Infamous Fyre Fest Fraudster Is Working For Trump

Rolling Stone reports:

On June 14, entrepreneur and infamous Fyre Fest organizer Billy McFarland uploaded a photo of himself alongside former president and presumptive 2024 Republican nominee Donald Trump to Instagram. His caption read, “Pres’ birthday featuring your new cabinet.” While that’s not likely to happen, McFarland has played a role in connecting Trump with rappers throughout his campaign — as the Republican seeks to court Black voters.

A source close to Detroit rapper Icewear Vezzo tells Rolling Stone that McFarland reached out to the rapper’s camp and connected him with Trump ahead of the presidential hopeful’s visit to the Motor City. McFarland previously told media personality Angela Yee that he helped link Brooklyn rappers Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow to Trump, which resulted in their appearance at a May campaign rally in The Bronx.

Read the full article. The Trump campaign claims that McFarland, who was the subject of two blistering documentaries, is not an official employee.

Trump’s Justice Department sent Fyre Fest organizer Billy McFarland to jail. Now, he’s helping arrange Trump’s meetings with rappers, sources tell Rolling Stone.

Fun Fact: The rappers Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow, who Trump had on stage, were charged with two counts of conspiracy to commit murder, including a 2020 mass shooting on Folk Nation territory that killed one person and injured five others.
