Everything
Late last week, both Hulu and Netflix dropped their documentaries – Fyre and Fyre Fraud – which took viewers behind the scenes of one of the biggest disasters of 2017. Promoted by the likes of Bella Hadid, Hailey Baldwin and Emily Ratajkowski, Fyre Festival promised to be the world’s most immersive music festival, situated on the Great Exuma in the Bahamas. But quickly, the event fell apart with fingers pointing towards its two co-founders.
Organised by Billy McFarland – behind bars for several counts of fraud – and Ja Rule, the rapper has now spoken out in a long line of Twitter rants, blasting the two streaming services. Scroll below for what he had to say for himself.
I love how ppl watch a doc and think they have all the answers… 🤦🏾♂️

In light of the documentary, a Go Fund me page was set up by one woman who catered for the displaced masses. She never saw a pay day for Fyre which plunged herself into crippling debt, now, her outcry has raised almost $150,000 in seven days.
