Trump Slams Grammy Awards as “Unwatchable,” Threatens Legal Action Against Trevor Noah

U.S. President Donald Trump has sharply criticised the Grammy Awards, branding the annual ceremony “virtually unwatchable” and accusing host Trevor Noah of making a false and defamatory statement about him.

In a post shared on his Truth Social account, Trump described the Grammys as one of the “worst” award shows on television and claimed broadcaster CBS was “lucky” to no longer air what he referred to as “garbage.”

Trump also took aim at Noah’s performance as host, unfavourably comparing him to late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel and questioning his suitability for the role.

The president’s remarks followed a comment made by Noah during the awards ceremony in which he referenced Trump and former U.S. President Bill Clinton in connection with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump strongly denied any association with Epstein’s private island, insisting he had never visited it or been linked to it in any capacity.

“I have never been to Epstein Island, nor anywhere close,” Trump wrote, adding that he had never previously faced such an accusation from the media.

He described Noah’s remark as inaccurate and defamatory, warning that he was considering legal action against the comedian. Trump referred to Noah as a “pathetic” and “talentless” master of ceremonies and suggested his lawyers could pursue a lawsuit seeking damages.

Trump also alluded to past legal disputes involving media figures, stating that similar cases had “worked out well” for him.

Neither Trevor Noah nor representatives of the Grammy Awards have publicly responded to Trump’s comments at the time of reporting.
