Would you spend $4000 to enter Hunger Games? Well, these festival hype beast did and they're instantly regretting their decision.
Fyre Festival— a luxury music festival organized by Ja Rule and Billy McFarland taking place in the Bahamas— ended before it began. Tickets cost between $4000 to $12000 to see artists like Blink 182, Migos, Ja Rule, Major Lazer and more. According to multiple reports, the festival which was supposed to take place on a private island was a nightmare. As concert goers arrived at the festival grounds, there were no staff, members of security, feral dogs running around on grounds, and no tents set up.
Though the festival has officially been cancelled and scrubbed their social media, attendees are threatening a class-action lawsuit as the festival is not giving refunds.

When Black Twitter got wind of the #FyreFestival, we did what we do best, went ham:
Is Ja Rule the new Robin Hood?
Me watching this #FyreFestival situation play out just to realize Ja Rule scammed white kids & donated money to help feed NYC's homeless. pic.twitter.com/F73bEuuhe8
