Flyysoulja, the performer born Alex Venegas and one half of the Island Boys, says he was taken to a Miami trauma unit after an overdose involving cocaine, benzodiazepines and Percocet on October 29. He says he was released on November 2.
The rapper linked the episode to a celebration for a new condo and car. He said he had previously stopped using drugs, and also said he underwent an involuntary mental-health evaluation under Florida’s Baker Act. These are Flyysoulja’s own descriptions of the incident; the available information does not establish an independent medical account beyond what he has shared.
What Flyysoulja has said about the incident
Flyysoulja described a history of addiction while discussing the overdose. His account identifies three substances or substance categories: cocaine, benzodiazepines and Percocet. That combination matters because Percocet contains oxycodone, an opioid, along with acetaminophen.
The public account does not provide dosage, timing, medical findings, a treatment plan or further details regarding the trauma-unit stay. It also does not establish precisely when he stopped using drugs before the celebration or whether that period of abstinence was medically documented. Keeping those boundaries clear is important: a person’s public retelling can explain how they understand an event without providing a complete clinical record.
The story also follows earlier public comments from Flyysoulja about a crisis at his home in November 2025. At that time, after a three-day stay at a mental-health center near Miami, he told fans that he had taken multiple drugs and damaged his home while in psychosis. He said viewers saw the situation because he had been livestreaming without realizing it.
“In the psychosis, I was trying to find something for my hair for hours, and destroyed the home while unknowingly being on Live,” Flyysoulja said at the time.
He characterized drug use as the underlying problem in that earlier episode and denied being suicidal. He also disputed aspects of the police response, alleging that officers entered the property without proper permission and mistook spilled nail polish for blood. Those claims are allegations from Flyysoulja, not established findings in the information available here.
KaylaThayla, who shares a child with Flyysoulja, said at the time that she learned he had been taken in when she went to retrieve pets from the home. His brother and Island Boys collaborator Kodiyakredd told followers that he would bring Flyysoulja home after the evaluation was completed.
Why the drug combination carries serious risk
The most consequential medical context in Flyysoulja’s account concerns benzodiazepines and the oxycodone contained in Percocet. Benzodiazepines are a class of medications that affect the central nervous system. Oxycodone is an opioid that also affects that system. The central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord and is involved in controlling a wide range of bodily functions.

Federal safety guidance warns that combining opioids and benzodiazepines can lead to extreme sleepiness, respiratory depression, coma and death. Respiratory depression means breathing becomes dangerously slowed or reduced. In practical terms, it is a serious risk because the body may not receive enough oxygen when breathing is impaired.
Percocet’s other ingredient, acetaminophen, is not an opioid. It is included in the product alongside oxycodone. The key point in the available safety information is that the opioid component and benzodiazepines can both depress central-nervous-system activity, increasing the danger associated with their combination.
Cocaine is a separate substance in the account Flyysoulja gave. The available information does not offer a medical explanation of its role in this specific incident, and it would be inappropriate to infer one. What is supported is that Flyysoulja said cocaine was involved, alongside benzodiazepines and Percocet, and that he was treated in a trauma unit afterward.
What a Baker Act evaluation means in Florida
Flyysoulja also said he underwent an involuntary evaluation under Florida’s Baker Act. The term can be misunderstood as a diagnosis or a determination that someone has committed a crime. It is neither of those things on its own.
Florida’s criteria allow a person to be held for a mental-health examination when there is suspected mental illness, the person has refused the examination or is unable to determine whether an examination is needed because of that illness, and there is a serious risk of harm without care. An evaluation is therefore a legal and clinical process for assessing immediate concerns; the fact that someone is evaluated does not, by itself, disclose every detail of their condition or establish a longer-term outcome.
That distinction is especially relevant when public figures discuss health crises online. A short post, livestream clip or secondhand account can make an intensely serious event feel like entertainment content, while leaving out context such as medical privacy, clinical assessments and the person’s ongoing support system. In this case, Flyysoulja’s own statements supply much of the public record, but they should not be treated as a substitute for records that have not been made public.
A recurring public pattern, with important limits on what is known
The October 29 overdose account and the November 2025 crisis both involve Flyysoulja publicly connecting substance use with a destabilizing situation. That recurring element provides context for why his comments about addiction are significant. It does not, however, allow outside observers to diagnose him, decide what care he needs, or draw conclusions beyond the facts he has provided.
There is also a human distinction worth preserving between reporting a health emergency and turning it into spectacle. A new home and car celebration is part of the narrative Flyysoulja attached to the event, but it should not eclipse the central fact: he says an overdose resulted in emergency-level medical care. Public discussion is most useful when it accurately separates confirmed details, personal accounts and unresolved questions.
The latest account leaves several matters unknown, including whether Flyysoulja will make further statements about recovery or the evaluation. For now, the supported timeline is narrow: he says an overdose on October 29 brought him to a Miami trauma unit, and he says he was released November 2.
