Fyre Fest, a luxury music festival created by rapper Ja Rule, was set to take place in the Bahamas this weekend with headlining sets from G.O.O.D. Music, Blink-182, Migos, Lil Yachty, and more. But the event was postponed on Friday amidst reports of "mass chaos" and unpreparedness from festival organizers. Following the incidents, Ja Rule has issued an apology statement on Twitter.

I don't know how everything went so left but I'm working to make it right by making sure everyone is refunded ... I truly apologize as this is NOT MY FAULT ... but I'm taking responsibility I'm deeply sorry to everyone who was inconvenienced by this."
