Was Fyre Festival the most iconic festival that never happened?
Festival co-founder Ja Rule certainly thinks so, and he might be right, though "iconic" might be a questionable word in this case. In a new sneak peek of the premiere of Growing Up Hip Hop: New York, Ja Rule's kids Brittney and Jeff are really not so sure about their dad's plans to do a second festival, capitalizing on the failure of the first festival. (In case you forgot: it was a mess.)
"I'm nervous about my dad recreating another festival," Brittney says. "It does make my heart drop to my stomach. I feel like it could get very messy very quickly, and it can go really bad."
She and her brother fully planned to attend the festival until they woke up to the news of the festival's demise being the number one story.
Jeff says people were showing him memes at school and Brittney worries about her image being ruined by her connection to her dad and a second potentially disastrous festival, but Ja Rule's got some wisdom to share with his kids.
"I will say this: You can't always control in life what happens," he says. "You can control how you react to it, and the outcome of that. We here, we doing the f--k we doing. Iconic Fest here we come baby!"
So get ready for Iconic Fest, apparently? Watch the full clip below!
