Singer Trey Songz was arrested for assault after allegedly punching a nightclub employee in the face earlier this month.

Songz and his friends were partying at Dramma Night Club in Times Square on December 6 when they allegedly “became needlessly irate” after a worker informed them the club was closing around 4 a.m., prosecutors said in Manhattan criminal court, according to The Post.

Prosecutors claim the 41-year-old singer punched the worker in the face, causing “swelling and substantial pain.” Songz appeared in Manhattan Criminal Court on Sunday and was charged with two counts: mischief in the second degree and assault in the third degree.

The employee was granted an order of protection against Songz, who is reportedly a regular at the nightclub, according to prosecutors. The songwriter, born Tremaine Neverson, left court wearing a hood covering his face and declined to comment.

He was granted supervised release, with the judge noting that his history of run-ins with the law made him a risk. Songz is due back in court on February 18, per The Post. Representatives for Songz did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

### Previous Legal Issues

Trey Songz’s legal troubles are not new. In 2016, the “Na Na” hitmaker was arrested and charged with assault following an onstage meltdown at his Detroit concert during which he threw microphones and speakers from the stage. He later took a plea deal on two counts of disturbing the peace and served 18 months of probation.

In 2018, a woman accused Songz of striking her face during an NBA All-Star event and obtained a restraining order against him. That same month, he was arrested on felony assault charges; however, all charges were ultimately dropped.

In January 2021, Songz was arrested again after being involved in a wild, caught-on-camera brawl with a police officer during a Kansas City Chiefs game. After his release from jail, the “Bottoms Up” crooner posted a series of photos on social media from a private jet, joking, “Chiefs game was lit right?!”

That same year, Songz faced a sexual assault investigation after former Las Vegas basketball player Dylan Gonzalez accused him of rape. He denied all claims and was cleared of all allegations by April 2022 due to lack of evidence.

In February 2022, he was accused of additional sexual assault incidents in a $20 million lawsuit, which included allegations of “brutal” rape. A confidential settlement was reached that September.

### Ongoing Lawsuits

Most recently, Songz has been sued for sexual assault over an incident alleged to have occurred in 2013. According to documents obtained by Page Six, the plaintiff, identified as Jane Doe, claimed that Songz “came up behind” her at an event. She stated she was “shocked” when he allegedly “ripped back her bathing suit top, grabbed her breasts, and exposed them” to others inside the tent, as outlined in the lawsuit.

That lawsuit is currently pending, with Songz’s legal team continuing to file motions to dismiss the complaint.
