Trevor Noah Uses Final Grammys Opener to Mock Nicki Minaj’s Trump Alliance

The joke referenced her recent pro‑Trump turn, drawing cheers during Noah’s final year as host.

Overview

  • During the 68th Grammys, Noah noted Minaj’s absence and quipped she was “still at the White House with Donald Trump,” then delivered a Trump impression about who has the “biggest ass.”
  • The crowd at Los AngelesCrypto.com Arena reacted with loud cheers and laughter when Noah said Minaj was not in attendance.
  • Minaj days earlier appeared at the Trump Accounts Summit, called herself the president’s “No. 1 fan,” and highlighted a “Trump Gold Card” while referencing citizenship paperwork.
  • This year marked Noah’s sixth and final stint as Grammys host, a change that coincides with the show leaving CBS for ABC, Hulu and Disney+ starting in 2027.
