Jumo ‘Rubber Waist’ Primo has proven that he is the best in the local soca industry when the 11th Edition of the Carib Soca Monarch was held at the National Park on Saturday evening.
Primo who performed “Unruly” outshone his 14 other rivals thus taking over the monarchy from Kwasi Ace Edmondson who reigned for one year. This is the third time Primo will rule the monarchy with Edmondson in second command.
Former junior calypsonian, Ernesta Nelson has joined the kingdom for the first time as third in command and Melissa ‘Vanilla’ Robertson settled for 4th in command. The best new comer’s award was given to the ‘fireman’, Jory Hector who performed “Whistle.”
Primo walked away with $1.5 million in cash while Edmonson will receive $500,000, Nelson pockets $250,000 and Vanilla will uplift $100,000. The new comer is expected to receive $100,000.
