The rapper has not been charged with any criminal or civil crimes attached to the Fyre Festival.

McFarland, who pleaded guilty to fraud charges last year and is currently serving a six-year prison sentence, was allegedly paid by Hulu for their production.

Hulu did not issue a statement to ABC News but a spokesperson shared the background that the filmmakers paid McFarland to access footage and interviews in order to give an accurate account of what transpired leading up to the festival.

The competing documentary from Netflix has also come under criticism for its involvement with Jerry Media, the marketing company behind the Fyre Festival video and social media marketing campaigns.

\"We were happy to work with Jerry Media and a number of others on the film,\" Netflix said in a statement to ABC News. \"At no time did they, or any others we worked with, request favorable coverage in our film, which would be against our ethics. We stand behind our film, believe it is an unbiased and illuminating look at what happened, and look forward to sharing it with audiences around the world.\"

ABC News chief legal analyst Dan Abrams said all of the legal action that has been taken surrounding the Fyre Festival is \"all civil [lawsuits] right now.\"

\"A few people in North Carolina have already won a lawsuit, but when you talk about the money that Mcfarland made if he loses a lawsuit, that money could go back to those people anyway,\" Abrams added.

Models, celebrities and influencers, as well as the Jerry Media team who was behind the glamorous promo video, all endorsed the event well in advance of the failed fiasco that lacked suitable lodging, water or food.

Concertgoers paid anywhere from $500 to $12,000 for the experience, but no refunds were issued after the event unraveled.

Ja Rule initially took to social media in April 2017 after the event spiraled downward in an attempt to distance himself from the scandal.

I too was hustled, scammed, bamboozled, hood winked, lead astray!!!

— Ja Rule (@Ruleyork) January 20, 2019

In light of the documentaries, he was met with a fresh batch of criticism -- including being called a \"manipulator\" and \"liar\" by Twitter users.

The music mogul defended himself on Twitter writing, \"I too was hustled, scammed, bamboozled, hoodwinked, lead astray!!!\"
