Unnecessary
Am I the only one who thought it was weird that Trevor Noah said he’s fulfilling his dream of being in bed with cardi b on national television... She looked uncomfortable when he said that. It was unnecessary #GRAMMYs

I can't be the only one who thinks Trevor Noah's comments to Cardi B were inappropriate.

Fans thought that Noa must have known that his joke would be risky, and that it had not been worth the chance. They thought the discomfort of the quip was simply unnecessary.

The sexual harassment to Cardi B from Trevor Noah after her performance was not it

Others thought that Noah's joke was even more sinister — meant to degrade her by objectifying her. They thought that Noah had made a serious miscalculation about how this joke would come off after such a lauded performance.
prevnextApologize
What Trevor Noah said to Cardi B was inappropriate. My hope is that it was said thoughtlessly and he will apologize later. In the meantime, let’s remember to hold people (especially those with large platforms) accountable for their words/actions.

Some predicted, or even assumed that Noah would issue an apology over the joke when the Grammys were over. The comedian has apologized for misfires in the past, though he has stood his ground at other times.

Noah made his own tweet about Cardi B after the show, and many fans commented there to let him know his joke had fallen flat. So far, Noah has not commented on it either.

Many fans did not comment on Noah's joke right away, but in the day or two that followed. They said that the awkward moment stuck with them and made them uncomfortable.

Some fans — joking or serious — wondered if Noah had considered the feelings of Cardi B's husband, rapper Offset before making the joke. However, most were more preoccupied with Cardi's feelings.

The only thing more awkward and uncomfortable than watching Cardi and Megan’s the stallions Grammy performance with my family was listening to Trevor Noah’s reactions to it afterwards.

Finally, any family members that watched Cardi B's performance together had the last vestiges of subtext shattered by Noah's joke. They did not thank him for that.
