With COVID-19 disrupting the usual flow of things on the Jamaican entertainment scene since March, some artistes have gotten creative to sustain themselves and keep their fans engaged. Macka Diamond, for instance, became a mobile orange vendor, D’Angel has become an actress of sorts, and Yanique ‘Curvy’ Diva’ Barrett has added to the list of innovators by opening a catering business which fans can try out this Friday.

The

singjay and TV personality made the announcement on her Twitter page yesterday,

June 2.

The

product, dubbed ‘Dining with Curvy Diva: From My Table to Yours’, is set to

launch this week “with sweet and savoury dishes that fans can order from

now until Thursday for delivery on Friday.”

The

social media influencer started off the quarantine period with the no-holds

barred Instagram series called ‘Quarantine and Chill’, but was forced to take

an Instagram hiatus after her page was flagged. The account is reported to

become accessible to the artiste this week, but in the meantime food

enthusiasts can place their orders on her back-up page,

@YaniqueCurvyDivaFanPage.

During

a nasty online spat with cricketer Marlon Samuels in 2018, claims spiralled

that she burnt an egg, but the Lifestyle

entertainer has shown on many occasions that she is no newcomer to the kitchen.

Among the various dishes she has served up via Instagram stories to her more

than one million followers are oven-grilled salmon and curried chicken.

Fans

are excited about this new venture and relieved that she is back.

“Yanique

you had me worried for a while,” said one user. “Hope you are

okay.”

“You

definitely got this,” encouraged another.

Another

user added, “You go girl with your bad self. Hot girl can cook.”
