Y’all can say whatever about Dr Umar, but this has been his energy since day 1! Points were made! White ppl need to protest in their communities .. not in ours!!
I recently told my friend that women need to stop being embarrassed when it comes to their experiences with men. We have literally all been through something with somebody’s son & it’s really okay. Self awareness is the only thing that will free the girls & we need to give grace
One thing I don’t do is judge women by their experiences with men. It’s unfortunate that so many women take so long to find their value and walk away from people and situations that don’t serve them well. I just be wishing they find their place in happiness sooner than later!
Exactly!!! Jamaica carnival was started by Trinidadian UWI students maybe 30 years ago. It’s a borrowed idea. Carnival is not Jamaica culture so the think pieces are interesting because most Jamaicans in Jamaica don’t participate. It’s considered an “uptown” ting & IYKYK 🤷🏾♀️
Defund Shanthebrand Kumi & fete travelers. She needs therapy. He needs to get a job because any man who sex 9 girls in a week is unemployed. He is so sickening with his Brazilian bundle faux locs … that husband is her biggest opp & she don’t even realize it…
As someone who got their body done, I stay out of talk critiquing girls with no surgery. I thought this was understood because who am I to talk?! Very disappointed in these “mental health advocates.” Dis cayliss baddd & imagine yall saying ppl being sensitive smh
TC, Tanaania and Quite Perry have sparked conversations online with their recent YouTube video, in which they rated carnival outfits. Social media users believe some of their comments were out of pocket. See video below…
& another thing, why ppl keep making Shan feel like Kumi is this hot boy she didnt deserve? Because he have a 6 pack? What about him give he could do better??!! QUICKLY!!! Because no women with high self esteem would ever look his way & he preys on her low self esteem. I hate it
My last heart break was bad. my friends named the groupchat “Nico’s support group” .. we cried on FaceTime together for days & I started therapy. There is beauty in community especially during a breakup. I will never forget it. I really needed support & they had my back 🫶🏾🫶🏾
Unpopular opinion: some of y’all get too final when y’all argue. At my maddest, I don’t think I ever threatened to kill or wished death on somebody I loved. Idk deal breaker for me ….
I used to empathize with her because I feel like despite what ppl say ..you can tell she is really trying business wise..but what exactly was the point of this interview? It didn’t clear up a thing.. we assumed bad but that podcast made it worse . Like girllllll
Clear your name boo!!! Two of dem is dead wrong & there’s no such thing as being the bigger person in this situation!!! They went low so you have every right to bring it to hell because that’s where di 2 of dem going after what they did to you. Absolutely disgusting!!!
Yall wanted me to shut up and protect this person who scandalizing my name, but that was never me , yall know how Brandie Stewart does get down. Like it or not, I AM A GOOD PERSON AND I AM A GOOD FRIEND AT THE END OF ALL OF THIS.
& I am not hating. Bands are paying her & she is booked! This is just me highlighting that “culture” has left carnival for awhile now. Some of us do it for the love & then there’s this. Culture can’t be compensated. & to love it is to know that. But hey 🤷🏾♀️
I indeed did not mean to disrespect Byron Lee or all other contributors. I was just highlighting it is a borrowed idea which is still true. I’m not fixated on Trinidad neither did I say they influence every island. Are yall ok? Nonetheless, im moving on 😭.
@Tahoe_TV
It’s one tail cut up into pieces if you reallyyy wanna be technical making it one ox-tail. The plural of ox is oxen .. y’all have to stop liking us when it’s convenient for y’all 🙄😒. Stick to the turkey neck in the collard greens if you can’t pronounce it correctly
Makeup Shayla really out here settling for Les (literally).. The day I have to beg a man to marry me .. an UNEMPLOYED MAN at that. Maybe Shayla is embarrassed but it’s better she walks away now because he doesn’t want to marry her & it’s so obvious
Okay guys, I will host the spaces at 7. Anyone wants to join me as a host? Trauma vs traction: Shan the brand. episode 1. There’s a difference with sharing your journey and the lesson … vs using trauma for traction for a viral moment. It’s becoming too much. See y’all at 7
@wimatchapp
Man ah di leasttttt ah mi problem, so mi lef eeddiattt fi have demmmm. Mi too cute to mix up & blend blend, so tell ah gyal she fi guh wid har argument
I’m so annoyed this was posted on follow soca because this didn’t have to go so far. But when you’re tagging me on Instagram 3 times & going live for 3 hours.. somebody in her camp should’ve told her enough 😭. If you read through, I actually wasn’t upset she was making her $$
So I assume this is the issue ppl have with “carnival influencers.” I’m not mad at influencers who get paid now because most of them have used their own funds for years. However, I don’t think this is the case for her. Seems like she just uses her dancing to make $$.
@Latoyah_London
So that’s the issue. Body positivity is a term you give yourself and not others. It almost implies that she thinks something is wrong with her body. It’s an underhanded compliment .. kinda when ppl say to plus size girls “love your confidence”
Listening to old mixes and I must say .. Preedy’s career should be a lot further than it is. I’m not sure if it’s his management or he have personal problems with persons in charge but he has been so consistent for yearsss. Like what is it??!!
