The footage emerged shortly after Nicki Minaj publicly criticized Noah following his hosting appearance at the 2026 Grammy Awards. During the broadcast, Noah made several jokes referencing Minaj and former U.S. President Donald Trump, comments that appeared to trigger a sharp response from the rapper online. In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), Minaj suggested that Noah was gay, adding the qualifier “allegedly,” but did not provide any supporting proof.

The clip shows a fan briefly approaching Noah, confirming his identity, and exchanging a short conversation before Noah continues walking with a male companion. The post framed the interaction as evidence of a romantic relationship.
However, no reputable news organizations or primary sources have verified the video’s context or confirmed the identity or relationship status of the individual accompanying Noah. Media observers note that @RapCultureBuzz is primarily a gossip-focused aggregation account that frequently reposts older or unrelated footage with sensational captions, casting further doubt on the claim.
The exchange between Noah and Minaj began during Noah’s Grammy monologue, where he jokingly remarked on Minaj’s recent headlines and made political jokes involving Trump. While Noah has a history of using satire to comment on public figures, his remarks directed at Minaj were among the more pointed moments of the evening.
Minaj’s subsequent post fueled online debate, with social media users speculating about Noah’s personal life despite the absence of verifiable information. Commentators have emphasized that neither the video nor Minaj’s statement substantiates claims about Noah’s sexuality.
As of publication, Trevor Noah has not publicly responded to the circulating video or Minaj’s remarks, and no evidence has emerged to confirm the allegations being shared online.
