The Island Boys are Florida twin brothers Flyysoulja and Kodiyakredd, who posted a poolside freestyle on TikTok in October 2021. The clip of them singing I'm an Island Boy in a hot tub, with their distinctive hair and tattoos, was reposted across Twitter and YouTube as a meme and mocked by other creators. A full song version followed, but the short freestyle hook stayed the most shared part, reused for years to label cringe or delusionally confident moments online.
