Trevor Noah has thrown one of the sharpest punches of the 2026 Grammy season, not with a song, but with a joke aimed straight at Nicki Minaj. During his opening monologue at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards, Noah strolled through the star‑packed Crypto.com Arena, greeting icons like Beyoncé, Bad Bunny, and Justin Bieber, before zeroing in on one very absent face, Nicki Minaj.
“Nicki Minaj is not here. She is not here,” Noah said, pausing as the crowd erupted into cheers. He then added, “She is still at the White House with Donald Trump, discussing very important issues,” before slipping into a spot‑on Trump impression: “Actually, Nicki, I have the biggest ass. I have it. Everybody’s saying it, Nicki. I know they say it’s you, but it’s me. WAP, WAP, WAP. Look at it, baby.” The line landed like a mic drop, with Chrissy Teigen and John Legend among those visibly laughing and applauding from their seats.
Nicki didn’t let the jab slide. Within hours, she hit back on X (formerly Twitter), firing off a homophobic‑tinged response aimed at Noah’s sexuality. She wrote, “Tor refuses to come out of the closet when in the industry knows his boyfriend. Allegedly,” pairing the post with an image of herself wearing a hat that read “Nicki was right about everything” and nostalgic photos of Jay‑Z, Beyoncé, and the late Aaliyah. The tweet quickly sparked backlash for its tone and language, with many fans and commentators calling out the use of queerness as a weapon in the exchange.
The back‑and‑forth has become one of the most talked‑about Grammy‑adjacent moments of the year, underscoring how politics, celebrity, and comedy are now tightly woven into the fabric of awards‑show banter. For Noah, it was another reminder of his signature blend of sharp satire and unapologetic commentary; for Nicki, it was a defiant stand behind her increasingly MAGA‑aligned public persona and a reminder that when you cozy up to the president, the jokes from the stage are going to come fast and loud.
