why is ja rule on this show and not in prison. the audacity
🤷♀️
He’s a rapper everyone worked in the festival knew he have nothing to do with the scam
while his partner have record of being a scammer
Ja rule most likely promoted the festival that was his job
He didn’t know the progress of the situation this why he’s not in jail
Why ask him questions he’s just gonna lie anyways
@@badsolja1 He was a co-founder of the event and he was part of the meetings, in fact one of the documentaries have a video of those meetings.
@Zhed Bs
Did he say let’s scam people and make an easy money ? !
“ co -founder “ is name can be given to anyone, the scammer /his partner wanted a celebrity name that the public trust and know and Ja rule was a big celebrity he used him to promote his scam just like he used all these Instagram model
Do you really think Ja rule can fund a festival to be a co founder
The answer is NO he’s been irrelevant since 2005
Like Use your brain Just a little before you jump into conclusions
This why he’s not convicted There was no evidence against him meanwhile his partner is
People just want to find an opportunity to hate on someone was way more successful than them like you and all these
Idiots in the comment section
The worst victims of that fraud were the locals working all day and night for weeks, and in particular, that Bahamian restaurant owner who was out $50K because she actually paid some of the locals that those idiots never paid. Someone needs to get her that money back (Ja Rule maybe?).
She was repaid 200k from a go fund me. You’re right though, about everything else.
She got her money back and then some thanks to Go Fund me. Granted this was after the fact.
Now she is asking 250.000, that himself become in another scam.
BLM and antifa caused well over 2 billion in damages, burning down countless minority owned small businesses and extorting the rest, wheres the outrage for them, wheres the netflix documentary?
Ja broke af he ain't going to pay 50 bands on someone who actually worked a day in their life
No accountability whatsoever
Worse than what JaRule did to the people coming to Fyre Festival were the thousands of dollars that small businesses never got paid and now those people are completely bankrupt.
So gross.
"This is Merika"
If it was just spoilt rich kids and influencers who got screwed over then I wouldn't care too much. It's the locals I feel sorry for
@@tgmartin true
Who is Jarule, Is it some friend of that fool Billie ?
@@Soccerboiyann while blm and antifa burns down small businesses stfu
He’s having a good fun time while thousands of people got scammed
G M they were rich kids with mum and dads money, couldn’t give a fuck about them. I feel sorry for the local people who got screwed and had to clean all this mess.
Guy well if you have that kind of money to spend you are obviously well off, I’m not saying it’s good, but there are actual world problems out there and they made out like they had lost everything.
@@rakaikereama-thomas2259 non of them were rich! They only had to pay 500-1000 for the tickets, which is good for a 2 week festival with rooms. They were scammed because of the fake ads which were promoted by famous CZcamsrs and a pop singer. Also the only reason people think they rich is because the fucking media lied about the price and said that they had to pay 5000 which is a lie
The people on the island got scammed and lost a lot of money
Rakaihautu Kereama-Thomas what about all the workers on the Island that never got paid?
The fact he’s laughing really says everything about him and the other peanuts who ‘masterminded’ that fiasco.
He’s clearly not to blame for the fraud. Fraud requires intelligence. Intelligent he clearly ain’t.
Why is he laughing? Is he not aware of how much anguish this caused to not only the patrons, but also the Bahamian people who put in all these work hours and never got paid?
Sick
Wasn't involved in it at all it's not like he was a CEO actually playing any work into the fire festival that is the same way as Kendall Jenner just posting it's on Instagram
HE’S GUILTY. HE’S NOT SOLEY RESPONSIBLE BUT HE DEFINITELY SHOULD SHARE THE BLAME.
"Funny" how Ja Rule can laugh freely at how he scammed thousands of people without repercussions.
Yes, some of them were millionaires, but some others were decent people who used their savings or worked hard to finance what they thought would be the best weekend of their lives.
