While addressing the audience on the night, the comedian made a sarcastic reference to Minaj’s perceived support for former U.S. President Donald Trump, joking that she could not attend the event because she was needed at the White House. The comment, though brief, appeared to strike a nerve with the rapper.

Shortly after the ceremony, Nicki Minaj took to her X (formerly Twitter) account, where she posted a series of explosive messages aimed at Trevor Noah. In her posts, she made several allegations, including claims about his sexuality.

She accused the comedian of refusing to “come out of the closet,” a phrase commonly used to describe someone who is believed to be hiding their sexual orientation.

In one of her posts, she wrote:
“Your favorite artist has been practicing rituals in a satanic cult where they take babies from other countries & mutilate & kill them as a form of a blood sacrifice to their God. You see, when your master is Satan, you must constantly shed blood. However, the JIG IS UP. Trevor refuses to come out the closet when everyone in the industry knows his boyfriend. Allegedly,” she wrote.

The comments have since sparked widespread reactions online, with fans and critics debating the appropriateness of Trevor Noah’s joke as well as the nature and tone of Nicki Minaj’s response. As of now, neither the Grammys nor Trevor Noah has publicly responded to her claims.

The ceremony is scheduled to take place on Sunday, February 1, 2026, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, continuing Noah’s celebrated run as one of the most consistent and well-received hosts in the show’s modern era.

With this appearance, Noah becomes the first host to lead the Grammys for six straight years since legendary crooner Andy Williams, who hosted the first seven live telecasts from 1971 to 1977.

However, this milestone also comes with a farewell. Grammy executive producer Ben Winston has confirmed that the upcoming ceremony will be Trevor Noah’s final time hosting the awards.

“I am beyond thrilled to welcome Trevor Noah back to host the Grammys for his sixth, and sadly, final time,” Winston said in a statement.
“He’s been the most phenomenal host of the show — so smart, so funny, and such a true fan of the artists and music. His impact on the show has been truly spectacular, and we can’t wait to do it together one last time.”

While Noah’s streak is historic, he isn’t the only figure to have hosted the Grammys six times. Singer-songwriter John Denver previously took on hosting duties in non-consecutive years, first from 1978 to 1979 and later between 1982 and 1985.

The 2026 Grammys will also signal the end of another long-standing chapter in the show’s history. It will be the final ceremony to air on CBS, bringing to a close a broadcast partnership that dates back to 1973.

Starting in 2027, the Recording Academy will move the Grammys to ABC, with streaming available on Hulu and Disney+, following a major global broadcast deal announced in October 2024.

Beyond hosting, Noah will also serve as an executive producer for the 2026 ceremony, alongside Ben Winston, Raj Kapoor, and Jesse Collins.

Adding to his presence this year, Trevor Noah is also a Grammy nominee, earning a nod for Best Audio Book, Narration, and Storytelling Recording for Into the Uncut Grass. The nomination marks his fourth Grammy nod and third consecutive year in contention, following earlier recognitions in the Best Comedy category.

As Noah prepares for his final bow on the Grammys stage, the 2026 ceremony promises to be both a celebration of music and a fitting send-off for one of the show’s most defining hosts.

The Recording Academy has announced that Trevor Noah will return to host the 2025 Grammy Awards, marking his fifth consecutive year as the host of Music’s Biggest Night.

Trevor, who began hosting the Grammys in 2021, will also serve as a producer for the show, bringing his signature charm and wit to the global stage again.

The 67th Annual Grammy Awards will take place on Sunday, February 2, 2025, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The ceremony will air live on the CBS Television Network and stream live and on-demand on Paramount+.

This year’s nominees are led by Beyoncé, who received an impressive 11 nominations for her country-inspired album “COWBOY CARTER.” Charli XCX, Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, and Post Malone are closely followed by seven nominations each, while Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, and Taylor Swift each earned six nods.

The Nigerian music industry is well represented at the 2025 Grammys, particularly in the African Song Performance category, where Afrobeats stars dominate the nominations.

American rapper and record producer Ye, commonly known by his birth name Kanye West, has been removed from the Coachella lineup as 26,000 people sign a petition.

Kanye West, who is set to headline Day 3 of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April, has been getting stiff opposition from individuals across the world.

This came up after his relentless social media shots at estranged wife Kim Kardashian, her new boyfriend Pete Davidson and Trevor Noah, among others.

• No Kanye West on the Grammys’ stage this year…Here’s Why!
• Kanye West bans from Instagram for 24 Hours
• Kanye West expresses his desire for his children.

A Change.org petition was recently launched to remove the rapper from the festival lineup and the petition has been getting several signatures.

The petition, launched by user Caramello Marie, reads:

“We have watched Kanye harass, manipulate, and hurt Kim, Pete, and others for over a year now,”

“No one seems to want to stand up to him, and the ones that do, he puts under fire as well. Most recently, he has been threatening actual bodily harm to others. This is ridiculous that he is allowed to freely do this. Coachella (along with other brand names that are still working with him) should be ashamed of themselves and should not be giving him any more of a platform.”

As of the early hours of March 22, the petition has received over 26,000 signatures.

Recall, On March 16, 2022, the American rapper was suspended from Instagram for 24 hours after one of his posts violated Instagram’s policies on hate speech, bullying, and harassment.
