After merely two months of managing HD performer, Patrice Roberts, reports reaching ETCETERABUZZ.COM today indicate that Ian Pantin has resigned the post of manager, this following a meeting between Patrice, her attorney and Pantin some two and a half weeks ago.

Patrice Roberts had quite a few gigs overseas this weekend.

Patrice Roberts refuses to let this situation impact her career.

Diplomatically, Patrice Roberts told us that she accepts the experience as just that- an experience. She said Mrs. Montano, mother of soca megastar, Machel Montano has told her that every experience is a learning one, despite the fact that the best initial decision may not have been made. In an interview with EBUZZ this morning, a very introverted Roberts said she is not looking for a manager at this time and will rely on the assistance of Narissa Strong and Mrs. Montano to aid with bookings. “I leave him (Ian Pantin) and all who’ve been unjust to me, in the hands of God,” said Roberts, going on to describe Pantin as unpredictable. “I really went into the situation in a positive light, hoping for success and a fruitful partnership for him and I, given the fact that he had just come out of a situation. I had put all my trust in him but not every situation you go into is the best one for you,” she rationalised. Patrice said she can now relate to situations of the recent past in which Pantin’s name had been called. She however refused to go into further detail on what had sparked Pantin’s decision.

Explaining that her solo career is not managed by Elizabeth Montano because the senior Montano has chosen to take a backseat where such matters are concerned, Roberts told us that even Farmer Nappy is managed and assisted by a separate team, outside of the HD team’s management. Not perturbed too much by the current scenario, Roberts said she will continue to meet her commitments with promoters in the coming weeks. “I’m performing in Toronto on the 19th and then I’ll be back in Trinidad to perform at an event at the Hyatt. I head to Jamaica after that for a performance with the band and then I continue my solo shows in New York, Orlando and Bermuda,”she explained, adding that fans can also expect to see more videos and social media updates soon. Patrice admitted that she is in the process of organising her team, explaining that friend and videographer, Titan VCD is no longer a part of her professional career. She said they will always maintain their friendship but disclosed that Titan is now a part of Bunji and Fay-Ann’s camp and as such he will be obligated to traveling with them.

Having celebrated her 29th birthday on April 11th, Patrice told EBUZZ that she’s happy to have accomplished so much in her career at this age, adding that she celebrated her special day with friends, family and loved ones. “It was fun!,” she said with a lighthearted voice.

Promoters wishing to book Patrice Roberts will now have to email, bookpatriceroberts@gmail.com, contact Narissa Strong by emailing grandison03@hotmail.com or Elizabeth Montano via email at ladymontano1@gmail.com.

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.
