The rapper, whose real name is Alex Venegas, says he had just purchased a new condo and car and was celebrating when things took a dangerous turn.<\/p>\n

Flyysoulja admits he’s struggled with addiction for years but had stopped using drugs for a while before the overdose.<\/p>\n

He says he was also Baker Acted … meaning he was placed under an involuntary mental health evaluation under Florida law. He tells us he was released from the hospital Monday, four days after the overdose.<\/p>\n

The incident comes nearly a year after Flyysoulja was Baker Acted<\/a> in November 2025 following a drug-induced psychotic episode<\/a> at his Miami-area home.<\/p>\n

As we reported … he admitted taking multiple substances before destroying parts of his home while unknowingly livestreaming. He later told TMZ he had a substance abuse problem, not a mental health issue, and was grateful for the help he received.<\/p>\n
