The smart thing would have been to shut the fukk up and let it blow over. He got away clean thus far.
Alhough the conference call scene in the Netflix doc makes him look real bad
Oh well, let's see what does Ja Rule think?

Ja Rule Blasts New Fyre Festival Documentaries
“Hulu PAID BILLY!!! That money should have went to the ppl in the Bahamas...”

In the past week, two documentaries about the ill-fated Fyre Festival were released. Hulu released FYRE FRAUD days before Netflix’s FYRE. Both documentaries chronicled the creation and downfall of Fyre, and specifically, at the actions of co-founders Billy McFarland and Ja Rule. Today, Ja Rule tweeted his responses to the new documentaries. “I love how ppl watch a doc and think they have all the answers,” he wrote.

Ja then specifically called out Hulu and Netflix. “Hulu PAID BILLY!!! That money should have went to the ppl in the Bahamas,” he wrote. “Netflix PAID fukk Jerry who also did all the promo for the festival. the docs clearly have Billy at fault but let’s blame the rapper lmao ok.” Find his tweets below.

Elliot Tebele, an executive producer of the Netflix documentary, is the creator of Jerry Media/fukk Jerry—Fyre Festival’s social media agency. McFarland is interviewed in the Hulu documentary. The directors of the two documentaries have criticized each other for the involvement of Tebele or McFarland. When reached about Ja Rule’s tweets, Hulu’s representatives declined to comment. Pitchfork has reached Netflix’s representatives.

The documentaries show Ja Rule co-directing the initial marketing campaign behind Fyre Festival. There’s a recording made during the festival’s aftermath where Ja Rule can be heard telling Fyre employees, “That’s not fraud, that’s not fraud. False advertising, maybe.” Immediately following the festival, Ja Rule apologized and took to Twitter to say that Fyre was “NOT A SCAM” and “NOT MY FAULT.”

McFarland was sentenced to six years in prison last year for making false statements to investors and sharing fraudulent documents. McFarland pleaded guilty earlier this year after entering an initial plea of not guilty. McFarland also pleaded guilty to separate countsof wire fraud and money laundering after being accused of selling fraudulent tickets to events such as the Grammys, Coachella, the Met Gala, and more.

why can't anyone just keep their mouth shut
8 outta 10 times, keeping your mouth shut is to your benefit.

It has worked for over 20 years for Jay and Beyoncé, I have no idea why other celebs won’t do the same. shyt will eventually blow over when you don’t acknowledge things.

They were trying to start a concert/vacation getaway for kids so they could enjoy the the Miami\carribean lifestyle and live like famous people. They were suppose to stay in huts that were said to be suites but were more like emergency huts with a blown up mattress inside
