And because nobody does it like Ja Rule, the rapper has gone ahead and started planning another music festival.
“It is the most iconic festival that never was,” Rule said of the disastrous Fyre Festival, an event so awful it became a viral sensation and the topic of two popular documentaries.
The rapper confidently added: "I have plans to create the ICONNic music festival," referring to his new app ICONN, which will connect celebrity booking agents with regular people.
Rule also said he has not watched either the Hulu or Netflix documentaries, saying: “It’s not funny to me man, it’s heartbreaking. It was something that I really wanted to be special… and it just didn’t turn out that way.”
While Rule may not find the event funny, Seth Rogen and The Lonely Island are looking to make a comedy film about a music festival that goes "horribly wrong".
