Grammys host Trevor Noah on Sunday clowned President Donald Trump over his newfound fan, rapper Nicki Minaj.
During his opening monologue, the former “Daily Show” host made his way through the crowd to remark on the many famous faces. Then, he pointed out that Minaj, who has gone full MAGA in recent months despite her history of criticizing Trump, wasn’t in attendance. (The rapper did not receive a nomination at this year’s ceremony.)
“She’s still at the White House with Donald Trump discussing very important issues,” said Noah before launching into his impression of the president.
″‘Actually, Nicki, I have the biggest ass! I have it — everybody’s saying it, Nicki, I know they say it to you, but it’s me! Wap, wap, wap! Look at it! Look at it, baby!’”
Noah’s comment about Minaj’s absence drew cheers from the audience. His swipes at Trump — who embraced and held hands with the “Anaconda” rapper last week — sparked laughter from the likes of John Legend, Chrissy Teigen, Jennifer Hudson and Jeff Goldblum.
