Ja Rule Planning Another Fyre Festival-Type Music Event

It appears nothing, not even prison time for Billy McFarland, can stop Ja Rule from making Fyre Festival a reality.

The rapper talked to TMZ at LAX and shared that he’s planning a Fyre Festival-type music event, presumably without the fraud. Ja Rule didn’t give too many details about what’s in store for his future music festival, but it appears to be in the works.

“[Fyre] is the most iconic festival that never was,” he told the outlet. “I have plans to create the iconic music festival, but you didn’t hear it from me.”

The 42-year-old rapper also said he’s recently launched a new app, Icon, that’s similar to McFarland’s Fyre app, but he assured it won’t turn out to be anything sketchy.

“[Fyre Festival] is heartbreaking to me. It was something that I really, really wanted to be special and amazing, and it just didn’t turn out that way, but you know in the midst of chaos there’s opportunity, so I’m working on a lot of new things,” he shared. “I’ve got my new platform, Icon, rebranded and rebuilt and it’s an amazing platform. It’s for artists.”

“It is kind of similar to what the [Fyre] app was, but you have to understand the app was separate from the festival,” he clarified. “Different teams working on the app than the festival and the whole nine.”

Although Ja Rule was working with McFarland, the “Livin’ It Up” rapper blasted the Hulu and Netflix documentaries that cast him in a bad light.

“I love how ppl watch a doc and think they have all the answers,” Ja Rule wrote in a series of tweets, days after Hulu unveiled their “Fyre Fraud” and Netflix dropped their “Fyre” documentary.

“I had an amazing vision to create a festival like NO OTHER!!! I would NEVER SCAM or FRAUD anyone what sense does that make???”
