Trevor Noah's sixth and final Grammy Awards hosting gig was highlighted by controversial jokes, including one linking Donald Trump to Epstein Island, which prompted an angry Truth Social post and a lawsuit threat from the former president.
Trevor Noah hosted the Grammy Awards for the sixth time, announcing it would be his last due to a belief in 'term limits.' His monologue and subsequent jokes during the show sparked significant reactions, particularly a comment made after Billie Eilish won Song of the Year. Noah quipped that Trump wants Greenland 'almost as much as Trump wants Greenland. Which makes sense. I mean, because Epstein’s island is gone, he needs a new island to hang out with Bill Clinton.' This joke directly led to an angry Truth Social post from Donald Trump, who vehemently denied ever being on Epstein Island, labeled Noah a 'total loser,' and threatened a lawsuit. Noah, in response to the crowd's reaction, humorously stated, 'Oh, I told you, it’s my last year. What are you going to do about it?' Earlier, Noah also made a joke about Nicki Minaj being at the White House with Trump, delivered a Trump impression, and referenced Trump's penchant for suing TV networks. He also drew parallels between 1999 and the present, mentioning a presidential sex scandal, Y2K fears, and Diddy's arrest. Noah engaged in lighter banter with artists like Kendrick Lamar, referencing Lamar's beef with Drake, and Bad Bunny, who corrected Noah about Puerto Rico's status as part of America. Noah himself was a four-time Grammy nominee this year, losing to the Dalai Lama in the best audio book recording category.
