Ja Rule has just been hit with a second lawsuit related to his Fyre Festival. The proposed "luxury weekend" was supposed to go down on a private island in the Bahamas in April, but quickly descended into chaos and had to be cancelled after one day.
Guests who paid anywhere from $1000 to $100,000 to attend were promised first class accommodations and performances by Lil Yachty, Migos, G.O.O.D. Music, Major Lazer and Blink 182.
When revelers started arriving on Thursday, April 27, they were greeted by "soggy tents, bad food and general disappointment verging on panic," according to the New York Times.

TMZ reports that Ja, born Jeffrey Atkins and business partner Billy McFarland are on the hook for a $3 million loan they took out 18 days prior to the festival.
EHL Funding claims the pair were supposed to make weekly payments, but stopped after forking over just under $900,000.
EHL says the two are now in default and is suing them for the money owed, plus interest.
As we previously reported, McFarland and Ja were hit with a lawsuit by a concert goer earlier this month, who believes the festival was a get-rich-scam.
