father passing away from a heart condition when they were only four years old.

With only their mother to take care of them, the twins had a tough childhood. They took on various undesirable habits and began to cause trouble at an early age.

In fact, the Venegas Brothers admitted in an interview that they had been detained in several juvenile detention facilities since they were 13. They’ve gotten arrested for their involvement in robberies, break-ins, and drugs.

Growing up, the twins didn’t know what they wanted to be. They had only planned on being rich and famous.

Eventually, on one detention, they got the inspiration to become rappers. Alex said, “When I was locked up, I heard a lot of people were trying to be rappers, so I’m like, fuck it, I’m gonna dive into the game.”

Musical Career

Franky Venegas, one of the Island Boys duo, began his musical career in 2020. He formerly went by the name Redd 4x, but he now goes by Kodiyakredd.

He had a few tracks released, including “Real Right,” “Smoke,” and “9ine.” In October 2021, a short clip of the Venegas brothers singing beside a pool went viral.

The video was first uploaded on October 12 to Franky Venegas’ TikTok account. It got over 20 million views.

It was later uploaded on Twitter two days later with the caption, “Florida ain’t a real place.” There, the video amassed over 10 million views.

After that, viewers began to refer to them as “The Island Boys.” The music video also became a meme because of the song’s unexpected catchiness and the duo’s unusual appearance.

Since then, over 100,000 TikTok videos have since used the song’s original soundtrack.

On October 21, 2021, Alex Venegas shared another version of the song, and currently, it has received over 55 million views. The brothers later made a full music video for the song on December 4, 2021.

The video shot the twins to stardom and made them TikTok celebrities. In fact, because of the song’s popularity, rapper Kodak Black offered to sign the Island Boys to his record label, an offer which they turned down.

The brothers have made a lot of money from their music and online content creation careers.

Personal Life 

Flyysoulja (Alex Venegas) is in a relationship with Toxicfairy, an internet model and celebrity. Toxicfairy is active on both TikTok and Instagram.

The two have a child together, a daughter named Kaliya Venegas, who was born in the first half of 2021. Despite her very active personality online, Toxicfairy’s real name remains unknown.

Also, Flyysoulja is hazy about his daughter’s precise birthday. However, he began posting glimpses of the baby in 2021, giving the idea that he had her about two years ago.

According to those uploads, Flyysoulja seems to be making a lot of effort to raise his child well and be a decent father.

Kodiyakredd (Franky Venegas), on the other hand, has not been very vocal about his personal life. On September 2, 2021, he shared a post on Instagram, which was a video of him dancing with, kissing, and cuddling up to a woman.

The woman in question goes by the handle @itsmontiibabii. She only has two pictures on Instagram, one of which is a picture of her and Franky Venegas.

It is, however, unclear as to whether she is in a relationship with Franky Venegas or not.

Conclusion

Despite all the criticism they have received, the Island Boys had faith in themselves and went on to become popular social media personalities. They have successfully demonstrated that social media can be a source of wealth.

Despite growing up without a father and getting into trouble with the law at a young age, they were able to move on and make a decent living for themselves. They show a clear example of how people can inspire themselves even in seemingly negative circumstances.
