United States President Donald Trump
United States President Donald Trump has threatened legal action against the host of the 68th Grammy Awards, Trevor Noah, over the comedian’s comment on the president and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
After congratulating Billie Eilish for winning the Grammy for Song of the Year for her track “Wildflower,” Noah brought up Trump and Epstein on Sunday, February 1, 2026.
Noah said: “Wow. That’s a Grammy that every artiste wants – almost as much as Trump wants Greenland,” he quipped, referring to the president’s threats to seize the autonomous Arctic territory.
“Which makes sense because, since Epstein’s gone, he needs a new island to hang out with Bill Clinton.”
Noah, who announced that this will be his final year hosting the Grammys after six turns as emcee, has been light on political commentary in previous years.
His comments drew the ire of the president, who took to his Truth Social platform on Monday, saying the “Grammy Awards are the WORST and virtually unwatchable,” before criticising Noah.
“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 stated.

The president, therefore, branded South African Noah a “total loser” who needs to “get his facts straight.”
“I’ll be sending my lawyers to sue this poor, pathetic, talentless, dope of an M.C. and suing him for plenty$. Get ready Noah, I’m going to have some fun with you!” Trump added.
Trump, who moved in the same social circles as Epstein in Florida and New York, has fought for months to prevent the release of a vast trove of documents about the disgraced financier and has given varying accounts of why he eventually fell out with Epstein.
More than three million documents were released on Friday that included mention of numerous powerful figures, including the 79-year-old president, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, and former prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
