Kanye West’s Former Publicist, Trevian Kutti, Gets Mugshot In Trump Case

August 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It seems like Kanye West’s ties to Donald Trump aren’t just through meetings and political theater displays. Moreover, authorities indicted the Chicago artist’s former publicist in connection to the former president’s Fulton County, Georgia case related to election interference. Trevian Kutti also formerly represented R. Kelly in her line of work, which is another curious connection amid this roster of controversial figures. Specifically, she stands accused of impersonating a government official and threatening folks with prison time if they didn’t claim that opponents rigged the election in the state. With this RICO case in mind and all these ties in mind, it’s honestly surprising that the funnel doesn’t run deeper.

Furthermore, Kutti’s mugshot recently surfaced online, in which she puts on a mischievous and almost scary from ear to ear. Online jokes aside, perhaps this case will overlook her ties to Kanye West in a significant way, such as looking at her past employment history and behavior as well as looking at Ye’s own political ties. Still, it’s far too early to tell at this stage. All we know is that there are a lot of people involved in this alleged election scheme, and that’s just one of Trump’s four criminal cases right now.

However, Kanye West isn’t the only hip-hop star to have found themselves tied to the Trump Fulton County indictment in some way. The most obvious example is that the same District Attorney moving this case forward, Fani Willis, is pushing the case against Young Thug and the rest of YSL in the area. Not only that, but it turns out that the polarizing politician hired the same lawyer that secured Gunna his plea deal in the YSL trial for this case. It’s a bizarre link, and one that fans have been going wild over on social media.

Of course, Yeezy has his own issues, legal or otherwise, to deal with these days, so maybe this won’t amount to much. After all, it’s unknown just how deep Kutti was in the Trump camp and whether it coincided with Kanye in any way. One thing’s for sure, though: of all the hip-hop links to this indictment, this is certainly the least surprising. Stay logged into HNHH for more big news on the Trump indictment and the latest on Kanye West.

Trump Campaign Selling Mugshot Merch

August 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

For the first time in American political history has a current candidate for the presidential nomination been indicted, arrested, and arraigned on criminal charges for electoral interference. Nevertheless, following Former President Donald Trump’s surrender to Georgia authorities for allegedly attempting to rig the 2020 Presidential election, his campaign thinktanks came up with the brilliant, yet unconventional idea of peddling merchandise with the former Potus’ mugshot on it.

The Trump campaign website is now selling coffee mugs, t-shirts, long sleeve shirts, bumper stickers and even beer koozies with the tagline reading, “NEVER SURRENDER”.

Gunna Photoshopped Onto Donald Trump Mugshot

August 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Two notorious legal cases are developing in Fulton County, Georgia, with wildly different parameters, implications, and public narratives. One is the YSL RICO case, involving Young Thug and- for a couple of months prior to a plea deal- Gunna and many other collective members. The other is one of four criminal cases against former president Donald Trump, this RICO one referring to election interference in the state. The Internet and social media recently shattered when 45’s mugshot released online, and people made countless jokes and memes about it already. Moreover, one of these links these two cases in an unconventional way.

DJ Akademiks recently posted a picture of Gunna superimposed onto Donald Trump’s mugshot, and asked “Who made this?” Many fans thought he was baiting or trying to make something random and small a hit, with responses like “that was you AK” and “I didn’t laugh button.” Regardless, it’s still a kind of funny image considering the controversial context behind the rapper’s incarceration and release. It’s a purely context-based meme, and one that unwittingly equates a murky and contested RICO case with one of the most scandalous and damning crime stories of the past few years- or, at least, since news of Trump’s other indictments broke.

What’s more is that there’s actually more connections to make between these cases, believe it or not. Just goes to show that there are some news stories with absolutely no predictable “Trump crossover” bingo card available. Gunna and the disgraced political figure actually share the same lawyer, at least regarding these specific Fulton County cases. Rather, Trump hired the same lawyer that got the College Park MC off the hook.

