Trey Songz faces charges following two separate incidents in New York City. He allegedly punched a nightclub employee and damaged property at a hookah lounge. The singer pleaded not guilty in court.
Oh, honey, Trey Songz is back in the headlines for all the wrong reasons—again. According to the New York Post, on December 4, the singer, real name Tremaine Aldon Neverson, was partying at Dramma Night Club in Times Square. Around 4:25 a.m., when an employee informed him the club was closing, things escalated fast. Songz reportedly got 'needlessly irate' and punched the worker right in the face. Messy! 😩
Fast forward to December 14 morning, and drama followed him to Mira restaurant and hookah lounge in Manhattan. He was escorted out after allegedly damaging $1,500 worth of property, including hookahs, DJ equipment, and sofas. The fallout? Songz appeared in court that same Sunday for arraignment.
He's hit with five misdemeanor counts of assault and harassment for the nightclub punch, plus a felony charge of second-degree mischief for the lounge chaos, per Billboard. TMZ notes he pleaded not guilty, and he's facing up to seven years on that felony. The nightclub employee scored an order of protection against him, and Songz was released from custody.
His attorney, Mitchell Schuster, spilled to the press: 'Last night, Trey was confronted by individuals who instigated a confrontation and attempted to surround him. His security intervened to protect him and contain the situation, and an altercation occurred in the ensuing confusion. Public figures are often treated as targets for instigation in pursuit of headlines or financial gain. Trey is cooperating fully in both matters, and we are confident the full context and facts will come to light.'
He's due back in court on February 18. Social media? It's roasting: One user quipped, 'Trey runs a minimum 1 fade a week 😂,' while another said, 'No I really need Trig to go to therapy. He’s too old for this 😩.' Is this the wake-up call, or just another chapter in the Trey saga? 🔥
