This is incredible:

They didn't even start planning anything until last month.

OMG the closing bit:

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

I was just about to come post this. This was damn good.

Another gem:

At this point it was pretty clear that this was a mess and I shared my concerns with the man I reported to. But he assured me that the Fyre execs were legit, and said some socialite was underwriting the whole thing. The budget was okayed and we were told to carry on with our planning. That night Ja Rule gave a toast. “To living like movie stars, partying like rock stars, and fucking like porn stars.” If Ja Rule is punished for anything perhaps it should be that.

Are people still being evacuated?

One among many reasons to not follow in the footsteps of Bill O'Reilly.

From what I've read $500 wasn't available long and it could have been anywhere from $1k - $125k per person.

The one Twitter account that was posting throughout and most of the pictures came from claimed that most of the people he talked to were there on $500 tickets.

 

[Kaladin]

With some of the stuff on Reddit, I'm surprised we haven't heard of any deaths.

 

[Kyzer]

holy shit theyre gonna go to jail

The promotional video does not make mention of disaster relief tents, or disaster.

It does, to its credit, suggest the whole megillah is "on the boundaries of the impossible."

👏👏👏"Let's just do it and be legends, man."👏👏👏

Lol. I worked in the music biz for a few years and also worked on a few festivals. This is just glorious.

lol dude 500 bucks and I'm gonna be rollin in the sand with insta-models GONNA BE LIT!!!

Hopefully this is what leads to Ja Rule going into financial ruin because I don't understand how he hasn't reached that point already. He hasn't had any popular music in 15 years and everything I've seen about him shows no financial savvy whatsoever.

It's bizarre that he isn't totally broke by now.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

So its back to jail for Ja?

 

[cordy]

Ja Rule says he won the 50 beef (but then gets called out)

Yall know that Ja's the master spinner. Hell, this is an example of it. It's part of his legacy lol.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Are people still being evacuated?

They're not being allowed back into the US due to being refugees. Some are being flown to Germany

Link to the original tweet? I wanna retweet it

As much as we all make fun of the gathering of the juggalos, in comparison, those festivals seem decently organized and they have booked some great acts throughout the years.

You're not going to starve or get eaten by wild dogs at the gathering. That's for sure.

Man. Some kids got. GOT.

This cannot be real can it?

I have a luxury music festival to sell you.

Maybe this is how Ja makes his money

lol @ cutting in random hot bikini babes every 5 seconds.

Like some not-so subliminal message "you can fuck hot chicks, come here, fuck hot chicks, come on book it, hot chicks".
Even more hilarious considering how it turned out, like some Hostel-type trap.

 

[BlueTsunami]

hoooly shit lol

I love that this can be seen as a litmus test for people who have never been to the Caribbean outside the tourist traps

+expensive boats
+swimming around ocean wreckage

It truly is an Instagramers wet dream

 

[Shaanyboi]

And I'm fucking done...

 

[AlexBasch]

I too, lost my goddamn shit at "ONCE OWNED BY PABLO ESCOBAR".

Shit it should be a meme by now.

When they show the XB1 Scorpio it should have a "ONCE OWNED BY PABLO ESCOBAR" thing above it or something.

 

[blame space]

Those chicks in that video are hot

How many millions of dollars will be lost because someone in charge said, "the frat bro makes a compelling argument"?

I mean, whats the counter argument? Its 1000% testosterone fueled. You try to fight back with logic you'll be relegated to Millhouse status

Holy shit his live video:

"There's one bar for thousands of people and they don't have beer."

I love how he's begging for help from anyone "but not you, United".
