Trinidadian soca artiste Jadel has broken her silence on a long-standing issue that’s followed her for years — being repeatedly mistaken for another female entertainer.
In a calm but pointed video recently posted to social media, Jadel cleared the air. While she didn’t call names, fans strongly believe her message was directed toward fellow performer J Angel, also known as the “Trini Catwoman.”
In the video, Jadel stated clearly that she’s not the one often seen “falling off tables” or “wearing a catsuit,” distancing herself from a persona and performance style that has often been incorrectly attributed to her.
> “I don’t wear a catsuit. I don’t be falling off tables. That’s not me.”
Though she never directly said the name J Angel, social media users were quick to draw the connection. Many referenced the years-long confusion between the two entertainers. With similar names, light-skinned complexions, and vibrant soca personas, the mix-up has become common in the eyes of both fans and promoters.
Different Styles, Same Stage
Jadel is known for her polished image, strong vocals, and hits like “Shake Up (Remix)”, “Wah Yuh Doin”, and “Up in the Party.” Her musical style leans more toward soulful, melodic soca with a focus on vocal delivery.
J Angel, on the other hand, has created a bold, high-energy brand characterized by daring fashion choices and her feline-inspired alias, “Trini Catwoman.” Her performances are marked by theatrical flair and a fearless stage presence.
Despite carving out their own unique paths in the entertainment space, the overlap in name and look has caused consistent misidentification — something Jadel is now determined to correct.
Not Disrespect — Just Clarity
Importantly, Jadel made it clear that her message wasn’t meant to shame or tear anyone down. Instead, it was a personal stand to protect her own image and ensure people can properly distinguish between the two.
> “I’m not doing this to disrespect anybody. I just want to make it clear — I’m not that person.”
Her statement has sparked renewed debate online, with some viewers feeling the clarification was overdue, while others expressed concern about potential fallout. Regardless, many praised her for standing up for herself in a direct but respectful manner.
Social Media Reactions
The video quickly caught fire across social platforms, with fans sounding off in the comments:
> “She’s right to say something — it’s been happening too long.”
“Artists should be respected for who they are, not confused with someone else.”
“We know who she meant… and it’s about time somebody addressed it.”
So far, J Angel has not issued a public response, but the video has drawn attention from both fans and media outlets alike.
Final Word
In an industry where image, branding, and individuality are vital, Jadel’s video shines a light on the ongoing challenge of being misrepresented. While her message didn’t name names, the implication was clear: “That’s not me.”
Her calm yet confident call for clarity is a reminder that every artist deserves to be recognized for who they are — not confused with someone else’s identity
