The viral rap duo Flyana Boss brought their high-speed energy and unapologetically queer vibes to the heart of West Hollywood Pride this weekend, taking the stage and the streets with infectious music, unstoppable charisma—and a playful vow to “beat up homophobes,” all in good fun.
Performing in front of a roaring crowd at WeHo Pride and speaking exclusively to Gayety, members Folayan and Bobbi proved why they’ve become Gen Z icons for individuality, empowerment, and LGBTQ+ visibility. From TikTok fame to a breakout set at one of the nation’s most beloved Pride festivals, Flyana Boss delivered what they jokingly called their “takeover of the gay world.”
“We wake up, stretch, and ask ourselves, ‘What do we do today?’” Folayan quipped in a Pride interview with journalist Andy Lalwani. “Then we say, ‘We gotta rule the gay world today.’ So we painted our faces red and came to slay.”

The duo, best known for their viral “running” music videos soundtracked by hits like “You Wish,” took their fast-paced, performative flair straight to the WeHo Pride stage. But the moment meant more than music—it was a full-circle dream come true.
“We’ve wanted to play Pride since day one,” Bobbi shared. “Every year, we would tell our managers, ‘Can we do Pride? Can we do Pride?’ This year, it finally happened—and it’s an honor.”
Their performance was equal parts party and protest, with tracks like You Wish and Candyman getting the crowd moving, laughing, and celebrating love in all forms. When asked what the “gayest” song of the set was, Folayan gave a confident nod to their own track. “Definitely You Wish—it’s our song, it’s a banger, and it’s hella gay.”
Bobbi added with a grin, “Candyman, too. There were just so many sweet men out there.”
But Flyana Boss didn’t just show up to sing—they showed up to stand up. When asked how they ride for the LGBTQ+ community beyond the stage, the duo responded with their trademark humor and fierce loyalty.
“We tend to beat up homophobic people,” Folayan deadpanned.
“We punch them in the face,” Bobbi chimed in with a laugh. “And say, ‘If you don’t like gay people, you deserve to be punched in the face.’”
“Then we just deck them right in the face,” Folayan added with mock seriousness.
The moment, though clearly a tongue-in-cheek exaggeration, was also a powerful reflection of the duo’s ethos: protect queer joy at all costs, with humor and heart. The two identify as queer women and see their music not just as entertainment, but as representation.
“We support because we are queer,” Folayan said. “So we wake up, be gay. It’s just another gay day.”
Bobbi nodded. “Today, tomorrow, always.”
Known for their playful viral videos, Flyana Boss also opened up about how their now-signature “running” videos came to be—a stroke of DIY brilliance and chaotic creativity.
“At first we thought about getting bikes to show movement,” Folayan said. “Then we decided to run. But our videographer didn’t have a car, and he was like, ‘I played lacrosse—I’ll run backwards.’ That’s how it started. Shoutout to Evan Blum, aka Dr. Clips, the short-form Scorsese.”
Their energy offstage was just as electric. Between cracking jokes and breaking into laughter mid-interview, the duo revealed they have a new track titled “CUNT” dropping June 6 at midnight—just in time to keep Pride Month shaking.
“We don’t know why we’re so silly right now,” Bobbi laughed. “It’s you,” she told Lalwani, as Folayan giggled in agreement.
If WeHo Pride is about celebrating freedom, identity, and chosen family, then Flyana Boss is its ultimate hype duo: queer, unapologetic, and completely in on the joke—especially when that joke involves fake-punching bigotry in the face.
They came. They ran. They rapped. And with each beat, they reminded the crowd: Pride is about joy, and joy is power.
