For Trinidadians, the most wonderful time of the year is officially upon us – Carnival. 2023 marks the first year that the festival has been able to return to its full decadence, and needless to say the world is excited. Many locals will be stepping out for the ongoing island festivities, but from what we’ve heard so far, several celebrities are attending as well.
Unsurprisingly, Nicki Minaj announced via Instagram on Sunday (February 19) that she’s touched down in her hometown. This marks the Queen of rap’s first time attending since 2020, which is also the last time she graced the stage. While many are excitedly gearing up for her forthcoming performance, others are gushing over the fact that Damson Idris is also in Trinidad for Carnival this week.
Damson Has Big Love for Trinidad
After spending some time in T&T for Carnival, the Snowfall actor didn’t take long to fall in love with the country. “Absolutely love it here,” he told viewers watching his Instagram Story recently. “I need a Trini real talk, bought to buy a crib here,” he went on, specifically praising their food and drinks.
“Even the air taste good,” Idris joked, pretending to inhale the atmosphere while wandering around a lush green garden. “The only thing is… the mosquitos. They treat me like I’m Popeyes,” he said, revealing his singular criticism of Trinidad. “Apart from that, perfect vibes.” Elsewhere on social media, the English star previewed some of the live music he’s been lucky enough to see.
Now, Damson… Don’t Forget About Lori!
Trinidad certainly does look good on him, but it’s unlikely the country’s beauty will be enough to convince Idris to stay. Now that he’s got Lori Harvey by his side, the foreign actor is easily one of the most coveted men in the world. They made their red carpet debut together last week, and while their outfits were obviously on point, some Twitter users think that their chemistry could use some work.
Upon hearing the feedback about her relationship, the model was quick to clarify a few things. From the sounds of her clap back, she and Damson are doing more than fine. Read everything that Harvey had to say about the gossip here, and check back later for more Carnival news updates.
