This is hilarious. First time rich kids been inconvenienced like the rest of society, possibly 😂

I don't get chaining up the airport, what was the reasoning? To kill them all so no evidence of this disaster spread?

This is the saddest, non-apologetic excuse I've ever heard since the United Airline incident. He is going to get bankrupt in the court. He knew this event wasn't ready and had been warned but he still stubbornly push through.

lol I just learned that Ja Rule got offered $15k to star in the first Fast & the Furious movie. He got offered $500k to reprise his role in the sequel, 2 Fast 2 Furious, and he refused. They wanted to make him a recurring character.

The director of 2 Fast 2 Furious, John Singleton:

Ja got too big for himself. He turned it down. He turned down a half a million dollars. He got 15 grand to be in the first movie. He was really big at that time. I guess Murder Inc. was throwing out hits and were making money hand over foot. He was acting like he was too big to be in the sequel. He wouldn’t return calls. I went to the studio to go see him — that’s just my mantra, I deal with a lot of music people. He was kinda playing me to the side and I was like, ‘What? What is this shit?’ This was all initiated by me. I then made a call. I called Ludacris.

The best idea, they said, would be to roll everyone’s tickets over to 2018 and start planning for the next year immediately. They had a meeting with the Fyre execs to deliver the news. A guy from the marketing team said, “Let’s just do it and be legends, man

They overlooked so many very basic things. And baby, they forgot to make me sign an NDA.

I met Ludacris on a long plane flight once and he was super nice. I didn't realize who it was till we deplaned and a fan ran up and asked me if I knew who it was. "Chris" I said.

Therefore he deserves those riches.

Sucks for him, but it worked out better for the franchise. I can't picture Ja Rule as a genius hacker.

Ludacris sells it better.

Then something amazing happened: venues, bands, and people started contacting us and said they’d do anything to make this festival a reality and how they wanted to help. The support from the musical community has been overwhelming and we couldn’t be more humbled or inspired by this experience. People were rooting for us after the worst day we’ve ever had as a company. After speaking with our potential partners, we have decided to add more seasoned event experts to the 2018 Fyre Festival, which will take place at a United States beach venue.

He just seems like an awesome dude, so I'm not surprised.

I just realized... his real name is Chris, and his stage name is Ludacris. Fuckkkk

Good, Ludacris is 1000x times better at everything Ja Rule ever did. Except being a punchline to a Dave Chappelle joke. Now that's a classic.

He always seems like a really jokester but really down to earth dude. Basically he's playing himself in all those F&F movies.

Ah! I get it! And tomorrow, when the rich people and their friends come riding in to party at the real Fyre Festival, they'll actually be partying at the fake Fyre Festival, but they'll think that it's the real Fyre Festival, but we'll know that it's the fake Fyre Festival.

I was a Fast an the Furious fan, and I didn't even know the story about Ja Rule being offered the chance to come back for 2F2F. 2F2F was just kind of disappointing for me, then Tokyo (all new cast), it felt like the series was just over.

Whatever happened to Bowwow in the series?

Just haven't brought him back yet.

I think with Fast 9, it's time to bring back Lucas Black, Bow Wow and Eva Mendes.

IN FACT, let's just go back to Tokyo with the whole current cast.

I went to the Hard Knock Life Tour in 1999; at a stadium with maybe 30,000 people.. Jay-Z, DMX, Method Mand and Redman... the crowd noise was BY FAR the loudest when Ja-Rule got on stage in the middle of "Can-I Get A"...

Ja was absolutely HUGE. His corny thug with a soft side routine and his voice made him popular with the teenage / college girl crowd which is what you had to target back then to sell millions.

EVERY WITTLE TINGY DAT CHOO DOOOOOO... MURRRDERRRRR

Never been to a music festival worthy of note. If this is the worst "luxury" festival, is there an example of a good one?

I took my mom to the Desert Trip last year in Indio and had a wonderful experience.

I think the whole weekend was about $2000 including hotel and food, and I got to see Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Neil Young, The Who and Roger Waters (Pink Floyd).

I'd say that's a good one.
