Talk about a comeback story! Omaiah Hall just snatched the 2025 Road March title with her banger “Breakway” – yes, the SAME track that only third place in the Soca Monarch competition that had fans fuming!
When the Mashramani parade hit the streets of Guyana, it was game over! “Breakway” blasted from practically every music truck and had the entire crowd jumping. The people have spoken, and they’ve spoken LOUDLY!
Social media warriors who went to battle defending Hall after the Soca Monarch results can now take a victory lap. All those “robbed” and “highway robbery” comments? Turns out they were onto something! The judges might not have given “Breakway” the crown, but the streets sure did!
Following her Road March victory, Hall didn’t hold back her excitement. She told Potsalt: “I worked really hard for this and my hard work paid off. Now I don’t wanna stop, I want more and more. The entire Caribbean must know me. The world must know this little soca princess from Guyana!”
Let’s be real – this isn’t the first time the “official” competition picks one winner while the actual partygoers choose another. That’s the beauty of carnival, well in Guyana’s case, Mashramani culture – sometimes the true champion is decided when boots hit the pavement and waistlines start winding!
For Omaiah, this has got to feel sweeter than the sweetest chutney! From Soca Monarch controversy to Road March glory – that’s how you make a STATEMENT in Guyana’s music scene! With ambitions to conquer the Caribbean and beyond, this “soca princess” said she is just getting started!
