Back in June this year, the boy group shared their version of the Netflix film Extraction. After sharing the video across social media, they also requested their followers to tag the lead actor of the film, Chris Hemsworth, to gain his attention. However, a couple of hours later, Netflix retweeted their take on Extraction and wrote, "LOVE THIS'. Later, Hemsworth too retweeted the video and wrote, "EPIC". Furthermore, the producers of the web film, Russo Brothers, were so impressed by their video that they invited them to the premiere of Extraction 2. They tweeted writing, "This is awesome! We would love to have you guys at the #Extraction 2 premiere...DM us and we’ll get you there!". Soon the Ikorodu Bois replied to the tweet and wrote. "This would be a dream come through and this is the day we’ve been waiting for all our lives".
