Donald Trump has doubled down he 'wasn't friendly' with Jeffrey Epstein following Trevor Noah's Grammys joke alongside the latest release of Epstein files.
Proving it's not just the Golden Globes and Oscars which can get a bit risqué with the jokes, Trevor Noah took to the stage at the 2026 Grammy Awards and took a shot at none other than US President Donald Trump.
While the POTUS' ear may've not ended up bloody this time, it did end up scorned, so much so, Trump has since threatened to sue the comedian over his comment.
Taking to the stage on February 1 to announce Song of the Year, Noah not only referenced Trump's continuous demands to take over Greenland, but also his former relationship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Noah said: "Song of the Year — that is a Grammy that every artist wants almost as much as Trump wants Greenland, which makes sense because Epstein’s island is gone, he needs a new one to hang out with Bill Clinton."
Despite knowing Epstein, Clinton has denied any knowledge of the paedophile's criminal activities and Trump has felt the need to speak out clarifying the extent of his relationship with Epstein yet again too.
Wasting little time after Noah's joke, Trump took to Truth Social to slam the Grammy Awards as 'the WORST' and 'virtually unwatchable',' condemning Noah as 'almost as bad as Jimmy Kimmel at the Low Ratings Academy Awards'.
The POTUS stressed Noah said 'INCORRECTLY' that he and Clinton 'spent time on Epstein island' but that the comedian is 'WRONG'.
Adding while he 'can't speak for Bill,' Trump alleged he's 'never been to Epstein island, nor anywhere close', slamming Noah's joke as a 'false and defamatory statement' before threatening the 'total loser' with the prospect of 'suing him for plenty$' - adding in he's 'poor, pathetic' and 'talentless' for good measure.
LADbible Group previously contacted Noah's representatives for comment.
And in a post shared February 2, Trump added: "Not only wasn’t I friendly with Jeffrey Epstein but, based upon information that has just been released by the Department of Justice, Epstein and a SLEAZEBAG lying 'author' named Michael Wolff, conspired in order to damage me and/or my Presidency."
The post continued: "So much for the Radical Left’s hope against hope, some of whom I’ll be suing. Additionally, unlike so many people that like to 'talk' trash, I never went to the infested Epstein island but, almost all of these Crooked Democrats, and their Donors, did."
Michael Wolff is a journalist who has written multiple books about Trump's presidency, with his 2018 release sparking backlash from the White House.
On an episode of his podcast, Wolff also claimed he 'probably [has] 100 hours of Epstein talking about the inner workings of the Trump White House and about his long-standing, deep relationship with Donald Trump'.
Trump's outburst follows another release of the infamous Epstein files by the US Department of Justice (DOJ).
Millions of pages, images and videos were publicly released, including emails between Epstein and high-profile figures. It's important to note that being named or photographed in the files does not indicate any wrongdoing.
Several unverified tips sent to the FBI in August 2025 are reported as revealing some serious allegations against the POTUS.
One complaint alleges a 'redacted' name 'reported an unidentified female friend' being 'forced to perform oral sex on President Trump 35 years ago in New [Jersey]' - the friend 'approximately 13-14 years old' at the time of the alleged incident.
The DOJ and the White House said in a statement that a few of documents 'contain untrue and sensationalist claims against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election'.
The statement added: "To be clear, the claims are unfounded and false, and if they have a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already."
