Trump's Grammys Grudge: Sues Host, Eyes Kennedy Center Closure

Trump Threatens Lawsuit Over Grammys Joke, Announces Kennedy Center Closure

Former President Donald Trump threatened to sue Grammys host Trevor Noah over a joke made during the 68th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony on Sunday, February 2, 2026. The comedian referenced the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, incorrectly stating that Trump and Bill Clinton spent time on Epstein Island, according to Time. Trump vehemently denied the claim, calling Noah a "total loser" and stating he would be sending his lawyers to sue the comedian for defamation. "Noah said, incorrectly, about me, that Donald Trump and Bill Clinton spent time on Epstein Island. Wrong," Trump stated on Truth Social, adding, "It looks like Ill be sending my lawyers to sue this poor, pathetic, talentless, dope of an M.C., and suing him for plenty."

The Grammy Awards, which took place on Sunday, also saw Kendrick Lamar leading with five wins, while Bad Bunny, Billie Eilish, and Lady Gaga scored key wins, Variety reported. The event was noted for artists finding ways to recognize a "national crisis" amidst musical performances.

In a separate announcement made on the same day, Trump stated he would be closing the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., starting July 4 for an approximately two-year renovation project, Time reported. Trump framed the closure, coinciding with the country's 250th anniversary, as an improvement project. However, Time noted that the closure followed a series of cancellations by artists slated to perform at the venue, after Trump upended the Center's leadership and appended his name to the space last year.

Trump stated on Truth Social that the decision to close temporarily came after a yearlong review with contractors, musical experts, arts institutions, and advisors, adding that the closure was "totally necessary."

Meanwhile, efforts to extend Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies have stalled in Congress as Republicans have reignited old arguments, according to NPR News.

Also in entertainment news, Time noted the HBO finance drama "Industry" has reached new levels of depravity in its fourth season, specifically referencing the ending of the fourth episode.
