Popular DJ and soca artiste, Shal Marshall says he’s not that close with Derek “Mr Slaughter” Pereira to comment on the situation that  currently looms over the Xcaliber sound boy , a situation that was blown up across social media networks and drive time talk shows yesterday. Slaughter, once a very prominent force in the local entertainment fraternity, having made a name for himself as the head honcho of the Xcaliber sound, found himself in hot water on Saturday when he was arrested and charged with the assault of his spouse and mother of his children, Axia Pereira. Initial reports prior to the DJ’s appearance in court yesterday, left many speculating, as news reports simply stated that a popular DJ and artiste who is married was arrested on the charge. Some were quick to call Shal Marshall’s name. To that, Shal told ETCETERABUZZ, “I’ve heard it all and I just don’t have the time to give people the satisfaction of commenting.”

Derek Pereira known best as Mr. Slaughter has been the topic of discussion. He has been charged with domestic assault.

The situation has certainly raised a hornet’s nest of rage and emotion as people have been quick to give their take on Slaughter’s past and present. For Shal, it’s just a situation where some urban frequencies have used the revelation to air their thoughts and conspiracy theories. “Survey coming up so you know- Dog has given people something to talk about,” he said matter- of- factly. He was referring to the upcoming media survey in Trinidad and Tobago, which often sees radio stations battle aggressively by offering listeners big promotional giveaways and other perks, to tune in. Of course, controversy also sells, so it’s understandable why Marshall would make such a statement.

He told us this situation simply shows the vulnerability of persons who are in the spotlight- prominent figures such as himself. “If this were a normal man, nobody would have been talking about it. Domestic violence is something very serious but because it’s Slaughter, this is getting a lot of publicity,” he said. Shal returned from Canada yesterday to the news. He had traveled with Super Jigga TC and 96.1FM DJ XBass. Urging men to ‘man up’ and discuss domestic violence among there peers with a goal to finding proper solutions to their problems, Marshall said these discussion are engaged in all the time, in his circle. “This is a very sad thing and very unfortunate. Nobody’s relationship is perfect. If we cannot work on it, let’s separate… but then again, I could talk about it like that but sometimes it’s not that easy- not that simple,” Marshall said, trailing off.

Yesterday, Pereira pleaded not guilty to the charge and was granted bail in the amount of $5000.

Canadian rapper, Drake is once again teaming up with Caribbean entertainers, delivering a brand new album called, ‘Maid of Honor,’ which is now available on all streaming platforms. It was one of three albums the artiste simultaneously dropped on May 15th – the other two being ICEMAN and HABIBTI.

Rapper, Drake has released three new albums simultaneously.

One of the singles on ‘Maid of Honor,’ called ‘BBW’ features the work of Trinidad and Tobago entertainer, Denise ‘Saucy Wow’ Belfon – her 1998 track, ‘Work.’

The lyrics, ‘Put Yuh Back in It’ became a trending expression on TikTok in 2020 when it became a challenge on the popular platform. That viral opportunity six years ago, led to the song’s resurgence and Belfon’s name being called by younger generations whose parents, aunts and uncles would’ve more than likely grown up on her music and performances in the Caribbean. Fast forward to 2026, and Belfon is once again enjoying a viral moment as news broke that her song had been sampled by Drake. “Everything is legitimate and I want to thank the team – Fabian Alfonso, a copyright specialist out of Trinidad and Tobago ; He was very instrumental in making this deal become reality, said Belfon in a chat with Ebuzztt, before expressing gratitude to several other instrumental people, and Drake’s OVO team.

In 2022, dancehall artiste, Shenseea and rapper, Megan Thee Stallion also sampled ‘Work’ on the single, ‘Lick.’ Belfon, who lives in New York, had, at that time, attended a release party at a nightclub in New York, where Shenseea acknowledged the Soca artiste’s influence on the new release.

The Maid of Honor album delivers 14 singles and added to T&T’s Denise Belfon, Jamaican artiste, Popcaan is also featured on a single called, ‘Amazing Shape.’

Denise Belfon’s personality and charisma has, for a very long time, made her a fan favorite in the Caribbean. A vocal powerhouse and unique stage performer, she has stood the test of time in the Soca music industry, having created massive soca anthems like ‘Work,’ ‘Wine and Bend Over’ and ‘Wining Queen’ among countless other flavorful singles.

Caribbean Fashion Is A Big Deal. Designer, Ecliff Elie Expands With Women In Mind.

Caribbean fashion is top tier. In a world of copy and paste designs, Caribbean brands like the incomparable Ecliff Elie, stand in a class of their own. Earlier this month, the menswear brand made a major announcement and whether you’ve heard or not, we’re here to tell you, this is huge.

The Ecliff Elie brand will now be delivering its seamless, tailored appeal to women. The brand is known for its precision tailoring and disciplined garment construction so with that at its foundation, women can now feel the complete effect of the Ecliff Elie touch. The company steps out into this aspect of its business after what it says has been years of delivering this service privately to women. Dubbed ‘Bespoke — Tailored for Women,’ Ecliff Elie is now offering the service, at scale.

The introduction reflects a focused extension of Elie’s established approach to tailoring – one built on proportion, control, and consistency. Each garment is developed through a guided process that considers posture, movement, and presence, ensuring that the final result aligns with how the individual operates and presents herself.

From custom blazers to trousers, skirts, and dresses, customers will now be able to get their custom designed Ecliff Elie apparel, through a consultation-led process where every decision—from cut to finish—is deliberate. The company says fabric selection will be approached with the same level of discipline, with materials chosen for structure, performance, and longevity, allowing each piece to maintain its standard over time.

“This is not a new direction,” Elie states. “It is a continuation of work I have done over time, now introduced with structure and clarity.”

With more than three decades of experience, Ecliff Elie has consistently positioned presentation as a defining factor in how individuals are perceived. His work has guided clients across industries to approach style as a matter of precision and intent rather than preference.

“When the garment is correct, everything changes,” he adds. “You move differently. You carry yourself differently. That is the standard.”

As more women continue to operate at the highest levels across business, leadership, and professional environments, the demand for tailoring that reflects both authority and individuality has grown. This offering responds to that shift with a process designed to deliver consistency, clarity, and control.

Through Bespoke — Tailored for Women, Ecliff Elie continues to refine his approach while maintaining a clear focus on craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a disciplined standard of execution.
