Trey Songz is taking legal action against the Kansas City Police Department five years after a chaotic arrest at a Chiefs playoff game. The singer claims he was the victim of heckling that turned ugly, only for security and cops to turn on him instead. All charges were eventually dropped, but Trey's not letting it slide.
Oh honey, grab your popcorn because Trey Songz is serving up some serious legal tea! According to a lawsuit obtained by TMZ, the R&B heartthrob was minding his business at the AFC Championship Game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills back in January 2021. Picture this: Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri, electric vibes, but things went south fast when nearby fans started heckling him just because he's a celeb. 😤
What started as verbal jabs escalated to threats and harassment, prompting security and police to swoop in. But instead of playing hero and protecting Trey from the "unruly, aggressive, and intoxicated attendees," they allegedly flipped the script. Trey claims they physically assaulted him, wrongfully arrested and handcuffed him, and tossed him in jail. Talk about a plot twist! He was hit with charges of trespassing, resisting arrest, and assaulting a police officer—charges that were all ultimately dismissed. Whew.
In the suit, Trey lays it all out: physical injuries, emotional distress, a dent in his professional rep, and financial hits from the ordeal. He accuses the KCPD of using excessive force before the wrongful detention. And yes, he's seeking unspecified damages to make it right. TMZ reached out to the department, but crickets so far.
This one's got us side-eyeing stadium security—were they fans or foes? Is Trey's lawsuit the mic drop on mishandled celeb drama, or just the opening act? 👀
