CHUTNEY singer Kenneth Supersad says he is exploring legal options over last year’s Chutney Soca Monarch and the paying of prize monies. He said the first place winner got $400,000 but he got $75,000 for placing second in last year’s competition.
In a telephone interview on Wednesday, Supersad also expressed surprise at not being selected for the finals of this year’s competition which will be held on February 10 at Skinner Park, San Fernando.
Supersad said he has been a regular in the Chutney Soca Monarch for many years and feels he was being treated unfairly this year.
“The first prize was $400,000 and I came second and only got $75,000. That is a very big gap,” he said. Media reports on last year’s competition said the first place winner got $400,000, second place, $75,000, and third place, $50,000.
He said he compared the prize structure of other competitions including the Trinbago Unified Calypsonians Organisation’s (TUCO) Calypso Monarch competition. Several posts on social media also raised questions about last year’s competition. Read More
