VINDICATED. That's what newly crowned South Calypso Monarch 2025 Kyle “KC” Cowie said he feels after being omitted from Calypso Fiesta semifinals but whipping several who competed to win the coveted title on February 27.

Cowie, who placed second in the Young King's 2025 competition also defeating “about 10 to 12” Calypso Fiesta contenders, said he was hurt when he was omitted from the 40, plus one reserve, who qualified for the TUCO-run contest held at Skinner Park on February 22.

Believing he had a good, strong social commentary on crime, and an equally good showing on the night the judges adjudicated on him at the Classic Russo Tent, he felt let down when he did not qualify.
