Bouyon artist Trilla G has issued a statement responding to speculations concerning his recently announced withdrawal from the highly anticipated Ultimate Soca Champion Competition (USC) in Trinidad. According to the statement, there have been several rumors regarding the reasons behind his choice. However, the artist and his management team are keen to set the record straight.
When news broke about his withdrawal, some fans and industry insiders reportedly speculated that Trilla G’s departure from USC was due to a conflict of genres, questioning whether Bouyon music could adequately compete in a Soca-dominated arena. In response, his management team has clarified that the decision was not a reflection of any genre bias but rather a strategic choice made in light of changes in his collaboration team. Any claims to the contrary they have explicitly labeled “entirely false.”
There were also reported murmurs regarding his right to perform the song as a co-creator, but the statement sought to quickly snuff them out by underscoring that all three co-writers have legal clearance to perform the popular piece.
Trilla G had initially seen the USC as a golden opportunity to share his vibrant track “Someone Else” with a larger audience, says the statement. The competition promised to be an exceptional platform for artists to showcase their talents, and for Trilla G, it was also a chance to elevate the Bouyon music genre on a grand stage. However, the statement continues, when his co-collaborators decided to opt out due to personal reasons, Trilla G realized that moving forward without their full support would not do justice to the experience or the performance.
Despite this unexpected turn of events, his team says Trilla G remains undeterred. Rather than slowing down, the artist is redirecting his energy toward upcoming projects and performances. They informed fans to look forward to an exhilarating performance at the “Sunrise” event in Dominica on February 28, where he promises to deliver an unforgettable experience.
