I want to thank him (AG) for taking the time out to come and support Machel and I am glad they increased the prize money so I could take advantage of it, he said. He also promised to shed a few pounds in time for the competition. In one months time I will lose 20 pounds…and fly off the stage as the new Soca Monarch and advantage it, he said.
