Josh says Ja Rule’s involvement in Club Cards has been instrumental in its success. The project has sold nearly 700 NFTs so far, according to Josh, and the community is still relatively small - a couple hundred people or so.

The project’s founder and creative director, Josh, is active in the Discord, Hawron says, and seems to have a vision for the future - including another New York trip to see Ja Rule live. Though Hawron’s cards haven’t increased in value since he purchased them, it’s a project he intends to hold on to. “They’re just kind of riding a trend that isn’t sustainable.”īut he feels differently about the handful of Club Cards he holds, purchased for 0.05 ETH (around $150, a steal compared to a Fyre Festival ticket). “With all the NFT stuff, most of it will eventually be worthless,” Hawron says. Some projects end up pittering out, or the creators abandon them - he spent the end of 2021 consolidating the NFTs he owned, mostly selling off tokens for a loss. Hawron says he approaches NFTs with a healthy dose of skepticism - he hasn’t made millions flipping tokens for profit and mostly buys them as a hobby. “With all the NFT stuff, most of it will eventually be worthless.” The couple was put up in a hotel in Times Square and spent the next day shopping, taking pictures, and walking through Central Park. “When we walked back there, he was just like, ‘NFTs!’” “He’s really nice he seems really genuine,” Hawron says about Ja Rule. That night, Hawron and his girlfriend saw Ja Rule perform at Sony Hall and met the artist and his entourage after the show. Communication with Ja Rule’s camp was sporadic and occasionally delayed, but Hawron says he trusted they’d be taken care of. Hawron is someone who likes to have his schedule locked down ahead of time - he wants to know when the flight is, how they’ll get to the hotel, and where they’ll eat. “And they’re like, ‘Is Ja Rule the Fyre Fest guy?’” “I forgot he was like an investor part of that until I told one of my friends about the trip,” Hawron says. Hawron and his girlfriend were scheduled to fly out on a Thursday in January to make it in time for a Ja Rule concert that evening.Īsked if he was nervous about the trip given Ja Rule’s track record of disastrous getaways, Hawron says he didn’t initially make the connection with Fyre Festival.

Paul Hawron, a 22-year-old recent college graduate in Arkansas, was the winner of the first New York trip and had a nice time with his girlfriend, who he brought as a plus one - much more manageable than the 500 festival attendees brought to the island of Great Exuma. ClubCards are your WL pass to the Rascals!!! Coming soon… thanks for all the support!!! ❤️ /GPYSH6h8Nc- Ja Rule February 19, 2022Īpparently, better than Fyre Festival.
