Two things at play here. Yes arrogance, but a sense of IDGAF. If this guy wasn't such a piss poor planner, he would of pulled this off and people would call him a genius. Blind arrogance often leads to getting more shots at life than being afraid timid.

Ja Rule I don't understand why he didn't vet this guy more. They also have an app where you can book acts that seems like it's going nowhere. Why let your name be used by someone with no track record at this point? Does Ja have no money left? Seems like a move a 19 year old rapper would make selling his career for a gold chain.

They sold him a dream of being the next Roc Nation on some pimp sh*t :wow: He was dreaming of models and private jets, now he finna see bunkmates and the yard :wow:

Ja Rule getting drug for this when you know damn well he wasn't in charge of anything. The people behind the scenes probably sold that idea to a bunch of entertainers looking for a name to put out for PR and Ja Rule was the sucker to bite.
Either that or he isn't as dumb as he sounds.

He was a business partner in this venture, people weren't attending due to his name. They were attending due to the artists and what was promised, and the names of relevant celebrities promoting it.

That's the point of having a celebrity attached to something like this fam. You get to take the good and the bad publicity when you attach yourself to something for financial gain and sell your name in essence.

Everyone knows he isn't responsible but he is the most visible and notable party involved hence his whole inclusion. Ja Rule has to know this at this point in his career.

It would be awesome if the case went to one of those black judges and instead of awarding them they clowned them for being privilege brats paying thousands to see Ja Rule

Ain't nobody gonna try and bring that bullshyt to fine ass Faith Jenkins court room.

Joe Brown might whoop their ass for being so stupid. Case instantly dismissed with a :dahell: remixed on the finesse'd face.

The finesse is real...look at the white boy nervous on stage but in his head had the feral dogs and FEMA tents mapped out...


That story is hilarious though. Got finessed by 3 different people out of 2K and a helicopter before even speaking to Ja :heh: I guess he knew he was doing the real scamming all along so it didn't even matter.

Did any part of the festival site feel like a tropical paradise?

No. Not really. It was mostly gravel and grass. There was some sand in front of the stage, but they just dumped it here to make it feel like the beach. But the rest of the island was gravel, dirt and mud. Thank God it didn't start raining.
