Ja Rule reveals plans for a second Fyre Festival

His attempt to run Fyre Festival with business partner Billy McFarland ended up being one of the biggest disasters of the decade.

But Ja Rule has decided it makes complete sense for him to try and set up another “iconic” festival.

“In the midst of chaos, there’s opportunity,” he told TMZ. “It is the most iconic festival that never was. I have plans to create the iconic festival, but you didn’t hear that from me.”

Fyre Festival has been dubbed the scam of the century after bosses charged attendees between $7,000 and $350,000 for a ticket to see top acts while living it up in paradise.

But when the revellers arrived on Great Exuma in April 2017, they were greeted with chaos – and the event was quickly cancelled.

And after two new documentaries by Hulu and Netflix revealed the story behind the creation and downfall of the event, the American rap star has has to try and prove his innocence in the court of public law.

“I’m not ashamed of Fyre at all, because man, the idea, it was brilliant,” he explained. “It was f**king beyond brilliant. It was amazing, but it wasn’t what I dreamed it of being (sic) and what I envisioned of it being and what I wanted it to be. It wasn’t done properly.”

While Billy was sentenced to serve six years in prison for fraud in October last year, and is currently serving time behind bars, Ja Rule has since moved on to start a new business called ICON.