All women have a different breaking point & a man not doing anything for your birthday after you went all out for his should be one. I mean he didn’t even book her a massage, or even a lil breakfast in bed. He was at a gun range lol .. WHAT?!
My only regret was saying she’s a carnival influencer. She is a viral dancer who attends carnival as paid. Because our fav carnival influencers who actually help us deserve every coin & then some! Which is why I always engage with their post 🫶🏾🫶🏾
I am taking my unbooked ass to bed. I’m now seeing that I’m an insecure bitch??? Lmaoo 😭😭😭. Me?? insecure?? Yeah time for bed. I have to wake up for the job that will pay me so I can have my carnival money since I’m not booked ☹️☹️🥹🥹
The lala discourse is just funny because it literally doesn’t make sense. I think the argument is valid about culture not being a costume however at no point in history do I remember any women being in a wire bra. A wire bra does not represent the culture.
Unu gyal a WHORE. like real life WHORES, like sell fuck pon boat outta lime cay every sunday WHORE & u might think nobody nuh know but I do. Plz rest the likkle gyal.
Amber I want to believe you’re a lot smarter than this … where’s the comprehension? Me not making the cut? Is this the best analysis you could’ve came up with? Valiant was really right about where y’all sit in class 😭
Idk why my ex decides to leave his cabana to come stand up behind me last night … even had girls recording me.. up to last week this man still calling me from another number. This is why I know the internet is fake because having an ex who will not leave you alone is not a flex
Now you know Ms Kitty was speaking about a very specific situation. She didn’t generalize that at all … she was indeed correct. Most women do have a choice & nobody wants to admit that they picked piss poor fathers for their children.
It’s easy for Miss Kitty to say she could never see herself having a child for certain men, I can make that statement too. Could one of the pregnant girls at the women’s center on Trafalgar Road say that? Ask them how they got pregnant. Most women did not get pregnant by choice.
You can’t compare predatory behavior to a married woman at Val events. Points & explanations have to support each other & this was an underlying reach. It was better to compare genders perhaps but not Cinelli catching a stray unprovoked .. unwarranted. 🫠
It calls for a bigger conversation that carnival is now a marketed cultural business & not a cultural celebration. Who’s fault is that? Ours! We’re paying triple the cost for costumes, buying $200 party tickets & making it very little about actual traditions. BFFR y’all.
Don’t get me wrong.. I have no issue with Tanaania & I do like her content. She probably didn’t mean to be offensive. But the idea of this video could’ve been better executed during actual band launch OR .. she have a top 10 list of who they thought looked the best.
I really hope nobody comes for me about this .. but I really hate how we’ve normalized replica designer & DHgate. There’s so many other alternatives where you can buy for less & look just as nice. I do not understand the replica logic. I wish it wasn’t encouraged so heavily..
Gyallll move from round me bout I deserve everything coming. Mi God bless inna reallll life.. Malicious bitch? The call is coming from inside the house. You actually exposed yourself. This is the most speaking you’ve done & I see why. Comprehension lacks..
One day we’ll have the honest conversation that Jel doesn’t get the credit he deserves. This is because he’s not pushy & don’t hype up in ppl face like the rest of your favs. He should be booked prime time as he contributes to the culture DAILY & not just peak season
@HereForTheTea2
Exactly. But Karma has a funny way of working doesn't it? He used Kat Von D. Manny & Laura used him. Let the cycle continue in the beauty community.
Poor makeupShayla .. & I’ve been following her for years. Not sure where the desperation has kicked in but I hope it stops soon. Literally cringed watching her catch the bouquet & the Instagram captions at a wedding on her birthday 🥴
@Zario____
They recently were on a podcast to talk about their transactional relationship & then marriage (their words not mine) & it is truly heartbreaking that he preys on her low self esteem & trauma. She deserves better
@FullCourtPUMPS
Grief is not a shared experience. So you can get up & go back to work. But several ppl can’t & that’s ok too. I understand as a business woman, you have to carry business out per usual, but it’s just tone deaf to even speak on these things publicly. Corporate Mandi should know
When you & your friends create a zoom meeting to party together for
@jelinthemix
quarantine fete .. let’s just say I fell asleep on the couch because I was so drunk lmaooo 🥳🤪😭 .. can’t believe we had that much funnnnn .. thanks again Jel & we cashapp’d you Lmao!!
& I also think if you’re a carnival influencer, it’s important to inform your audience open& honestly. Especially if they consistently support your content. Believe it or not, your voice contributes heavily to their carnival experience. So yes I do think there’s a responsibility.
You will see me. I’m 5”9 & gorgeous. I’m hard to miss 😍😍. I’m a stallion .. a big bitch .. anything else??? All of this over what you posted. Unnu likkle bit & sad
There’s nothing wrong with holding women accountable when fit & this is one of those cases where she was fully aware of what she was doing. He is 22!!!
Y’all mad at Draya but he’s the one that didn’t pull out.. she didn’t force him to leave it in.. he made that decision
Where’s the harsh words for him? or are we just placing blame on the woman?
