Ja Rule has some ‘splainin’ to do!
Fans are labeling the Put It On Me singer’s Fyre Festival a total hoax as the “luxurious” getaway in the Bahamas is not living up to expectations. Reports of chaos at the fest began trickling in on Thursday, when ticket-holders arrived at (what appeared to be) an unfinished campsite. Apparently, the upscale “cabanas” promised to the attendees were actually just disaster relief tents.

Oh, and don’t even get us started on the food. It’s said the guests were given slices of bread with cheese for dinner. Say it ain’t so.
Don’t believe us?? Ch-ch-check out what some people on the ground posted to Twitter about the fest:
So Fyre Fest is a complete disaster. Mass chaos. No organization. No one knows where to go. There are no villas, just a disaster tent city. pic.twitter.com/1lSWtnk7cA

This is how Fyre Fest handles luggage. Just drop it out of a shipping container. At night. With no lights. #fyrefestival pic.twitter.com/X5CdZRyJWo

Then, later in the evening, headliners Blink-182 canceled their scheduled performance as they defended that they couldn’t guarantee “the quality of performances we always give fans.” What a mess.
We don’t blame the ticket-holders for being pissed about the poor conditions as they supposedly spent anywhere between $1,000 to $12,000 to attend the fest. Eek.
The drama didn’t stop there as the festival faced another issue when planes scheduled to depart Miami for the new event were grounded. Reportedly, airline representatives told festival-goers that the island was over capacity. The Fyre Festival has since released a statement on Instagram about the chaotic situation (below).
Sucks to suck. Of course, many people have since DRAGGED the fest over this crazzzzzy situation as several people on Twitter teased:
You paid $12k to go see Blink-182 headlined festival hosted by Ja Rule in 2017?!?!?!?!? #fyrefestival pic.twitter.com/QcYj2z67vf

HIGHlarious! Although, we bet Ja Rule and festival co-creator Billy McFarland are kicking themselves right about now…