Meanwhile, the same person, District Attorney Fani Willis, brought both of these RICO cases forward and wants to see them completed with justice. That’s a tough term to use in relation to YSL, as slow jury selection, lack of bond, and multiple antics and controversies have muddled the case for better or worse. In Trump’s case, it’s accountability that many people wanted to see following the 2020 election, but will surely have its ups and downs, too. Overall, sometimes there is more to memes than meets the eye- even if Akademiks might’ve just ghostwrote it to not deal with negative feedback. Still, come back to HNHH for more big news on Trump and the latest updates on Gunna.

Various others noted that the 77-year-old’s height and weight was included in his booking information. He’s listed as 6-foot-3 and 215 lbs. His reported weight has managed to raise some eyebrows, with many claiming that he appears far heavier than he claims.

August 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Upon his booking in Fulton County Jail, former U.S. President Donald Trump has reportedly changed his legal representation.

Trump, who was indicted by a Fulton grand jury earlier this month on 13 felony counts for attempting to overturn a Georgia election, was previously working with Drew Findling. Findling has represented acts like Gucci Mane and Offset in the past. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Trump has since swapped Findling for Steve Sadow.

“I have been retained to represent President Trump in the Fulton County, Georgia case,” Sadow told the publication. “The president should never have been indicted. He is innocent of all the charges brought against him.”

Sadow has previously worked with Rick Ross, however, his most recent hip-hop-related victory was getting rapper Gunna out of prison.

Trump surrendered at Fulton County Jail today (August 24). At the time of writing, his official mugshot has yet to be released, however, he was reported as having weighed in at 215 pounds and measured at a 6’3″ height.

As one can expect, the internet is currently having a field day with memes.

We can only expect what will unfold once the mugshot drops.

Trump Hires Gunna’s Lawyer Before Surrendering on Georgia RICO #TrumpMugShot

August 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Trump’s Georgia RICO case already drew comparisons to the YSL Rico case due to both being executed by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. But now we reach a deeper criminal link as Trump has hired a new lawyer ahead of his surrender, Steven Sadow, who recently represented Gunna and secured the rapper’s Alford plea deal.

According to WSB-TV, Trump brought in Sadow just ahead of his visit to Fulton County. Sadow spoke with ABC News about his new client.

“I have been retained to represent President Trump in the Fulton County, Georgia case,” Sadow said. “The President should never have been indicted. He is innocent of all the charges brought against him. We look forward to the case being dismissed or, if necessary, an unbiased, open-minded jury finding the President not guilty. Prosecutions intended to advance or serve the ambitions and careers of political opponents of the President have no place in our justice system.”

Facing a 41-count indictment, Trump’s bravado against charges is reportedly gone. An insider told Page Six, Trump’s indictment has “brought about a change.” The insider added, “he’s not so confident anymore. He’s not acting so cocky anymore. He’s not lashing out so much. The arrogance is gone.”

A bond of $200,000 has been set for Former President Donald Trump in a Georgia RICO indictment that also charges 18 of his business associates. According to The New York Times, Trump and the defendants must pay a cash bond upon booking in Atlanta.

As a condition of his bond, Trump cannot violate state or federal laws or communicate with his co-defendants individually. All conversations with others charged must come through legal representatives. In addition, if he was told not to intimidate witnesses or co-defendants. Additional orders included “make no direct or indirect threat of any nature against the community or to any property in the community,” which includes “posts on social media or reposts of posts made by another individual on social media.”

President Donald Trump and his 18 co-defendants will be booked into Fulton County Jail. In addition to Trump, John Eastman, Mark Meadows, and more will be booked at the jail on Rice Street. That includes Trevian Kutti, who once was a publicist for R. Kelly and Kanye West. All charged party members will be fingerprinted and have a mugshot.

“Unless somebody tells me differently, we are following our normal practices, and so it doesn’t matter your status, we’ll have a mugshot ready for you,” Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labat said.

