""Nicki Minaj is not here," Noah said, to big cheers from the audience at Crypto.com Arena. "She is still at the White House with Donald Trump discussing very important issues.""
""Wow. That is a Grammy that every artist wants," Noah said, "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.""
""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 being there, not even by the Fake News Media," the post said. "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..""
Trevor Noah roamed the Grammy audience during his opening monologue, teasing stars in person and reserving sharper jokes for absent figures. He noted Nicki Minaj's absence and quipped she was at the White House with Donald Trump, then performed a Trump impression. Noah largely avoided politics during the monologue but later referenced Greenland and Jeffrey Epstein after Billie Eilish won song of the year. Donald Trump reacted on Truth Social, denied ever visiting Epstein Island, called Noah a loser, and threatened to send lawyers over what he called a false and defamatory statement.
