Trevor Noah slammed over ‘offensive’ joke at Grammys
Trevor Noah is no stranger to controversy, but his latest joke at the 2025 Grammy Awards landed him in hot water. While hosting the prestigious music event, Noah made a harmful stereotype about Colombian singer Shakira, sparking outrage from online users who say his comments were “offensive and outdated.”
Trevor Noah has once again found himself at the center of controversy, this time for a joke made while hosting the glitzy Los Angeles-based Grammy Awards on February 2.
But before the South African comedian – known for his sharp wit and satirical takes – fired off with his signature mix of humor and political jabs, he shared his praise to the “heroic actions of firefighters” who helped contain the deadly L.A. wildfires that displaced about 200,000 people and destroyed more than 18,000 structures.
“Just a few weeks ago, we weren’t sure tonight that this show would even happen. I mean, you don’t need me to tell you this, but this city has just been through one of the largest natural disasters in American history.”
