Hip hop and Fyre Festival documentary legend Ja Rule "CURSED" the Minnesota Timberwolves early Sunday morning, hours after delivering a performance that lit up social media during halftime at a Milwaukee Bucks game against Minnesota.
Ja Rule took center court Saturday to perform during the Bucks’ "90s night." The “Always Be On Time” rapper -- who helped develop and promote the ill-fated and much-mocked Fyre Festival -- got off to a bad start, however.

Technical issues delayed Ja Rule’s performance and then, when it did get started, Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo was seen warming up with some other teammates for the second half.
The difficulty around Ja Rule’s performance sparked jokes on social media -- led by the Timberwolves. The team's account, using a quote from the rapper about the pair of popular Fyre Festival documentaries that were recently released, wrote: “We too were hustled, scammed, bamboozled, hood winked, lead astray.”

The rapper wrote: "You just jinx yourself talking to the GOD this way...your CURSED NOW!!! You won't win a championship for the next 30 years... AND KAT IS LEAVING!!! Apologize and I'll lift the CURSE!!! kiss of death..."