He didn’t scam anyone that’s why he isn’t in prison the person who scammed them is doing time obviously 🙄
They were all stupid.
We should feel sorry for the workers who were exploited, not the rich kids that went
@@vinceleus6091 they sold packages for the Frye festival at prices that matched an all inclusive mexican vacation and much cheaper, so a lot of the kids that went were not actually rich. Literally all you would have needed to buy tickets was a credit card with a $500-$1000 limit. I feel bad for them and the workers who got scammed.
Ja rule is a huge scum bag
"I had the biggest festival in the world.. even tho it never happened"
I got married to Beyonce even tho we never met..
0:49 Andy's head tilt is like, "Stop laughing and answer the fucking question."
True
I don't know whyJa Rule is laughing and guffawing throughout this grilling? It's not funny! People were scammed out of thousands of dollars...yet he is just laughing about it? It's not funny! He is gross.
he did not run the festival ... he was not the CEO. he never controlled the finance or acquired investment or allocated budgets towards anything the festival. That's why the FBI cleared him.. The only thing his responsible for being stupid and misinformed for not handling business as a co partner.. As people of colour we always are looked at certain way even when odds stack against us.. someone like Jordan Belfort stole lots of people money never gets the same accountability even when he has been guilty..
Although all that thirsty "cheesin" for the camera is GROSS...he had zero to do with anything. He could sure use some media training unlike 50 cent who kno how to carry himself on camera.
I don't think Ja Rule realizes nobody liked him *before* the Fyre Festival, now he's pretty much the definition of " a joke" ,,,
C'mon dude,
U clearly won't around when dude was #1 on the charts everytime he dropped an album or track from 99-05....
The fact 50 had beef with him and Eminem got involved was entertained, but to act like a dude with 4x multi Platinum albums who was a mega star back then was "not liked" is nonsense and the fact that young heads are so miseducated on Jarules Reign in hip-hop is due to 50 still keeping the beef alive to blackball him so that people keep this mindset.... Why would 50 troll a nobody?
Dude was on the charts next to Eminem on a Pop-Hiphop Level being his albums were so versatile and different at the time, and same as Em, had gritty albums but a good formula for radio tracks that made them hit even non hip-hop stations.
1 sing songy track with Ashanti on his 2nd album and the label told him to use that formula for album singles being it helped seperate him from DMX, being at the time they were compared due to their voices and being from NY.
But yea, Ja wasn't 2pac or anything, but he was like Nelly and DMX combined, but with more mainstream success than both due to his uptempo singles that were radio friendly, his albums were dark tho, very dark.... The intros of his first 3 album for example...
@@tonynorris1506Ja was never the biggest. Eminem, DMX and Jay-Z were his competition. Then 50 came to end him and Ja got crazy and decided to beef a lot of dudes that had nothing to do with his beef. After that it was over.
“I had the biggest festival in the world, but it didn’t happen” yet also says “I had nothing to do with it”
This is why you failed
Yep. Caught in an epic lie.
Ja Rule is so slow - laughing when nobody is and thinking he is liked for Fyre
Yup I do that fake laugh
Andy seems a bit annoyed
I hate Ja Rule after this documentary
I never liked him but this just cemented my opinion
@@AirQuotes
I agree! big mouth, big ego. Guys a waste of human space.
She sipped that drink and shot a side eye so quick when he said “When people think I’ve committed a crime.”
Man 50 was always right homie a whole chump 💀
I don’t understand how he got off with absolutely no penalty. I feel so sorry for the people of the island that never got paid. He has enough money to cover for that. He has to live with that. It’s evil.
I don't understand it either, it's so sad.
After the FBI investigated, Ja Rule didn’t handle any of the logistics and none of the transactions/funds was handled by him..
So the FBI can’t get you for wire fraud if your not receiving any of those funds.. Billy fooled everyone that was involved, even his business partners.. it’s possible.. just like it’s possible to get Kyle Jenner to promote that same fraudulent festival.. she’s a model and she got paid for a commercial, she has no legal obligation to audit the companies financials and business plan as a advertiser.
