'Heartbroken' Ja Rule says festival disaster that left attendees stranded after spending up to $12,000 is 'NOT MY FAULT'

Fyre Festival is an unmitigated disaster, and Ja Rule refuses to take responsibility.

Fyre Festival is an unmitigated disaster, and the rapper Ja Rule does not want to be blamed.

What was supposed to be a three-day all-inclusive luxury music festival in the Bahamas, with tickets up to $12,000, has collapsed under its own weight, with acts and caterers pulling out, a lack of adequate infrastructure on the private beach, and problems with transportation both on and off the island.

Now people who were promised a luxury experience are turning to the festival's owners — Ja Rule and entrepreneur Billy McFarland, the cofounders of Fyre Media — for answers. Fyre is an on-demand booking app.

In a statement on Twitter, Ja Rule said that the incident in the Bahamas was "not my fault."

Twitter users asked early Friday morning where Ja Rule had been, via the hashtag #whereisjarule. One user said Ja Rule performed in Chicago on Thursday night, before Fyre Festival was scheduled to begin, fueling speculation he had not even made it to the island festival.
