While his Fyre Fest business partner Billy McFarland does his time in prison, rapper Ja Rule is out living his truth, which ー as it turns out ー might include a revival of a Fyre Fest-like event.
TMZ caught Ja Rule at the Los Angeles airport, where he told the gossip site his new booking platform Iconn ー which is similar to the original Fyre booking app that the disastrous event was initially meant to launch ー will probably have its own festival.
Iconn "is kind of similar to what the app was, but you've got to understand, the app was ... separate from the festival," he said, adding that Fyre Fest was the "most iconic festival that never was."
"I have plans to create the iconic music fest ー but you didn't hear it from me," he added before dashing off.
He wasn't entirely unrepentant, however, calling the festival "heartbreaking," adding that "in the midst of chaos there's opportunity."
If it seems as though Ja Rule hasn't learned his lesson, it could be because he hasn't watched the two rival documentaries on Netflix ($NFLX) and Hulu dedicated to the high-profile millennial misadventure. When asked if he ever will, he said, "maybe one day."
"I lived it, man, I ain't got to watch it," he added.
