Former President Donald Trump has taken to Truth Social to criticize the Grammy Awards, labeling them as “virtually unwatchable.” His post also addressed comments made by comedian Trevor Noah, who, according to Trump, incorrectly suggested that both he and former President Bill Clinton had visited Epstein Island. Trump firmly denied the claim, stating he has “never been to Epstein Island,” although he refrained from commenting on Clinton’s alleged involvement.

Expressing his disdain for Noah, whom he referred to as a “total loser,” Trump indicated his intention to pursue legal action, suggesting he might instruct his lawyers to sue Noah for a substantial sum of money.

The comedian’s comments emerged during the Grammy ceremony when he humorously compared the coveted song of the year award to Trump’s purported interest in acquiring Greenland. Noah jested, “That is a Grammy that every artist wants almost as much as Trump wants Greenland, which makes sense… because Epstein’s island is gone, he needs a new one to hang out with Bill Clinton.”

CNN has reached out to Trevor Noah for his response to the situation.

This exchange occurs in the wake of the U.S. Justice Department’s release of over three million pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender. These files include references to prominent individuals, including Trump, Clinton, and other influential figures.

The comments come after the Justice Department on Friday released more than three million pages of files related to Epstein, the convicted sex offender, including some that contain references to Trump, Clinton and other powerful figures.

Trump and Clinton have denied any wrongdoing related to Epstein, who owned a private island in the Caribbean. Trump said last year that he rejected an invitation from Epstein to visit his island, in what he called a moment of good judgment.

“I never had the privilege of going to his island, and I did turn it down. A lot of people in Palm Beach were invited to his island. In one of my very good moments, I turned it down,” Trump told reporters in July.

Clinton has also denied ever having visited Epstein’s island.

Trump frequently criticises Hollywood awards shows for making jabs at his expense.

In his post overnight, he said Noah was “almost as bad as Jimmy Kimmel at the Low Ratings Academy Awards.” Kimmel, who has frequently drawn the president’s ire, called out Trump onstage in 2024 after he insulted the comedian on social media.

The Grammys ceremony, which aired Sunday night on CBS, included numerous musicians criticising the Trump administration’s federal immigration crackdown. Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny, who took home three awards, began one of his speeches by saying, “Before I say thanks to God, I’m gonna say: ICE out!”

During another acceptance speech, delivered mostly in Spanish, Bad Bunny dedicated his album of the year win to “all the people who had to leave their homeland, their country to follow their dreams.”

Some celebrities wore pins that read “ICE out,” which has been used at protests as a call to end operations by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
