Last night was remarkable for Antigua’s annual Drue Day. Native Antiguan Soca artist Ricardo Drue made a historical moment when he proposed to Soca Sweetheart Patrice Roberts. The performance lineup consisted of many of their soca artists’ friends, such as Preedy, GBM Nutron, and Skinny Fabulous, who were able to celebrate the big moment with the lovers.
The couple rocked to their hit song “Toxic Love” when Ricardo interrupted the set to speak to the crowd. “I don’t have a lot of moments in Antigua, but tonight I am going to make a moment,” said Ricardo before getting down on one knee and popping the big question. Overwhelmed with tears of joy, Patrice ran before being escorted back to the stage by Trinidadian artist Preedy. She said, “Hell Yes,” standing proud with her fiance and their 6-year-old daughter Lily making her an official Antiguan, according to Richardo Drue, as he made history. Speaking out for the first time since the viral moment, Patrice expresses her anticipation for her big day. “I’m super excited,” she exclaimed. “Family means a lot to me, and I am thrilled right now. I want to bask at this moment with my family.”
