Give us $100M for Fyre fiasco

THE CATASTROPHIC Fyre Festival was worse than just a scam — it was “The Hunger Games” in the Bahamas, a $100 million federal lawsuit says.

A class-action suit from furious festivalgoers accuses the organizers — including Queens-bred singer Ja Rule — of luring them to an island hellhole that offered false promises, little food and no easy way out.

Ja Rule (photo) and co-organizer Billy McFarland allegedly knew the festival would be a failure — and warned their famous friends not to attend, while leaving customers to fend for themselves.

“The festival’s lack of adequate food, water, shelter and medical care created a dangerous and panicked situation among attendees — suddenly finding themselves stranded on a remote island without basic provisions — that was closer to ‘The Hunger Games’ or ‘Lord of the Flies’ than Coachella,” says the suit filed Sunday in California by the suit’s only named plaintiff, Daniel Jung.

The organizers’ “outrageous failure to prepare,” the suit says, “demonstrates that the Fyre Festival was nothing more than a get-rich-quick scam from the very beginning.” The supposedly posh music festival was billed as a high-end getaway, complete with “world class” cuisine and luxury living in villas, all on an island falsely billed as once belonging to drug kingpin Pablo Escobar.

But the festival went down in flames Friday before it even began.

“Thousands” of patrons who paid between $1,200 and $100,000 for tickets, according to the suit, ended up in shabby tents and dining on small servings of bread topped with slices of cheese.

The suit says Ja Rule — real name Jeffrey Atkins — and McFarland publicly lied about nearly every element of the festival, despite promoting it for months. The two reached out to celebrities in advance and warned them not to attend because the event would be “outrageously unequipped and potentially dangerous for anyone in attendance,” the suit says.

No such warning came for the fans, who found themselves stranded on a desert island for hours — “a situation tantamount to false imprisonment,” court papers say.

Reps for Ja Rule and McFarland could not immediately be reached.
