Flyysoulja, one half of rap duo Island Brothers, claimed doctors diagnosed a psychotic episode caused by drug use and sleep deprivation rather than an overdose, and he denied being given Narcan. He was held under Florida's Baker Act and released on Monday, November 2.
Why it matters
The account offers a public explanation for a hospitalization that followed reported use of cocaine, benzodiazepines and Percocet. It also highlights how involuntary mental health holds under Florida's Baker Act can apply to young adults with substance-related episodes.
The figures in this case come from the rapper's own statements, including a four-day Baker Act hold and his age of 22. Neither the diagnosis nor the treatment details have been independently verified.

Florida's Baker Act allows involuntary mental health evaluations, and this case shows it being applied after a drug-related medical episode. The rapper's four-day hold follows an earlier Baker Act detention tied to damage at his Miami-area home.
Involuntary holds like the Baker Act can follow a drug-related episode, so families and individuals facing similar situations may want to understand how these evaluations work. The rapper says he is now taking medication and attending therapy, though he has said he does not plan to enter rehab.
The takeaway
Drug use combined with sleep deprivation can trigger psychosis that requires medical evaluation. Anyone experiencing similar symptoms should seek professional care rather than waiting for them to pass.