According to The New York Times, once Trump is arraigned, a judge will be assigned who will schedule the trial.

Returning to Truth Social, his Twitter/X alternative, Trump blasted the charges by issuing, “So, the Witch Hunt continues!” Trump also attacked Willis, writing she is an out of control and very corrupt District Attorney who campaigned and raised money on, ‘I will get Trump.’”

August 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Rudy Giuliani Reportedly Hospitalized After Being Diagnosed With COVID-19

Rudy Giuliani officially turned himself in as a co-defendant to a RICO case in Georgia centralized on former President Donald Trump. Giuliani is one of 18 co-defendants to Trump and had a bond set at $150,000.

Upon his arrival to Fulton County Jail, Giuliani’s lawyer, Kenneth Chesebro, filed a motion for a speedy trial, targeting Nov. 3

According to The New York Times, Giuliani and Trump face the most charges in the indictment. Giuliani was Trump’s lawyer following the 2020 election and was pivotal in the attempt to overthrow election results in the state.

President Trump is getting ready to turn himself in at Fulton County Jail. Facing a 41-count indictment, Trump’s bravado against charges is reportedly gone.

An insider told Page Six, Trump’s indictment has “brought about a change.” The insider added, “he’s not so confident anymore. He’s not acting so cocky anymore. He’s not lashing out so much. The arrogance is gone.”

The co-defendants have only to supply 10 percent of the bail amount, which may be complicated for former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani due to his money being tied in other legal affairs.

President Donald Trump and his 18 co-defendants will be booked into Fulton County Jail. According to WBSTV, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has said the 19 charged will have until Aug. 25 to turn themselves in.

John Eastman, Mark Meadows, and more will be booked at the jail on Rice Street. That includes Trevian Kutti, who once was a publicist for R. Kelly and Kanye West. All charged party members will be fingerprinted and have a mugshot.

“Unless somebody tells me differently, we are following our normal practices, and so it doesn’t matter your status, we’ll have a mugshot ready for you,” Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labat said.

Donald Trump Hints at Possible 2024 Presidential Run

President Trump is getting ready to turn himself in at Fulton County Jail. Facing a 41-count indictment, Trump’s bravado against charges is reportedly gone.

The co-defendants have only to supply 10 percent of the bail amount, which may be complicated for former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani due to his money being tied in other legal affairs.

In addition to Trump, Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Mark Meadows, and more will be booked at the jail on Rice Street. That includes Trevian Kutti, who once was a publicist for R. Kelly and Kanye West. All charged party members will be fingerprinted and have a mugshot.

“Unless somebody tells me differently, we are following our normal practices, and so it doesn’t matter your status, we’ll have a mugshot ready for you,” Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labat said.

Earlier this week, Donald Trump received his fourth indictment, a RICO charge, in the state of Georgia for attempting to overturn election results in the state to stay in power. Trump, his advisors, and staff are accused of organizing a “criminal enterprise” against official election results. A grand jury handed down the indictment.

A new 100-page indictment names Trump and 18 others as charged with lying to Georgia legislature and state officials, creating a fake pro-Trump slate for the Electoral College, harassing election workers, engaging in a cover-up, and four more crimes. There are officially 41 counts. Of those indicted are Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Mark Meadows, and Kenneth Chesebro.

The leading charge against Trump was issued under the RICO law, short for Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations, originally set to target the mafia and organized crime. The RICO law has been notable throughout Hip-Hop, specifically regarding the YSL chase involving Young Thug. The charges against Trump and Thugger were both brought forth by Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis.

Trump and his co-defendants now have until Aug. 25 to surrender to Fulton County, GA. “We look forward to a detailed review of this indictment, which is undoubtedly just as flawed and unconstitutional as this entire process has been,” Trump’s legal team said in response.

According to The New York Times, once Trump is arraigned, a judge will be assigned who will schedule the trial.
