\n\tAlthough Trevor Noah<\/a> usually keeps his Grammy hosting duties free of political discussion, he used his enthusiastic opening monologue to poke fun at Nicki Minaj<\/a>\u2018s recent turn to fawning over Donald Trump<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter lightly joking with scores of superstars in the audience, Noah pointed out that the A-list rapper wasn\u2019t at the award show. \u201cNicki Minaj is not here,\u201d he said. \u201cShe\u2019s still at the White House with Donald Trump, discussing very important issues.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tDoing his own Trump impression and referencing Cardi B\u2019s viral song \u201cWAP,\u201d he continued, \u201c\u2018Actually Nicki, I have the biggest ass! Everybody\u2019s saying it. I know they say it\u2019s you, but it\u2019s me. WAP, WAP, WAP. Look at it, baby.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMinaj has caused debate among her fanbase recently by her very visible support<\/a> of Trump and the MAGA movement.<\/p>\n

\n\tLast year, Noah\u2019s monologue<\/a> was subdued, given the recency of the devastating Los Angeles wildfires, but he did take aim at the Trump administration\u2019s tariffs.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Feb. 1 ceremony is the sixth time that Noah has hosted the Grammys<\/a>. This is set to be his final time as well, which the show\u2019s executive producer, Ben Winston of Fulwell Entertainment, revealed in January<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI am beyond thrilled to welcome Trevor Noah back to host the Grammys for his sixth, and sadly, final time,\u201d Winston said at the time. \u201cHe\u2019s been the most phenomenal host of the show. He\u2019s 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\u2019t wait to do it together one last time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 68th Annual Grammy Awards are taking place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Kendrick Lamar has the most nominations of the night with nine, including record of the year, song of the year, and album of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Although Trevor Noah usually keeps his Grammy hosting duties free of political discussion, he used his enthusiastic opening…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":448751,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[49,48,1376,75,51892,5322,99245],"class_list":{"0":"post-448750","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-donald-trump","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-grammys","13":"tag-nicki-minaj","14":"tag-trevor-noah"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/448750","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=448750"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/448750\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/448751"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=448750"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=448750"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=448750"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
