Ja Rule has once again apologized to all those who paid thousands of dollars to attend the disastrous Fyre Festival this past weekend. Having already clarified that the event was "NOT A SCAM" after the festival went viral for all the wrong reasons, Ja Rule tweeted yesterday (April 30) to confirm that the last of the guests had left Great Exumas in the Bahamas. He added that all ticket holders are now in a position to apply for a refund.
Relieved to share that all guest are safe, and have been sent the form to apply for a refund. Our deepest apologies... #fyrefestival

Similarly, an apology from the Fyre Festival team was tweeted out on Sunday evening. “We're heartbroken that we let down all the guests who put their faith in us,” the statement reads. “To our guests and staff—thank you again for your all patience as we navigate our next steps. We owe you an apology.”
#FyreFestival is a dream & vision we poured our hearts & souls into creating, 2017 fell dramatically short of even modest expectations
