Meanwhile, Legit.ng recalls reporting that US President Donald Trump criticised the 2026 Grammy Awards, calling the ceremony “virtually unwatchable” and hinting at possible legal action against host Trevor Noah.
Trump’s comments came after Noah joked during the broadcast about Trump’s desire to acquire Greenland while announcing Billie Eilish as the winner of Song of the Year.
“That’s a Grammy that every artist wants, almost as much as Trump wants Greenland,” Noah said, adding a controversial reference to the late Jeffrey Epstein and former President Bill Clinton.
In response, Trump said he would be “sending my lawyers to sue this poor, pathetic, talentless, dope of an M.C., and suing him for plenty$,” warning, “Get ready Noah, I’m going to have some fun with you!
“The Grammy Awards are the WORST, virtually unwatchable!” Trump wrote. “CBS is lucky not to have this garbage litter their airwaves any longer,” he added.
The Grammys aired Sunday night and marked Noah’s sixth consecutive year as host. His opening monologue, known for blending politics, pop culture, and current events, drew both laughs and criticism.
Noah's representatives and those of the Recording Academy have not commented on Trump’s statements.

"You can’t be speaking uzorbu zorbu in a song and you expect to win a Grammy. Grammy is an international award not a Nigerian thing. They don’t understand Yoruba or uzorbu zorbu. Tyla sang with pure English and she won it. Nigerians who are interested in wining a Grammy kno."

Tinubu pays tribute to Fela over Grammy
Legit.ng earlier reported that President Bola Tinubu paid a glowing tribute to Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo Kuti following his historic recognition by the Recording Academy of America.
The president’s message came on Sunday after Fela was posthumously awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, becoming the first African to receive the prestigious honour.
The award was presented at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards, nearly three decades after the music icon’s death in 1997.
