Heidi Klum will not be offended.
Usama Siddiquee, a comedian who recently appeared on “America’s Got Talent,” and as part of a joke, refers to Klum, who is a judge on the show, as “a tramp.”

Also in his bit, Siddiquee, addressed the electronic dance music that was played at clubs, calling it “the funniest music of all time”, joking that a “DJ can say anything he wants in the beat, and salang he has a beat drop, it makes it all OK. “
“Heidi, if I were to call you a tramp, you would be, ‘How dare you,’ no?” he said as an example, claiming that if he called her a “tramp” to the tune of a song, she would say, “Well, I’m going to let go on occasion.”

Throughout the performance, the 47-year-old Klum’s expression seemed to indicate in close-up shots that she was not happy.
As is the case with all appearances, the judges took the floor to provide feedback.
“Being called a ‘tramp’ was probably my least awkward part of the whole thing,” Klum decided back. “But that’s just me. Let’s see what America thinks.”
Co-judge Sofia Vergara also seemed to be a little uncomfortable with the performance.
“I laughed … and then I thought, ‘Should I feel guilty for laughing?'” She said. “You took a very risky theme for this show.”

Howie Mandel, another judge, later tweeted about the show.
“I’ll be honest – it’s really hard for comedy, not sure if he got the answer he wanted, but I thought he started fantastic,” he said.

After the joke went viral, Siddiquee spoke to Entertainment Tonight and revealed that he stands by his humor.
“All love for Heidi. I mean, she’s a star, she’s worked as a judge,” he said. “I mean, you know, comedy elicits reactions from people. It’s a very powerful kind of art form where you say something and people have penetrating reactions to it.”
The comedian said he does not want an apology and he stands by the joke.
Klum also spoke to the outlet after the episode, saying she found Siddiquee “a very good comedian.”

“I just did not like his material that much today. It just was not for me,” she added. “It’s hard to be a comedian now, knowing what you can still joke about, but I do not know, for me it was not so funny.”
