Who is 9trevv, and why is his El Mencho Cartel video going viral? Here's what we know

After gaining traction across social media platforms, American crypto influencer Trevv has sparked controversy with a viral video in which he openly dissed the Mexican cartel and its alleged leader, Nemesio "El Mencho" Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, following reports of the drug lord’s recent killing. Now, as soon as the video surfaced on social media, it quickly grabbed the attention of netizens and sparked discussion online. Before we dive into who is 9trevv, a.k.a. "Trevv"? Let's find out what he really said in the clip.

On February 23, 2026, 9trevv posted an 11-second clip on X (formerly called Twitter), in which he made explicit and inflammatory remarks about Nemesio "El Mencho" Rubén Oseguera Cervantes.

He captioned the video, "I’m smoking on El Mencho pack." The video quickly gained momentum, racking up more than 768,000 views within hours. The post drew significant engagement, with over 720 users commenting, many warning the influencer about potential consequences and urging him to delete the video amid safety concerns.



The video immediately grabbed the attention of the viral video. One user said, "I hope he’s not in Mexico."

"Not gonna lie, I've talked a lot of shit online, but if I had to pick one group to absolutely not fuck with, it would 100% be Mexican cartels. "You can tell these kids never saw the shit we all saw on LiveLeak in the early 2000s," one wrote.

"He should fix his tooth if he has money. People need to stop fearing the cartels. Learn how to defend yourself and get a community around you that can do the same. Make a cartel person fear for their lives if they want to harm you," another added.

One said, "He wants to trigger a war between us and the cartel."



In a January 16, 2026, Instagram Reel, 9trevv drew heavy criticism after posting a video in which he referenced United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement while using racially offensive and inflammatory language.

According to Streams Charts, he has not gone live there in over 30 days, leading to speculation that his account may have been suspended.
