Benjai supports Mr. Killa’s decision to withdraw from International Soca Monarch

Trinidadian Soca artiste Benjai is chiming in with support for Mr. Killa. 

Benjai jumped on his Facebook live to give words of reasoning relating to the drama surrounding reigning Soca King Mr. Killa and the operations of the International Soca Monarch. 

Benjai believes that Trinis should begin to see the International Soca Monarch as truly an international event and not just a national one, with the winner defending in his own country. 

He also said that Grenada has the best carnival right now. The artiste, who claimed to receive these messages from the ancestors after meditating, believes that no other Soca monarch compares to those in Grenada and St. Vincent and the international competition held in Trinidad needs a lot of work in order to be at an elevated standard that is fair to artists. 

Benjai’s words of support comes days after Mr. Killa withdrew from defending his title at the International Soca Monarch 2020 due to lack of access to tools needed to effectively compete.
