U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to sue Grammys host, Trevor Noah after a joke he made about disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein on stage.

Trump blasted the comedian as a “total loser,” adding: “It looks like I’ll be sending my lawyers to sue this poor, pathetic, talentless, dope of an M.

Trump criticised Noah’s joke, made after the song of the year gong was handed out at the ceremony on Sunday night.

Writing on Truth Social, in a post strewn with uppercase words, Trump said: “Noah said, INCORRECTLY about me, that Donald Trump and Bill Clinton spent time on Epstein Island. WRONG!!!

“I can’t speak for Bill, but I have never been to Epstein Island, nor anywhere close, and until tonight’s false and defamatory statement, have never been accused of being there, not even by the Fake News Media.

“Noah, a total loser, better get his facts straight, and get them straight fast.”

He added: “Get ready Noah, I’m going to have some fun with you!”

Trump also blasted the ceremony saying: “The Grammy Awards are the WORST, virtually unwatchable! CBS is lucky not to have this garbage litter their airwaves any longer.”

This was an apparent reference to Disney taking over the broadcast rights for the award ceremony starting in 2027.

He has also engaged in legal action with the New York Times, Associated Press and the Wall Street Journal.

Last July, U.S. media giant Paramount, which owns CBS, agreed to pay Trump 16 million dollars to settle a lawsuit over a 2024 CBS interview with Kamala Harris, the former vice-president and 2024 Democratic presidential nominee.

Noah, 41, is a South African-born comedian and TV personality who hosted “The Daily Show” on Comedy Central in the U.S. for seven years.

IShowSpeed, one of the world’s most popular content creators, is set to receive a Ghanaian passport following his highly anticipated trip to the West African nation.

Ghana was the penultimate stop on the US influencer’s live-streamed, 20-country tour of Africa, which wrapped up on Tuesday.

Following IShowSpeed’s visit, Ghana’s foreign minister announced that his office had approved a passport for the YouTuber, who he called a “worthy ambassador”.

The “Speed Does Africa” tour has been watched around the world, with many praising it for helping to break stereotypes about the continent and showcasing numerous African cultures to the world.

IShowSpeed, aged 21, whose real name is Darren Watkins Jr, has more than 50 million YouTube subscribers, with his Africa tour contributing to the growth of his platform.

His Ghanaian passport was approved following “confirmation of the irrefutable ties of IShowSpeed to Ghana”, Foreign Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa posted on social media.

While streaming in Ghana, the YouTuber told his audience that his mother was from the West African country.

Many Ghanaians responded positively to Ablakwa’s post, but some accused the government of “devaluing” the country’s passports by handing them to foreign celebrities.

In recent years, Ghana has sought to promote itself throughout Africa’s huge global diaspora.

In 2024, the country offered Ghanaian citizenship to over 500 members of the diaspora. The recipients were mostly African-Americans, like the legendary US singer Stevie Wonder.

During his visit to Ghana on Monday, IShowSpeed said he felt as though he was “back home,” and spent the day visiting iconic locations in the country.

He travelled to Ghana’s eastern region, where he took part in a traditional naming ceremony. Wearing the famous local kente cloth, he was given the name Barima Kofi Akuffo.

During his 28-day tour of Africa, IShowSpeed visited countries including Nigeria, South Africa, Morocco and Ivory Coast.

He participated in various crowd-pulling activities, including racing a cheetah and dancing with members of the Masaai ethnic group.

IShowSpeed celebrated his 21st birthday with cake in Lagos, Nigeria’s largest city.

Rolling Stone magazine named him the “most influential creator of 2025” and Forbes estimates his net worth to be $20m (£14.5m).

The wife of South Korea’s ousted former president has been sentenced to 20 months in jail for accepting bribes from the controversial Unification Church.

However, the court cleared 52-year-old Kim Keon Hee on charges of stock price manipulation and receiving free opinion polls from a political broker before the 2022 presidential election, which her husband Yoon Suk Yeol won.

Yoon has already been sentenced to five years’ in jail for abusing power and obstructing justice in relation to his failed martial law bid in 2024.

This marks the first time in South Korea’s history that a former presidential couple are convicted at the same time.

On Wednesday, Judge Woo In-sung at the Seoul Central District Court ruled that Kim had “misused her position as a means of pursuing personal gain”.

“The higher [one’s] position, the more consciously one must guard against such conduct… The defendant failed to reject solicitations and was preoccupied with self-adornment,” the judge said.

In a statement after the verdict, Kim said: “I humbly accept the court’s sterm admonition and will not take its weight lightly”.

“Once again, I sincerely apologise to everyone for the concern I have caused,” she added. Kim had previously denied all charges.

A special counsel team appointed to the case said Kim received 80m won ($56,000; £40,600) of gifts, which include a Graff diamond necklace and several Chanel handbags, from the Unification Church between April and July 2022, in exchange for business and political favours.

The team had sought a 15-year jail term and a fine of 2bn won for all three charges heard on Wednesday – for which Kim was convicted of one – but the judge noted that Kim was not the one who demanded or solicited the bribes, and that she had “no significant criminal record”.

She was however ordered to pay back 12.85m won in cash and the court also ordered the confiscation of the diamond necklace.

Kim has also been charged over her alleged involvement in a scheme to recruit Unification Church followers to the conservative People Power Party that her husband was part of, and accepting gifts in exchange for government job appointments. The court has yet to hear those cases.

The former first lady had denied all charges, saying they were “deeply unjust”, although she did admit to receiving Chanel bags, which she said she later returned without using.

She made a public apology when she appeared for questioning last August. “I am truly sorry that a nobody like me has caused concern to the people,” she said.

Investigations into Kim’s dealings with the Unification Church had also led to the arrest of church leader Han Hak-ja.

Apart from the criminal allegations, Kim has also been the subject of other controversies. Last year, Sookmyung Women’s University annulled an art education degree she graduated with in 1999, after an ethics panel found she had plagiarised her master’s thesis.
