The Island Boys have shaved off their trademark hair. Opting for a whole new style that has admirers scratching their heads. The Island Boys are a rap duo that originally came to prominence late last year after their song of the same name went viral. The song became an instant earworm, wriggling its way into everyone’s mind and propelling the brothers to social media fame — but not everyone was delighted. Despite their celebrity, the two have faced a lot of backlash, including being booed at their very first live performance and even being the target of hurled beverages during Jake Paul’s rematch with Tyron Woodley in boxing. Aside from their theme song, another aspect that distinguishes the rappers is their appearance, particularly their numerous facial tattoos and their distinctive blonde haircut.

Fans were shocked when the Island Boys chopped their hair?
The Island Boys have chosen to get ‘the big chop,’. Now sporting buzz cuts that give them a completely different vibe, months after achieving fame and money. The abrupt change has elicited a lot of feedback on social media. With individuals expressing their opinions on the new look. One reviewer commented, “I’m sorry, but they remind me of the school detention table”. The Island Boys became famous last year after their polarising song of the same name went viral. Yet despite their celebrity, they didn’t think the song was up to par at first.
