Today is a big day for The Recording Academy, as later this morning, they will announce the full list of nominees for the 63rd annual Grammy Awards. Ahead of that, though, they shared some other significant news related to the ceremony, which is set to take place on January 31, 2021. Hosting the show will be somebody who has plenty of experience with hosting: The Daily Show‘s Trevor Noah.

Noah says of the hosting gig, “Despite the fact that I am extremely disappointed that the #GRAMMYs have refused to have me sing or be nominated for Best Pop Album, I am thrilled to be hosting this auspicious event.”

While Noah isn’t exactly a music figure, he’s no stranger to the Grammys: His 2018 stand-up special, Trevor Noah: Son Of Patricia, was nominated for Best Comedy Album last year. Noah didn’t take home the award, as it went to Dave Chappelle for his Sticks & Stones special. Noah was also a presenter at the 2020 Grammys, so he’s spent time on that stage before.

He does have some experience with the music industry, though, as he has had some of the biggest figures in music on The Daily Show over the past couple years. Since 2018, the program has hosted performances from people like Anderson .Paak, Jason Isbell, and Margo Price. On the show, Noah has also interviewed Lizzo, Logic, and Pusha T.

The list of Grammy nominees will be revealed soon, so keep an eye on Uproxx to stay informed about who will be up for what awards.

Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Travis Scott and Cuban Link are igniting dating rumors after they were spotted together, heading to what appeared to be a hotel. This unexpected pairing has social media buzzing with speculation, but the real drama comes from Rick Ross, who is reveling in the chance to roast his long-time rival, 50 Cent.

For those catching up, Cuban Link—who previously dated 50 Cent—is now at the center of this fresh gossip. While 50 Cent and Rick Ross have had their share of public spats, Ross seems to be enjoying the latest twist in this ongoing feud.

In a cheeky Instagram Story, Ross shared a clip of Cuban Link entering a vehicle with Scott, using 50 Cent’s own lyrics to throw shade. “Many men, many many many many men -50 Cent,” Ross captioned the post. He didn’t stop there; Ross also flaunted his shoe collection, teasing his support for Travis Scott with a vow to wear Scott’s sneakers all week, leaving out Louis Vuitton in favor of the new kicks.

French Montana Faces Backlash for Studio Session with Lara Trump, Fans Question His Loyalty to Immigrant Roots

French Montana is stirring up controversy after his recent studio session with Lara Trump, Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law. The Moroccan-American rapper shared a photo and video with Trump, sparking a wave of criticism from fans who argue that this friendship clashes with his own immigrant experience.

Lara Trump, who is married to Eric Trump and serves as the co-chair of the Republican National Committee, recently endorsed her father-in-law’s re-election campaign, a move that’s been met with criticism due to the Trump family’s contentious stance on immigration. Fans quickly reminded Montana of Trump’s history, including an executive order banning travel from predominantly Muslim countries and Project 2025’s plans to restrict immigrant rights.

Montana’s alignment with Trump comes on the heels of his controversial appearance with Andrew Tate, a figure known for his far-right views. This series of associations has left many fans disillusioned, questioning the rapper’s commitment to his own immigrant roots.
