South Africa and Trevor Noah Under Fire
Critics accused Trevor Noah of hypocrisy, pointing out that his past tweets seemed to contradict his current stance on social issues. Many questioned how someone who often advocates for inclusivity could have made such insensitive jokes in the past. The criticism didn’t stop at Trevor; it extended to South Africa as a whole, with some users labeling the nation as one of the most antisemitic countries.
@HankCampbell expressed frustration, saying:
"South Africa ranks high among the most antisemitic countries alongside Ireland and Sweden. It’s no surprise that @TrevorNoah used comedy to promote such views. He never made similar jokes about Muslim women because he knows which religions won’t issue a fatwa against him."
@JTLonsdale offered a different perspective:
"Trevor said some harsh things about Israel and promoted some misguided ideas. He’s wrong about many aspects of the conflict. But as a Jew, I find some of the outrage overblown. Cancel culture is often unnecessary and unproductive."
@Ic_ibz kept it simple:
"Comedians make fun of people—it’s their job."
@samaraleecarney agreed:
"He’s a comedian. These were jokes. Let’s not take them too seriously."
@gayest_tone added a sarcastic twist:

Cardi B Steps In to Defend Tyla Amid MTV VMAs Drama
Briefly News reported earlier that Tyla has been a trending topic since her global hit "Water" went viral. She’s won multiple awards, including a Grammy, BET, and recently an MTV Video Music Award. However, after her acceptance speech, American audiences turned against her, dragging her online for perceived rudeness.
Cardi B jumped into the fray on X (formerly Twitter) to defend Tyla after the recent backlash. Some viewers criticized Tyla for allegedly being rude to Halle Bailey by refusing to hold her award. Cardi, however, argued that Tyla was actually asking Lil Nas X to hold her award because he was the man. Cardi pointed out that the awards are heavy and that Tyla has a smaller build, making it harder for her to carry them.
This incident highlights how quickly controversies can spiral out of control on social media and the importance of context in understanding public figures’ actions.
