Despite an incident in which jewelry valued at US$10,000 was stolen from her friend's room during their recent visit to Tobago, American hip-hop artiste and actress, Queen Latifah, had only good things to say of Trinidad and Tobago in an interview with US late night talk show host Jay Leno on Wednesday.
Asked where she last went for vacation, Latifah said she was in the twin-island republic where she had a great time partying and relaxing on the beaches. She explained that the two islands are really one country and that Trinidad is the place for partying and Carnival, while Tobago has the lovely beaches where you can relax and take it easy.
"Trinidad is the party island with the Carnival. Yuh wuk-up yuh waist, bop yuh waist, back, back (singing). You know, where you jump and wine. And in Tobago is where you lime. Like liming, chilling. That's what they call it, liming. I love that. So you go hang out for like Christmas on Trinidad and party, its kind of city and then you go over to Tobago where all the beautiful beaches are and the water sports and the surfing and the nice parties on the beach and you lime man," Latifah said.
Latifah also showed off a photograph of her on a boat alongside a grouper she said she caught on a fishing trip during the vacation. She added that they also caught a barracuda and king fish among others on that day. Latifah said she brought in the New Year's taking in a show at the hotel that featured African dancers. "It was wonderful, there was a lot of good entertainment and of course we went out to the parties and listened to a lot of soca and learned the local dances. Wuk-up yuh waist, you know. It means back up your waist, you dig," Latifah said.
Tobago police are still probing the theft, which occurred at the Stone Haven Villas in Black Rock. The bandits also made off with a cell phone valued at US$200.
