AHEAD of the Ultimate Soca Champion competition on February 20, the show's promoter and organiser Jerome “Rome” Precilla gave a stern warning to finalists against dropping out of the competition at the last minute.

“We have already put in our two reserves into the final and what we have seen in the semifinal is some people withdrawing from the competition two days before,” he complained.

Neil “Iwer” George withdrew from the semifinals a mere two days before it was held. Three days before that, Trinidad Killa also withdrew owing to not being able to perform virtually.
