Fyre Festival's Andy 'blown away' by all the memes created about him

It’s no secret that Fyre Festival was an absolute disaster.

And while everyone has been left reeling on the partygoers’ behalf after watching Netflix’s new documentary on the bungled event, there was one hilarious part that people just can’t forget.

At this stage, we all know Andy King from Fyre: the Greatest Party that Never Happened as the man who was willing to do pretty much whatever it took to save the festival from turning into the headache it inevitably became.

During the documentary, Andy shared what festival organiser Billy McFarland said to him when the Bahamian customs decided they weren’t going to release the water supply to them, unless they paid up.

“You’re our wonderful gay leader and we need you to go down [to customs]. Will you suck d*** to fix this water problem?” Andy claimed Billy said to him.

Andy said he went home, took a shower, and was fully willing to take one for the team just to save the festival.

Thankfully, it never came to that and Andy didn’t have to go through with it.

However, his anecdote has since been turned into a plethora of memes on the internet.

Now Andy has spoken out about the attention his story has been getting since the show was released on Netflix.

“I just don’t want to be necessarily known as the Blowjob King of the World,” he said in an interview with Netflix.

“I’m blown away by the response of the documentary. I’m now a noun, a verb, an adjective. It’s mind boggling.

“When someone reached out last weekend and said ‘You’re trending’, and I’m like, ‘I don’t even know what trending means’. ‘People are talking about you’. I’m like ‘oh gosh’.

“And then yesterday, someone was like ‘You’re a ME ME’. I’m like ‘What’s a ME ME?’ They’re like ‘No Andy, it’s a MEME’.”

Andy said he’s glad his part in the documentary has drawn people’s attention to the festival, as he hopes it will help in their GoFundMe quest to pay back all the labourers in the Bahamas.
