A viral picture claiming that Island Boys had some connection with the late Jeffrey Epstein, who was an American s*x offender, is doing the rounds on the internet. In the picture that is garnering much attention on social media, Epstein can be seen standing on his infamous island, where he was standing next to two young island boys who hold some resemblance to the popular rapper twins.

The rapper twin boys were brought up in Coral Springs, Florida, and they have Cuban roots. However, they have never visited their ancestral homeland.

The photo that was widely circulated on the internet left the fans of the Island Boys curious if they had any sort of connection to Epstein. As the rumors about this started doing the rounds on the internet, the twin rapper boys denied any connection to Epsteim and told TMZ that the image was fake.
They further said that they shot to fame through their own hard work and talent, and Epstein had no role to play in this.
Flysoulja said that he and his brother were living in Florida until they turned 18, and the photo that is being widely shared online does not seem like it is from their home state.
He further said that the boys in the picture have different hair colors and they did not have them while growing up. He further pointed out that the boys in the picture looked like they were Caucasian. However, the Island Boys are Cuban.
