Island Boys' Flyysoulja Insists Miami Hospitalization Was 'Drug-Induced Psychosis,' Not an Overdose
Days after being rushed to a Miami trauma unit and placed under an involuntary mental health hold, the viral rapper is pushing back on reports he overdosed.
Flyysoulja, one half of the viral "Island Boys" duo, says his recent Miami hospitalization was the result of drug-induced psychosis rather than an overdose, according to TMZ. He was reportedly hospitalized in late October after an incident involving cocaine, benzodiazepines and Percocet, and was placed under Florida's Baker Act for an involuntary psychiatric evaluation — the second such episode in just over a year. He has said he's trying to get clean to be a better father.