Unless they can prove she and everyone anyone who was Involved knew what Billy was doing, could they indite them.
Hes got that nervous laughter thing down pat
I don’t understand how he didn’t get charged anything like Billy. He was in it.
"I have the biggest festival in the world. Even though it never happened."
Turn those lemons into piss, Ja Rule.
Joe Pesci's Character from GoodFellas should be the Interviewer. "You think this is funny? Funny how? Do i amuse you?"
Can’t believe he’s laughing
And this clown just keeps laughing...smh
He be laughing too hard nervously over all that controversy
He deserves every bit of ridicule he gets
Ja Ridicule
That entitled sociopath should be behind bars, not on tv
Andy propping up Ja is gross
Birds of a feather
“Hahaha I got away with it.”
Anyone know the name of his sunglasses?
I was just watching a 50cent short...before this I NEVER heard of Fyer Festival🙄😭
He catches it for that debacle too. A brief glance at his twitter feed will show you. He can’t talk about anything without people bringing it up. Good
I like how he just starts nervously laughing because he knows he has no defence but then continues to just laugh it off and treat it as a joke. And why did that woman speak for him? The most insincere 'right answer' ever.
when somebody from staff told him they committed fraud he answer they didnt they just didnt deliver the promises xD
“I had nothing to do with it” - then later on in the video when asked why he would try to have another one, “I have the biggest festival in the world!” - give me a break. He should have to pay back the people who were scammed.
my grandma really loved yaRule.
"Welp it wasn't my fault" No other human being could be the CEO & owner of business and just throw their hands up as if they weren't apart of the events that transpired.
I used to think 50 Cent was just a petty bully to Ja Rule… but naa.. I totally get now why he hates him😂... Dude is a whole clown.. take some kind accountability for the incident jeez
Ja rule is just washing his hands sayin he had no part in it but if he didnt show his face for this dude it wouldnt have gotten as far as it did in the first place so its his fault too
Risk and Reward .. Billy cops the risk, JaRule gets the reward 🏄
Don't trip, Billy will be out soon, throwing parties. Free da bros.
@@chairmanoftheboard11 Don’t forget to buy tickets. Da Bros will happily take your money again.
@@contenteater 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. I won’t, but people will.
Suggestion for the new festival: put ham in the sandwiches
😂😂😂Greatest Scam Ever😂😂😂
How did he not know?
Ja Rule is just as responsible as Billy
Ja is a special kid.
He’s not exactly talking to a rocket scientist in there. I would imagine that conversation would have to be made with a lot of illustrious, hand gestures & objects to get him to follow along somewhat. Like an old president he had before.
WHERE ARE U BRO????
It seems to me like Ja Rule made the mistake of trusting the wrong people with his vision and didnt do enough to put a stop to everything when he knew it wasnt going to work. Billy actually lied to investors and customers which is the definition of fraud so he's getting what he deserves. Let's be honest on paper fyre fest sounds amazing if it had gone down right, but it's not realistic, only the very wealthy would be able to afford it. Ja Rule's actions are definitely shady but not illegal. But he's crazy if he thinks anyone will trust him again. I would definitely feel different about him if he'd admit "i screwed up and i feel horrible about it" but he seems to be taking the approach of "not my fault".
Technical question: how is false advertising not fraudulent?
It's not like he knew that it was happening he was somewhere else when it happened
I don't know what is worst. Ja Rule not been in jail, or people take Ja Rule serious...
I saw the documentary. The only folks I'm worried about are Bahamas workers who didn't get paid, smaller businesspeople like that restaurant owners.
Ja Rule.. LOL
All respect has been lost for this guy
Salute Ja!!!
Ja Rule, on the documentary, Real talk we spending a lot of money here we can do what we want.
