Veteran calypsonian Queen Victoria has issued a legal warning to the Trinbago Unified Calypsonians’ Organisation (TUCO) over its handling of her dispute of the results of the 2025 National Calypso Monarch semifinals.

She is alleging unfair treatment and procedural failures by TUCO.

In a pre-action letter sent by her attorneys Joel Roper and Skeeta John, Victoria Cooper-Rahim, who has performed under the name "Queen Victoria" for over 25 years, claims that TUCO wrongfully rejected her request for a review of her scores. She argues that TUCO’s Adjudication Review Committee improperly dismissed her dispute resolution form, despite delays that were caused by the unavailability of TUCO officials.
