A music festival in Belgium featuring major stars like rapper Cardi B came to a chaotic end before it had even started. Security concerns were apparently the reason behind the cancellation of the VestiVille festival on Friday, though local officials have launched a fraud investigation. The Fyre Festival was meant to be a music blowout in a luxurious setting on a Bahamian island. Rapper Ja Rule, a co-founder of Fyre Festival, was to perform on Saturday at VestiVille. — VestiVille (@VestiVille) June 28, 2019Billy McFarland, 26, Fyre’s co-founder, was sentenced last October in a federal court in Manhattan to six years in prison.
