Poor Ja Rule. The man just wanted to provide a luxury festival for a bunch of rich 19-year-old Instagram models and their friends, and all he managed to do was create an insane Lord of the Flies situation where it’s incredibly lucky nobody got eaten. The festival and Ja Rule himself have apologised for the fuck-up.
No, Ja Rule has taken to Twitter to confirm that everyone is safe – obviously not including the rich kids who presumably stayed on the island in order to create a new and terrifying civilisation where Insta likes are currency and shit selfies are punished by hanging:
Relieved to share that all guest are safe, and have been sent the form to apply for a refund. Our deepest apologies… #fyrefestival
— Ja Rule (@Ruleyork) April 30, 2017
“We’re heartbroken that we let down all the guests who put their faith in us,” read the official Fyre Festival statement. “To our guests and staff—thank you again for your all patience as we navigate our next steps. We owe you an apology.”
You may owe them an apology, but you certainly owe no apologies to the rest of us proles – who have been gifted a true satiric masterpiece, except in real life.
Ja Rule still maintains that it wasn’t a scam, and despite an earlier tweet claiming it was NOT HIS FAULT, he’s definitely copping the brunt of the PR. There’s a lesson here: dumping a bunch of rich kids on a island with only cheese sandwiches to sustain them will be funny for everyone except the rich kids.
Dunno if that’s really an applicable message.
