Trevian C. Kutti, who was previously known as American rapper Kanye West’s ex-publicist, has been indicted, alongside Donald Trump and 17 others, for allegedly engaging in harassment directed at an election worker in Georgia.
Trevian’s connection to Kanye West reportedly emerged in 2018, following her departure from working with disgraced rapper R. Kelly.
Her online biography indicated that she was a member of the “Young Black Leadership Council under President Donald Trump” and that she served as Kanye West’s Director of Operations after being hired as his publicist in September 2018.
The indictment, consisting of 41 counts, was filed by the Fulton County, Georgia district attorney, and it implicated eighteen individuals. Former President Donald Trump was among those listed in the indictment, reportedly linked to attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in the state.
Allegedly, Trevian was captured on video attempting to coerce Ruby Freeman, an election worker in Georgia, into confessing to rigging the election in favor of Joe Biden.
In the video, Trevian, identified by prosecutors, visits Ruby’s residence and claims to have been sent by a “high-profile individual” to compel her to admit to voter fraud or face potential arrest.
A spokesperson for Kanye clarified that Trevian was not associated with the rapper when the reported harassment of the election worker occurred.

It’s noteworthy that Kanye West, who was previously married to Kim Kardashian, publicly supported Donald Trump and even wore a Make America Great Again hat during a Saturday Night Live appearance.
Following claims by Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s lawyer, that Ruby Freeman and her daughter engaged in fraudulent activities during the election, both individuals faced numerous threats and harassments.
These allegations stemmed from Giuliani’s assertion that they had handled “suitcases” filled with fake ballots and used them in the voting process. However, these claims were swiftly debunked by county and state election officials.