He should be now sharing prison cell with Billy. Watching this and immediately coming to my mind back "who let the dogs out" song !!! 😡
He fucking laughs as innocent towns people still have not gotten paid! Felt so badly when I watched that. They worked so hard for this sham event.
I'm telling you, billy a d ja rule had something going on 👊👊👊
Honestly I’m not gonna feel bad for people that get screwed at the next festival
Could Someone *PLEASE* Get Ja On The Phone So I Can Make Sense Of All This!?.... *WHERE...IS JA!?*
I hope Ja rule can't put his name on toothpaste!
Fyre festival 2022. This time it’s on “cruise ships” sinking in shark infested waters during a tropical storm. The meals better this time you get fried bologna and sardine sandwiches.
He must have had the absolute best lawyers
Why is he laughing?
He should be in ja-il too
Why he's not the CEO or anything
just because nobody else would host JR doesn't mean you have to
Hey Ja Rule, how about you pay that restaurant owner sister in the Bahamas who spent 50K of her savings to reimburse her workers *and* some of the workers who pitched the tents and poured the sand for the Fyre sh:tshow? 50K is peanuts to you man. That's the least you could do make things right a little.
Wow no kind of compassion for the locals that never were paid he can just sit there and laugh.
Funny thing is they made more money from documenting it's failure then they ever would have made if it was successful.
Hahahaha i'm a criminal hahahahahahahaha.
Technically he is not
Looks like he's STILL upset that Slim Charles cost him money by killing Cheese.
how did he completely escape from prison?
With the 5 brain cells he has, maybe we shouldn't give him credit for orchestrating a scam of that magnitude.
“I committed a crime”. Get him in jail.
If the festival event turns out to be fraud, then it is not the biggest event, it is a disaster JA!
It's amazing how delusional some famous people can be, he needs some serious reality check!
Its funny he laughs but on the netflix he is yelling talking about fake advertisements almost like he made everyone guilt trip to help them get out of a situation
Who is that next to him, his publicist?
why is he being interviewed and not in jail !!!
Looks like Ja Rule feeded the ignorance on the other guy who's in jail.
i dont understand. He used his influence to back the project, is not that he was involved in the finances or anything . Why y'all want him in jail so much?
yeah same
A lot of people lost a lot of money, and the people who went to his event had a very scary and horrible experience. But Ja has a good attitude about it, sometimes you just got to laugh it off.
So he’s either lying now OR his word and his name are both worthless
Ja rule is just as guilty as Billy. Can't tell me someone as egotistical as Ja Rule didn't encourage Billy to run with a lot of the unrealistic/stupid ideas that were falsely advertised. Hyping up every little thing they were doing on the island as something to be sold.
This man is the biggest gangster Ever
jarule is at a point in his life that he doesnt care to be the weasel!! 50 ended his carreer back then hahaa but now he talks about 50 just so that he stays in the media.. smh hes the worst of the weasels.
Didn't realize ja rule was short as hell. And what in the actual fuck is on his feet?
Ja Rule did damage his reputation........no doubt
So, I guess I'll never be doing business w Ja Rule
Funny how he’s still trying to act like it’s not a scam
Why is he smiling through all of this?
How is this guy still in the business or not behind bars?
Man knowing theres pieces of shit out here who will fuck over anyone and everyone for a dollar is sickening. He doesn’t want to watch it because his conscience would eat him alive seeing those small businesses go down the drain. He may not have committed a crime but he sure as hell dipped his toes in the water.
Why is he not in prison? And why are people smiling about him?
All Fyre fest survivors need to unite
ja rule is a really bad guy
Man, this is the type of dude why decapitation was a legal punishment back in those good old english days.
You all need to leave Ja Bull alone! If it wasn't for him, the supermodels wouldn't be able to play with pigs. Which we all know is very very important.
How outstanding is It he has the same shoes on as he did when he started his scam with billy McMuffin
