Another outraged viewer wrote: « Trevor Noah already with an illegal immigrants joke and a Colombia joke in his opening monologue… This is going to be a LONGGGG night. »
Others said they even spotted some celebs in the audience that weren’t keen on the joke either, such as Doechii, who has won Best Rap Album – the third woman after Lauryn Hill and Cardi B to bag the award.
Fans said they saw Doechii ‘roll her eyes’ after the host referenced illegal migrants.
« Trevor Noah’s ‘illegal immigrant’ comment was in poor taste, » another Tweet read. « Doechii rolling her eyes is me. »
Others, meanwhile, have urged the celebrity host to ‘do better’.
UNILAD has contacted the Recording Academy for comment.
