After nearly causing a humanitarian crisis amongst the pretty peeps that attended his aborted Fyre Festival, convicted fraudster and douchebag Billy McFarland seems to be at it again.

According to Paper Magazine, the con man recently tweeted that Fyre Festival II was in the works, and with a blerrie cheek asked his followers (who are you people?) to tell him why they should be invited.

It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad for all the people he screwed over with his first attempt.

🔥 Fyre Festival II is finally happening.

Tell me why you should be invited.

Not only was Emily Ratajkowski to Kendall Jenner left with egg on their face as they tried to explain away their involvement with the disaster, but professional bigmouth and potato look-alike Ja Rule was also left looking like a poephol.

Set to take place in the Bahamas for two weekends in April and May, the luxury music experience was promoted heavily by influencers ranging from Emily Ratajkowski to Kendall Jenner, most of whom also didn’t disclose they were paid to do so.

If you haven’t seen the Netflix doccie yet, and think we are being a tad too mean to this bunch of shiny posers, check it out and then join the Billy-is-a-crook tribe.

To recap, Billy and Ja Rule blew most of their budget on the promotional video that featured beautiful women having the time of their life on an island touted to have belonged to Pablo Escobar. Influencers also jumped at the chance to influence other influencers and gain more influence.

However, once the ‘festival to end all festivals’ actually happened it was on some other island and the festival grounds were pretty much a parking lot with FEMA tents and some scattered port-a-loos.

Instead of luxury villas, attendees were provided FEMA tents. Celebrity chef-made meals were replaced with cheese sandwiches. Luggages were lost, there was a lack of medical attention and security was very aggressive.

Considering the reputation this charlatan has after his dodgy dealings were revealed, I suspect he will have a hard time finding anyone to invest in his crazy scheme, never mind leasing a venue to him. He might have to settle for the parking lot at Malmesbury’s sewerage plant. There’s a lot of space and it already smells like Ja Rule’s music.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, you are probably Billy McFarlane’s follower on Twitter.
