The Island Boys have finally addressed criticism following the backlash over their “crying” scandal.
Alex Venegas, who goes by the name of @Flyysoulja on TikTok, recently took to the platform to provide his thoughts on some of his “haters” who are “spreading negativity”.
His explanation on the social media platform comes as a recently resurfaced video, which saw one of the brothers getting upset, became viral.
Venegas told fans in a recent clip: “Hey what’s going on guys? Look, there’s a lot of haters going on, spreading negativity and stuff like that. I got supporters showing me love and you guys are just replying with negative comments.
“Everything I do, everything I flex is just for motivation. It’s not for you guys to get mad or nothing like that.
He continued: “I’m young, I became successful [for] what I did, I worked very hard and I got what I wanted. You guys can do the same thing, there’s no reason to hate on me. You know what I’m saying?
“I’m only 20-years-old, I’ve got a lot [more] to come, and I wanna accomplish a lot more. I don’t let the negativity bother me, but I could give you guys some advice and tell you what to do.
“You guys could start on by doing what you guys love to do and you can make it into a dream and an occupation just how I did it. Come on, you can’t hate on me,” the TikTok sensation concluded.

The video comes as the Island Boys were recently criticised for a resurfaced video, in which one of the Island Boys was reported to assault a woman and then began crying after she retaliated.
Venegas’ statement, has, however, contracted yet more criticism for the twins, with some followers accusing the pair of not working for their wealth.
One follower asked the Island Boys: “What "hard" work have you done?”
Another criticised the social media mogul, saying: “I like how he’s a motivational speaker now, and he can’t even pull up his pants, and what did he do? Like what is his talent?”
The pair are well known for flashing their cash, bling, and expensive cars.
