Ja Rule brings up EXCELLENT point about Fyre Fest on The Breakfast Club interview

[96Blue]

It was supposed to be a luxury music festival (2017) in the Bahamas. The festival was to promote an app that you could use to book musical talent. They had celebrities and ig "influencers" promoting the shyt hard. What they promoted wasn't even close to what people got when they got there. It pretty much flopped in every single aspect. The guy who was running it was a known scammer. Watch the netflix doc on it. Prepare to be

Thanks, I just looked it up too. Ol' boy finessed everybody and had mufuggas sleeping in tents.

Rolling Loud wasn't responsible for security at their festival? Rolling Loud organizers weren't aware that some of the artists had charges and had potential to be booked but used their names to get ticket sales anyway

Kodak was arrested for some shyt he hadn't been charged with yet.

Wayne said Rolling Loud had nothing to do with the security that was doing mandatory police searches.



Thug and NBA Youngboy were involved in some shyt off site.

 

[Sonny Bonds]

The events of Rolling Loud were more impactful than some cheese sandwiches and disappointing accomodations, so like Ja said, where's the documentaries on that?

The celebrity involvement and the Fyre Festival's status as a meme generator/joke is what caused all the hoopla and media attention.

False equivalency

 

[Mr Rager]

False equivalency

It is. One is more serious than the other. Yet the less serious one recieves more attention. Why is that?

 

[The Coochie Assassin]

Black folks did get scammed at Fyre Fest tho, all those black workers who didn’t get paid until after the documentaries came out on it

 

[Sonny Bonds]

It is. One is more serious than the other. Yet the less serious one recieves more attention. Why is that?

Because the attention for Fyre Fest was very jokey, social media and celebrity based. It's easier to sell jokes and fluff pieces about celebrities.

I knew he'd exploit racism to excuse his fukk shyt.

Man blaming Rolling Loud for Kodak Black being investigated by the feds and NBA Youngboy being shot at outside of his hotel

 

[CoryMack]

Ja wasn’t responsible for the logistics of that festival, the white boy was. Ja was just the celebrity face getting a fee or a piece of the profits to attract other big names.

 

[At30wecashout]

Yes

But that point can’t come from him as an excuse to get out of this shyt.

Lets be real, in the interest of arguing for black people, there is an element of "white people do it to" that is used all the fukkig time. Ja Rule aint doing anything new, especially to coli cats who follow the same logic (see any thread mentioning Mugabe for apex level shyt).

That said, JaRules name was everywhere after that shyt went down , so I am not surprised he aint feeling that shyt.

 

[Blankthawtz]

Watching this shyt now and Ja doing a whole lot of tap dancing trying to save face as if he wasn't apart of this shyt....


All I know is if he attach his name to any type of future festival nikkaz is not gonna fukk with it.... No matter how good of an idea it is....

 

[Easy-E]

A bunch of men in this thread making excuses.

Ja is on tape basically trying to create a new word for scam.

He knew what was going on. Stop it.

 

[fukkyalifestyle]

where is ja rule to make sense of all of his non sense?

he seemed drunk the whole trip in the documentary because he probably knew what was going on. matter of fact the one guy from the island that worked with them said ja rule straight up asked him if they think itll happen and he said no.

 

[dontreadthis]

...and they went on to party in Miami and the Bahamas after the festival...those poor folks.
