Trevor Noah has been slammed for making a \u2018tasteless joke\u2019 while hosting tonight’s prestigious Grammys Awards ceremony.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s the biggest night in\u00a0music’s<\/a>\u00a0calendar, with the 67th\u00a0Grammys<\/a>\u00a0show taking to the Crypto Arena in\u00a0Los Angeles<\/a>\u00a0tonight (2 February) to showcase some of the best talent in the industry from around the world.<\/p>\n

However, it’s rarely without controversy and now, South African comedian and\u00a0TV<\/a>\u00a0host Trevor Noah has apparently hit a nerve among some viewers – and almost immediately in his opening monologue.<\/p>\n

The comedian was introducing Shakira when he said the star is ‘the greatest thing to come out of Colombia that isn’t a class A felony’.<\/p>\n

The 40-year-old, who is known for his\u00a0political<\/a>\u00a0satire, made the tongue-in-cheek joke after making another reference to immigration, neither of which have gone down particularly well with viewers.<\/p>\n

Taking their outrage to\u00a0Twitter<\/a>, dozens flooded the social media platform with criticizm for the alleged offensive gag.<\/p>\n

One person wrote: “We, the Colombians, are sick of being treated like criminals,” and tagged Trevor Noah to urge him to apologize.<\/p>\n
