While congratulating Tasha P, Melissa Skerrit noted, "Congratulations

Queen Tasha P! The powerful execution of your hit calypso song 'Frenemy Remedy' placed you as the winner on the judges' score sheets and in our hearts. It is definitely woman time".

In the competition, Tasha P Tasha delivered a commanding performance of her song Frenemy Remedy, which is written by Gina Letang, and the song led her to win the Virtual Calypso Monarch Title. She beat the 2021 winner, Daryl Bobb and thirteen other competitors in the process.

MP of Roseau, Melissa Skerrit, further emphasized that Calypso is about social commentary and she commended Tasha for using this as an avenue to motivate women, children and society at large.

She said that "This winning song asked us to take a closer look at our friendships and supported Roman's 12:20 by illustrating perfect ways to 'heap coals of fire' on our frenemies' heads."
