THE widow of five-time Calypso Monarch Leroy “Black Stalin” Calliste is seeking to overturn a default judgment of more than $300,000 after a photojournalist sued her over the unauthorised use of a 2011 photograph of her late husband.

The judgment was granted in February 2025.

Photographer Angelo Marcelle, trading as Trinirazzi HD, filed the lawsuit against Janet Calliste after the image he captured at De Nu Pub in Woodbrook appeared in promotional material for a Black Stalin tribute concert held October 4, 2024, at the Southern Academy for the Performing Arts.
