Since 7News broke the story last night, the news of Soca superstar Destra Garcia has gone viral. It is being reported in news outlets all over the Caribbean that the Supreme Court of Belize has ordered her to pay Belizean Fernando Oliva just over $14,000.
That's for rupturing his bladder when she called him up on stage and body slammed his midsection. You might think folks would be sorry for the guy, but back in Belize - on social media outlets - the more attention the story gets, the more hate Oliva gets.
And it's also garnering international traction. Tonight, we took a look at the reaction to the Supreme Court's judgement:

The video of Destra Garcia jumping on top onto Belizean Fernando Oliva, rupturing his bladder, has gone viral, and all over the Caribbean, it's making news because of the Supreme Court judgment.
There are already memes like this one, and as the story gains more steam, so does the debate about Fernando Oliva's decision to sue the soca superstar.
At home, Oliva's not gaining any many friends, with his new found popularity. In fact, there are more Belizeans condemning him, more than they are sympathizing with him.
There are posts like this one, where soca fans are upset and concerned. They are worried that because of this lawsuit, Destra will likely want to stay away from Belize.
So, how's the man at the center of this controversy taking it? Well, he's currently out of the country in Serbia. So, he's unaffected by the rage of the Destra fans who believe that he has driven away the "Queen of Bacchanal".
Caribbean news reports say that Destra has promised that she will make a statement through her attorneys.
