Grammys 2025: Trevor Noah’s Shakira joke amid immigration crackdown draws eye roll, backlash

Live Mint  

As the new administration in the United States intensifies its crackdown on illegal immigrants, comedian Trevor Noah's joke on singer Shakira and Colombians at the Grammy Awards has not made a lot of people laugh. The controversial moment came when Trevor Noah, referring to Shakira, quipped that she was “the greatest thing out of Colombia that isn't a Class A felony,” suggesting Colombia's challenges with criminal activity. Trevor Noah also made another insensitive comment regarding the Grammy voting process, joking that the 13,000 members of the Recording Academy included “20 million illegal immigrants.” Doechii, who won the best rap album award at Grammys 2025 for ‘Alligator Bites Never Heal’, was seen rolling her eyes at another joke on illegal immigrants. One said, “trevor noah’s jokes were so distasteful and unnecessary.” “In a time of deep racism and division in the world, and while Colombia is being targeted by the U.S. administration, this is such a poor attempt at a joke, @TrevorNoah,” one person said.