Again
Firm believer if you don’t accept the baby, there’s no point in staying together. Kids aren’t responsible for how they got here. & it’s wrong to not accept the child after taking the man back
Was in the car listening to the radio and Wade admitting his son was not a “break” baby and how he tried to break up with G because of the pain it would cause. But she kept coming around…
But still is having a time accepting the son 10 years later…
Exactly one year ago this month, I wrote “Every Body Is A Carnival Body” for
@ELLEmagazine
. It went on to be one of the most read stories for the magazine in 2023, amassing MILLIONS of views globally. I’m posting this today because as a Caribbean community, it’s important to
Honestly, sometimes it is a relief when a person that is unhealthy to you does something so unforgivable because you can finally end and break that cycle and you know it’s a point of no return
@FullCourtPUMPS
This isn’t the point. & I hope that someone you love can express how dense this is. You are smarter & know better than this. Even if it is the truth, it’s unethical to express it in this manner.. contractors or not. You deal with sponsors & you don’t know who you can affect.
@Spocaccino
I actually agree. But do you think it’s only a huge difference when you’re poor/grew up in bad parishes? The quality of life when you live & have money in the Caribbean can be compared to the American lifestyle. Even better than the American lifestyle depends on who you’re asking
& I should’ve chose a better word than defund. I don’t want to affect anyone’s finances… however, we don’t want to be involved in the personal affairs anymore. This is enough
Defund Shanthebrand Kumi & fete travelers. She needs therapy. He needs to get a job because any man who sex 9 girls in a week is unemployed. He is so sickening with his Brazilian bundle faux locs … that husband is her biggest opp & she don’t even realize it…
Honestly, not being able to travel & decompress is really affecting my mental health. I need a TSA line. I need carnival. I need a vacation with sun and unlimited rum. This work, work, work ting nah work out fi me.
Like why would victims of rape be a thought when discussing “choice?” That doesn’t align with her point at all. The ppl are committed to misunderstanding Miss Kitty. This is not the first or 2nd time 🥲
If you want to be technical, our generation has completely loss the essence of culture celebration. When is the last time we (including myself) flew to another country and attended their soca monarch? Dressed in the native dressing? Practiced actual rituals from said place?
Officially started the

bootcamp today! Thank you
@teneikaask_you
for the resource. So far I’m really intrigued about cybersecurity & I think this is really where I fit in
Even if that was the case, you come on the internet to bash your client? Especially in this field?! Furthermore, it probably was already in there. Y’all need to stop becoming entrepreneurs & go clock in FRFR
Idk what’s more sick.. the man taking the picture or you who thought this was a good idea.. This is why I don’t even like those jokes about “my daughter think my man is her man” because wtf does that even mean???!! Something is genuinely wrong with yall. Seek help.
@SincerelyWizana
Thank you for the clarity! I got a few points mixed up. No disrespect ever to Byron Lee or other collective students 🙏🏾. I was just acknowledging it’s not necessarily Jamaican culture
Felt!! But as a recovering do better alone girlie.. you will know when you have a good partner where they reinforce you prioritizing you!! Someone who loves you will keep you consistent .. remember this tweet 🙏🏾❤️
How ironic Riggo didn’t hit back di man because we all know he only have strength for women. He love to bring up ppl wife&baby mother in shit talk. This isn’t the 1st time. He don’t respect his baby mothers so he don’t expect men to respect theirs. Projection perhaps? BIGUP VOICE
Word on the street was that there was an altercation between Riggo Suave and Voice in St Lucia. Allegedly Suave said something out of timing about Voice Child Mother and an altercation occurred on the music truck.

@jelinthemix
Jel you are right. Other customs/cultures belonging to other demographics don’t pick and choose like this. It’s all or nothing for the sake of the culture. I’m sorry but you cant dislike soca but love mas. Mas & soca is the equivalent to a tree & its roots. Both are to align
I want to get to the point in my travel journey that I have distinct travel makeup bag that doesn’t see my home shelf because it literally only comes out when I’m away. The constant pack/unpack annoys me 😭 because ultimately things get left behind
@Euphoriann_
@KrissyLionz
Are ppl aware that a lot of producers & song writers now a days aren’t even from Trinidad? 🙁 Sooo what does that say .. this argument chupidddd
Idk, I think you just pour into these relationships differently. I think a sign of good friend is their encouragement for you to be a good partner & a good partner would want you to be a good friend. Solely pouring into a partner hasn’t worked out for anybody ..
I really don’t mind the same carnival influencers at events because if they can help market, fine ... its business. IT’S really the same DJ’s at the same events that annoy me. They literally play the same mixes for a week straight & feel ppl don’t notice. I AM PPL
As much as I want to go Jamaica .. this is a fact!! I hate how much the Caribbean relies on tourism because di place needs to shut down & not let foreign ppl in
When they say open the flood gates, I think they’re talking about heaven. . .not the borders. Jamaica cannot be a free for all for visitors and expect to keep Covid under control.
