Noah focused in his show on March 15, 2022, on the increasingly bitter row between Kardashian and her new beau Pete Davidson on one side and the TV personality’s former husband West on the other.
West has been trying to win back Kim and increasingly resorted to more and more extreme public statements and gestures to try to achieve that.
He recently issued a claymation music video where West’s character chops off Davidson’s head.

West responded in a now-deleted Instagram post which included a picture of Noah along with the comment: “All together now… K*** baya my lord k*** baya k*** baya my lord K*** baya Oooo’ lord K*** baya.
The post got West suspended from the social media site for 24 hours.
Before the post was deleted, Noah responded in the comments.
He wrote: “There are few artists who have had more of an impact on me than you Ye. You took samples and turned them into symphonies.
“You took your pain and through the wire turned it into performance perfection. I thought differently about how I spend my money because of you, I learned to protect my child-like creativity from grown thoughts because of you, s**t I still smile every time I put on my seatbelt because of you.”
“You’re an indelible part of my life Ye. Which is why it breaks my heart to see you like this.
“I don’t care if you support Trump and I don’t care if you roast Pete. I do however care when I see you on a path that’s dangerously close to peril and pain.
“You have every right to fight for your family. But you have to know the difference between that and fighting your family.
“If you’re just joking about it all and I’m an idiot for caring, then so be it. But I’d rather be the idiot who spoke up.”
Noah added: “Oh and as for k***…clearly some people graduate but we still stupid.
“Don’t ever forget, the biggest trick racists ever played on black people was teaching us to strip each other of our blackness whenever we disagree.
“Tricking us into dividing ourselves up into splinters so that we would never unite into a powerful rod.”

What has Trevor Noah said about Kim Kardashian?
“One of the strangest things to try to wrap your head around – I find this, especially in America – is when a story stops only applying to … not the industry it’s in but sort of the sector that it’s in, and when it starts affecting everybody or speaking to everybody,” Noah said.
He said the story had started off as being of tabloid interest and a bit of entertainment but had taken on a darker significance.
“It started very much in the land of tabloid,” he said, “but I feel it’s creeping and has crept into a world that more people should pay attention to but not for the reason that you may think.”
He said West’s claymation video made him “uncomfortable” and showed people how seriously they should take the threats.
“You may not feel sorry for Kim because she’s rich and famous, because of the way she dresses, because she appropriates black culture, because she tells women they’re lazy, broke the internet and then didn’t put it back together, whatever, you hate her,” Noah continued. “But what she’s going through is terrifying to watch, and it shines a spotlight on what so many women go through when they choose to leave.”
Noah stressed he was not calling West a bad guy, just that society needed to think harder.
“We have to ask ourselves questions. Do we wish to stand by and watch a car crash when we thought we saw it coming? Or do we at least want to say hey, slow down, let’s all put our hazards on because there’s a storm right now,” take threats seriously and look silly if they don’t pan out. “I’d rather be in that situation than to be in one where I say ‘Man, I wish we didn’t think the whole thing wasn’t worth looking at.’”
Noah ended the segment by saying: “All I’m saying about this story is, if Kim cannot escape this, Kim Kardashian, if she cannot escape this, then what chance do normal women have?”

He said: “They have so much in common: both are reality stars, big on social media, Kanye loves both of them, and they believe in employing everyone in their family no matter how useless they are."
Noah added: "She could probably teach Donald Trump about diplomacy."
