Trevor Noah’s bold statement; Messi fans react!

While Beyoncé broke the all-time record for most Grammy Awards, every fan’s attention was elsewhere. Trevor Noah is a popular comedian who often does not shy away from putting his bold opinions out there. In the recent Grammy Awards, the comedian praised Beyoncé calling her the greatest of all time.

The problem with that was Noah compared her to the sports world, although he did that in a light-hearted manner. He called out Lionel Messi, Tom Brady, Michael Jordan, and LeBron James in the next line.

That was mainly what triggered the fans. Let’s have a look at how the fans reacted to Noah’s controversial remark.

It seems like the comedian’s statements hurt Lionel Messi’s fans the most. This reaction could be considered obvious because the Argentine has recently won the FIFA World Cup. The Messi fans simply asked Beyoncé put her World Cup on the table to prove her ‘GOAT’ status. Many of the other fans were just left bemused after hearing Noah’s statement.

Beyoncé was emotional from the get-go. She won her 32 Grammy Award for the best dance music album for ‘Renaissance’. Queen B walked onto the stage and gladly accepted her monumental achievement. As transcribed by PEOPLE, Beyoncé said, “Thank you so much. I’m trying not to be too emotional. I’m trying to just receive this night. I want to thank God for protecting me. Thank you, God”. She then went on to thank her family and gave a special shoutout to her Uncle Johnny.

The Halo singer wrapped up her acceptance speech by surprisingly giving a mention to the queer community. Beyoncé concluded, “I’d like to thank the queer community for your love, and for inventing this genre. God bless you. Thank you so much to the Grammys. Thank you”. The fans also remembered the American singer for her collaboration with Shakira back in 2006.
