Ja Rule Has Tried To Deny His Involvement In Fyre Festival & Twitter Has Turned It Into A Hilarious Meme
The fallout created from Fyre Festival continues as a new Netflix doco FYRE: The Greatest Party That Never Happened sheds even more light on the 2017 shitshow co-created by Billy McFarland and Ja Rule.
If you haven’t watched the Netflix doco, then you really need to. Not to overstate this, but it is one of the greatest things I’ve ever watched.
“It’s so stressful to decide which Fyre doc to watch. I won’t watch more than one.”
*30 mins later*
“I could watch infinite Fyre docs until the day I die.”

In the aftermath of the film dropping, while McFarland remains in prison, Ja Rule is out living his best life and doesn’t seem to be thrilled with his part in the documentary.
In a string of tweets, the rapper has tried to distance himself from both McFarland and Fyre Festival, which is contradicted by several scenes in the Netflix movie.
I had an amazing vision to create a festival like NO OTHER!!! I would NEVER SCAM or FRAUD anyone what sense does that make???

Come on your smarter than that… I feel bad for those ppl… but I did not and would never scam ANYONE… period!!! And I don’t care if anyone sympathizes with me or not those are the FACTS!!! ? https://t.co/5WErU3zwF7

However, one tweet has really taken Ja Rule’s denial to the next level and the internet can’t stop laughing.
I too was hustled, scammed, bamboozled, hood winked, lead astray!!!

It’s just the perfect tweet for when you stuff something up so monumentally that all you can do is plead complete ignorance.
Naturally, it’s become Twitter’s new favourite meme.

Ja Rule, my good friend, I think you need to update your vocabulary.
This tweet gradually reveals that Ja Rule is using an 18th century thesaurus https://t.co/nB2MhVqOI6
