The artist, known as Katrina Laverne Taylor, was performing early Friday at Club Dynasty when the assailant persuaded a hotel employee to give him a key to the artist's rooms, police said.
Property stolen at the Greenville Hilton included jewelry, clothes, promotional items and music equipment, according to authorities. No arrests had been made as of Saturday.
"Sixteen years in the business and this has never happened," said Mike Hopkins, Trina's actual manager.
The hotel's general manager, Rhesa Tucker, denied Hopkins' claims that a roster of entourage members was available to hotel employees.
Trina's best-selling album, "Diamond Princess," was released last year.
