JAKARTA - It has been two years since the bitter Fyre Festival happened. Initiated by Billy McFarland and rapper Ja Rule, this festival is said to be the worst of the decade. Based on these events, Ja Rule released a new track titled For Your Real Entertainment on December 13 yesterday. If shortened, this sentence will form the word FYRE.
Using samples of The Show tones from Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick, in this track Ja Rule seems to want to explain the participation of what happened in the Fyre Festival in his own way. This three-minute song puts a promoter in front of the audience who comes to the Fyre Festival. The lyrics imply the Fyre incident which also made it difficult for Ja Rule as a promoter.
“Hotter than the sun, but it wasn't that. Show of hands if you got your money back? Just playing, I got sued for that. 100 miles to be exact "
The lyric fragment above tells Ja Rule to accept demands of up to 100 million US dollars for the incident. Ja Rule and Billy McFarland were reported on suspicion of fraud against customers who had paid tickets for 4-12 thousand US dollars. But Ja Rule considers himself innocent and is the loser.
The song FYRE was released right after Ja Rule was released from lawsuits regarding the Fyre Festival last November. A judge rejected the $ 100 million lawsuit filed by the audience against Ja Rule, McFarland and the people behind the festival. After being acquitted of prosecution, Ja Rule's attorney, Ryan Hayden Smith stated that this decision was none other than Ja Rule's full justification, quoted from AllHipHop.
After releasing FYRE, Ja Rule reported that he was working on a new album. Initially, the album, titled 12.Twelve.XII, was scheduled to come out on December 12, but a number of things happened recently to make this album available to the public only on February 29, 2020.
Looking back. Viewers' expectations filled with beautiful views of the Bahamas Island, artists and tv personalities who will join the party, until five-star culinary offerings turn into nightmares when they don't get what they see in the promotional materials for the Fyre Festival organizers. In addition, several performers canceled appearing on the day of the event.
Several spectators who attended the Fyre Festival shared the chaos they experienced while on Bahama Island, namely inadequate transportation and food that was not as promised. The wreck of this festival inspired Netflix and Hulu to make a documentary.
