President Donald Trump threatened to take legal action against Trevor Noah after the Grammy's host cracked a "defamatory" Epstein joke on Sunday night, vowing to sue him for “plenty” of money.
Trump’s threat comes after Noah joked that the president and former President Bill Clinton visited the private island of accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
Noah took the jab after musical artist Billie Eilish won a Grammy Award for Song of the Year.
NTD reached out to CBS seeking comment to the president’s threat about taking legal action against Noah but did not receive a response by publication.
Many musical artists who attended the Grammys in Los Angeles openly expressed their opposition to Trump's illegal immigration crackdown, with many wearing "ICE Out" pins and taking political jabs.
Eilish, during her acceptance speech, told the crowd that "no one is illegal on stolen land" and encouraged people to "keep fighting" and "protesting.”
Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny used his acceptance speech to air out his political grievances.
"We're not aliens," the rapper said on stage, after being honored with the Best Music Urbana award. "We are humans and we are Americans," he said.
On the red carpet, lead vocalist of the band OK Go, Damian Kulash, called it "a little bit irresponsible” to feel any sense of joy or lightness during this time.
"Our own government has raised an army of, like, masked anonymous men to attack its own people and that feels utterly irresponsible for us to be celebrating anything right now," he said.
CBS has aired the Grammy Awards since 1973. The Grammys will officially leave CBS and move to ABC starting in 2027 under a new, 10-year deal. CBS lost the rights to air the awards show after talks with The Recording Academy failed to produce a new agreement during the negotiating period.
