Trump Threatens to Sue Trevor Noah After 2026 Grammys Epstein Joke

After the final Grammys have been handed out Sunday evening, President Donald Trump took to social media to denounce the awards present and take intention at host Trevor Noah.

“The Grammy Awards are the WORST, virtually unwatchable! CBS is lucky not to have this garbage litter their airwaves any longer,” the president wrote on Truth Social, referring to the Grammys’ final yr on CBS. After throwing shade towards the occasion, he pivoted to Noah.

“The host, Trevor Noah, whoever he may be, is almost as bad as Jimmy Kimmel at the Low Ratings Academy Awards,” he continued. “Noah said, INCORRECTLY about me, that Donald Trump and Bill Clinton spent time on Epstein Island. WRONG!!! I can’t speak for Bill, but I have never been to Epstein Island, nor anywhere close, and until tonight’s false and defamatory statement, have never been accused of being there, not even by the Fake News Media.”

Trump was referring to a joke the comic made after the tune of the yr Grammy was dished out.

“There you have it, song of the year! Congratulations, Billie Eilish. Wow. That’s a Grammy that every artist wants, almost as much as Trump wants Greenland,” Noah mentioned in the course of the telecast. “Which makes sense because, since Epstein’s gone, he needs a new island to hang out with Bill Clinton. I told you, it’s my last year! What are you going to do about it?”

After the telecast, in his Truth Social put up, threatened to ship “my lawyers to sue this poor, pathetic, talentless, dope of an M.C.”

Trump wrote, “Noah, a total loser, better get his facts straight, and get them straight fast. It looks like I’ll be sending my lawyers to sue this poor, pathetic, talentless, dope of an M.C., and suing him for plenty$. Ask Little George Slopadopolus, and others, how that all worked out. Also ask CBS! Get ready Noah, I’m going to have some fun with you! President DJT.”

Some artists didn’t draw back from addressing politics on the 2026 Grammy Awards. Notably on the crimson carpet, celebrities together with Billie Eilish, Justin and Hailey Bieber, Finneas and Kehlani wore “ICE Out” pins, standing in resistance of federal immigration brokers following the high-profile killings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis by members of federal legislation enforcement.

Eilish and Bad Bunny have been two of the most important winners of the evening to deal with ICE of their respective acceptance speeches. While taking the stage to just accept the Grammy for tune of the yr, the “Wildflower” singer mentioned, “As grateful as I feel, I honestly don’t feel like I need to say anything, but that no one is illegal on stolen land … It’s just really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, and I feel really hopeful in this room.”

“Our voices really do matter and the people matter,” Eilish continued. “Fuck ICE,” she added, with the latter two phrases bleeped on the CBS telecast.

Bad Bunny received the coveted album of the yr award, changing into the primary Spanish-language album to take action. However, it was throughout his first televised win of the evening, for greatest música urbana album, that he started his speech by saying, “Before I say thanks to God, I’m going to say ICE out.”

“We’re not savages, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens, we are humans and we are Americans,” Bad Bunny continued. “The hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love. So we need to be different. If we fight, we have to do it with love. We don’t hate them. We love our people. We love our family, and that’s the way to do it with love. Don’t forget that, please. Thank you.”
