While Fyre Fest founder Billy McFarland continues to serve time behind bars, the man who co-conceived the catastrophic festival, Ja Rule, is having a little fun with it on new track, “FYRE.”
According to an Instagram post from the Queens rapper, “FYRE” in this case stands for “For Your Real Entertainment.” Rather than mulling over the ill-fated festival, Ja parodies the backlash he received for his involvement.
“The record was made to be FUN,” Ja exclusively told Page Six. “I’m an ARTIST and artists write through their pain. It’s therapeutic, it’s what keeps us SANE.”
“The fest, the festival is on fire/ We don’t need no water, make that motherf—ker hotter,” he raps over the instrumental to Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick’s 1986 track “The Show.” “Hotter than the sun, but it wasn’t that/ Show of hands if you got your money back?/ Just playing, I got sued for that/ 100 mil to be exact.”
