Fyre Festival fraud: Ja Rule breaks his silence on disastrous music festival

Ja Rule has broken his silence on his shockingly disastrous music festival, Fyre Festival.

The rapper took to Twitter on Friday afternoon to release a statement in response to the uproar over the conditions at the Bahamas-based festival. Earlier on Friday, photos of the disorganized event site went viral after festivalgoers called out the false promises made by the organizers about the luxurious nature of the event.

"We are working right now on getting everyone of the island SAFE that is my immediate concern," he wrote. "I will make a statement soon I'm heartbroken at this moment my partners and I wanted this to be an amazing event it was NOT A SCAM as everyone is reporting I don't know how everything went so left but I'm working to make it right by making sure everyone is refunded." [sic]

"I truly apologize as this is NOT MY FAULT," he continued. "But I'm taking responsibility I'm deeply sorry to everyone who was inconvenienced by this..." [sic]

With trash everywhere and lodging conditions nowhere near what organizers promised, festivalgoers were up in arms over what they arrived to on Thursday night. Blink-182, one of the musical guests slated to perform, pulled out of the gig, saying that they weren't confident in the event.

Fyre Festival has been indefinitely postponed and people who bought tickets are expected to be fully refunded as they fly back to Miami having not seen one performance.
