Trey Songz ordered to pay $11m for assaulting a police officer

A Las Vegas judge has ordered Tremaine Neverson, also known as ‘Trey Songz,’ to pay $11 million in damages after it was alleged that he and his security guards beat a police officer who was trying to rescue his wife who reported being held against her will.

The incident occurred in 2021 when the “Bottoms Up” artist welcomed a group of women to his Las Vegas hotel room to celebrate his 37th birthday.

The plaintiff, Tyrelle Dunn, identified himself in an affidavit as a Maryland Capitol police officer. Dunn’s wife was a part of the group of ladies who were invited to Trey Songz hotel.

The allegations stem from an incident at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas on Nov. 28, 2021. Neverson, best known for 2010 hits “Bottoms Up” and “Say Aah,” faced previous allegations of sexual and physical assaults.

TMZ obtained court documents detailing that Tyrelle Dunn, a police officer in the Maryland capitol, is owed the money due to injuries he sustained at the hands of the 39-year-old singer. Allegedly,

She was allegedly held against her will and screamed for help due to her inability to leave, which prompted Dunn to try and save her. Dunn was allegedly attacked by Songz and his security and suffered fractured eye sockets and scarring. The injuries were reportedly enough to keep him away from work.

Trey Songz was cleared of any criminal wrongdoing, but Tyrelle Dunn continued to pursue civil litigation. Songz reportedly went silent on him and a judge ruled in Dunn’s favor, yielding him the $11 million in damages. These will cover his previous medical expenses, pain and suffering, and of course, be punitive toward the three-time Grammy nominee.

This is the latest in what has been a year full of legal ordeals for the Petersburg, VA. artist. In April, he settled a $25 million lawsuit surrounding allegedly raping a woman at a party in 2016. He was also accused of gender violence, false imprisonment, and intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress.

“The settlement agreement conditions dismissal of this matter on the satisfactory completion of specified terms that are not to be performed within 45 days of the date of the settlement,” he said in a statement reported by  Radar Online. “A request for dismissal will be filed no later than June 10, 2024.”
