Contentious rappers and wannabe boxers, The Island Boys have become notorious for their extravagant displays of wealth. From fancy cars to an upscale mansion, the brothers seemed to have it all. However, according to their former manager, there seems to be trouble brewing in this make-believe paradise.

The Island Boys consist of brothers, Flyysoulja and Kodiyakredd. Their former rep, Dovi Bezner AKA ‘Poker the Jew’ was talking on the ‘No Jumper’ podcast hosted by Adam John Grandmaison. Meanwhile, he was present on the episode as the current manager of rapper Skinnyfromthe9. When asked about the Island Boys, Skinny mentioned that Poker was cheated by the brothers. Poker added to the statement, saying, “They owe me about 150,000 dollars.”

Notably, the money owed was Poker’s share of their cameo money. When asked if they only make money from cameos, Poker mentioned that the brothers might be broke. He said, “Maybe a little bit on TikTok. But, I mean it’s pretty much run dry at this point.”

Moreover, he divulged more information on the cameos, saying, “When I was with them, they were coming in hot. It was like two-three hours a night, straight into cameos. That’s literally their only source of income. And it’s pretty much over.”

Additionally, Poker also mentioned that The Island Boys were canceled and that they would not be able to make public appearances for money henceforth.

It is worth noting that the Island Boys were once warned about ending up broke. In fact, they were given financial advice by none other than Logan Paul and his friends, especially George Janko.
