So am Bunji, Fay Ann Pull out

[Hook]

Yeah, they're making it sound screwey, but we really don't know all the details.
I've seen artistes' contracts where penalties are incurred for non-performance on the night of the show, but there are exceptions for incarceration, personal injury and acts of God.

We don't know for certain if it's as draconian as the Alvarez family is making it out to be, but clearly the other big artistes don't have beef with it.

[kurpal_v2]

I eh blame them nuh, save their production money cause Ravi b going and win anyway.

Wendy ; all artistes were aware of the contractual arrangements of soca monarch since last year june

Retweeted hema ramkissoon (@hema_ramkissoon):

Machel ; I will not comment on Bunji pull out , ill wait to hear what artiste says

Retweeted Ian Antonio Alvarez (@BUNJIGARLIN):

As it with any contract that we are positioned to get into be it endorsement, real estate or the likes we sat with management and legal team for proper advice about the Soca Monarch contract simply because it is our right and responsibility as human beings and artistes to do so. To enter into Soca monarch one has to agree and therefore sign the contract and we are not in agreement with some of the contracts clauses and we are in no way asking nor demanding that they make changes to suit us because it would not be fair to the other artistes therefore we choose to respectfully withdraw from the competition. This is not expected to be a noisy situation or a back and forth public battle, the Foundation reserves it's right to do what it thinks is needed to protect it's entity just as we reserve the right to agree , disagree and protect ourselves where and when is required.

Retweeted EFF-in Fay-Ann Lyons (@fayannlyons):

Dear fans thanks for the support and though we would have liked to do this for yal our contractual requirements were not favourable.

CFP and William Munroe need to explain why this is NECESSARY in the contract.

This IS BULLSHYTE IMO Respect to Bunji & Fay ANN

Among the elements in the contract with which Bunji and Lyons-Alvarez took exception to was the rule that winners must give back to the Caribbean Prestige Foundation (CPF) five per cent of the winnings.


Also, the winners must defend the respective titles the following year, or they will have to pay back 90 per cent of the prize money.


Another clause the artistes are objecting to in the contract is that the winners must attend the prize distribution ceremony wherever it may be, here at home or abroad.

Das not yuh bizness... all that matters is that they doh agree to it. I doh see why all the public butthurt over a man personal decision/choice. its his to make an he made it.

They simply in a better position financially or otherwise to exercise that right.

[sliderz1]

does this have anything to do with birth control? cuz its very long to read....

so it wasnt just me

[moti]

1 - its not to make blue win cause no need for Bunji to pull out if that was the case

2- the contract sucks, why would you have to give any amount to CPF if you win

3- though the terms in the contract sucks, there is only one winner per comp. so you telling me that you not sure if you singing next year then? even if yuh song is siht and you lose you still defend, no?

4- if the other stars are still in it for the win, then who is you to complain

5- ok, is yuh rights so express it dan, but me a two mil + what yuh making in fetes would have come in nice for your household

[TRAE]

[Rooki3]

Fay, Bunji Bail on Soca Monarch- No Plans On Advising Daddy Super-Blue

http://etceterabuzz.com/e-news/fay-bunj ... uper-blue/

News broke last evening following the online publishing of a Trinidad Express article which was headlined, “Bunji, Fay-Ann Pull Out”. Like wildfire, the buzz spread and when we contacted Fay, she had been relaxing at the movies with her hubby. ” I’ll call you back,” she assured and so we waited. When we spoke with the former Road March, Groovy and Power Soca Monarch queen, she admitted that the article was indeed accurate, and based on consultations with her management and advise obtained, both she and Bunji had made the decision to remove themselves from the competition. “I have no problem with his (William Munro’s) contract but I am simply saying that for me, I am not accepting that. I am not asking him to adjust or change his contract. I fully respect what he wants. It’s his competition. He has full right to decide, to decipher, to state what he wants,” she said, continuing, “My rights come in where I can either agree by signing, or disagree by not signing.”

Asked whether she would be advising her father, veteran soca artiste, Austin ‘SuperBlue’ Lyons, the ‘Stage Open’ singer said she would not. “My father is a grown man. I will not offer any advice on the contract to any artiste. Each artiste should read their documents before signing on the dotted line and that’s standard procedure. If you don’t read your contracts and understand what you’re signing into, you have no place in entertainment,” she said.
