Trevian Kutti Archives - New Hip Hop News

2023 has been an eventful year for Trevian Kutti, albeit a not-so-enjoyable one. The publicist and lobbyist has consistently made headlines for several different reasons since 2020. One such reason includes serving as Kanye West’s former publicist. However, the reason for her appearance on the news in 2023 is particularly interesting.

On Monday, August 14, 2023, Trevian Kutti was indicted alongside Trump and 17 other alleged co-conspirators for attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election. After that, Kutti was arrested. She famously turned herself in on August 25, one day after Trump did.

Trevian Kutti’s Background

Trevian Kutti has been active in the fashion and entertainment scenes for a while. The Nebraska native opened a luxury high-heel shoe store called G’Bani with her husband in 1997. Although she gained a footing in the fashion industry prior to launching the store, G’Bani certainly helped her gain wider recognition. Furthermore, her career advanced progressively from that point onwards. A few years after opening and running her stores, Kutti founded Trevian Worldwide, an entertainment and media company, effectively branching out from the fashion industry.

She has since worked with several stars in the entertainment industry. Whether styling her clients or representing them as their publicist, she was at the top of her game. Her work with famous celebrities garnered her notable recognition, and she experienced a boost in popularity. Her clientele over the years has included: critically acclaimed actress Regina King, Kanye West, as well as disgraced musician, R Kelly.

Trevian Kutti And Politics

Trevian Kutti has been vocal about her political views for years. She openly shows support for whoever she deems fit to rule. Previously a supporter of Hilary Clinton, Kutti made the unexpected switch to supporting former president Donald Trump. She specifically made her new political stance known when she attended a rally for the ex-president in 2020 where she was seen brandishing a “Black Voices for Trump” sign. While the nature of their professional relationship is largely unknown, Kutti seems to have joined the close-knit camp of the former president since then.

For the most part, Trevian Kutti has been involved as a publicist for high-profile controversial acts. Her recent indictment case, although a big deal, is far from her first time around hot water. While she received backlash for dealing with Kanye West, she received considerably more flack for representing Kelly, due to the gravity of his crimes, although stepped down from her role as the R&B singer’s publicist in 2018. Furthermore, her open support of former President Trump has also brought her some heat. Also, in 2020, Kutti was criticized for a number of comments she made that were deemed insensitive and abhorrent. Seemingly unapologetic, she referred to Toi W. Hutchinson as a “slave,” and promised to “keep my knee on Toi W. Hutchinson’s neck” while lobbying for Canadian cannabis firm, Red White and Bloom.

Indictment And Arrest

A total of 19 individuals were indicted for their involvement in the alleged attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election in favor of Trump. Furthermore, a total of 41 counts were brought against them. Kutti, Trump, and all 17 other co-defendants turned themselves in within the two weeks that followed. Trevian Kutti was booked at the Fulton County Jail on August 25 on racketeering charges. She has now been granted a $75,000 bond.

One of the more surprising arrests in the Georgia indictment of Donald Trump was Trevian Kutti. Kutti is best known for serving as the primary publicist for Kanye West. However, she somehow found her way onto Trump’s Georgia indictment. According to jail records, Kutti was charged with three crimes – violation of the RICO Act, conspiracy to commit solicitation of false statements and writings, and influencing witnesses. She was set a bond of $75,000 and released after paying $7500.

However, rapper Consequence doesn’t believe any of that is true. He spoke to TMZ about what he knew of Kutti. He admitted that Kutti was working alongside Ye during parts of his 2020 presidential campaign. However, he isn’t sure that she was actually performing the duties of a publicist. Furthermore, Consequence defended Kutti, stating that he believed she was being persecuted for the crime of simply being a Black Republican. Consequence may want to re-think that claim thanks to the evidence that the Georgia DA has one hand.

Video Evidence Appears To Disprove Consequence

The problem is that the prosecution appears to have evidence of Kutti committing some crimes. A video from a police body cam appears to show Kutti attempting to coerce a Georgia election worker, Ruby Freeman, into (falsely) admitting to helping rig the election against Donald Trump. It’s unknown when Kutti began working for the Trump campaign and in what specific capacity. Kutti went low-key viral for her smiling mugshot. Consequence told TMZ this wasn’t a surprise as she was “always pleasant to be around”. It’s unknown when Kutti, or any of the defendants, will be seen in court.

Consequence also spoke on Kanye 2024. He appeared to acknowledge that he would be helping the effort if Kanye does decide to make a “serious” run at the White House. Furthermore, the rapper is currently pushing his new track, “Who Shot Jamal?”. The track is part of a wider campaign to make mental health reasons more accessible to the victims of gun violence.
