Trey Songz is dealing with yet another legal setback. The R&B singer has a long history of legal trouble, with many of his cases involving violence against women. This time around his issues come with a very hefty price tag.
According to TMZ, the “Bottoms Up” artist must pay Maryland Capitol police officer Tyrelle Dunn an $11 million settlement in connection with a 2021 incident in Las Vegas. At his 37th birthday party in November 2021, he “allegedly brought a group of women back to his hotel room at The Cosmopolitan.” In his lawsuit Dunn claims his wife, who was one of the women, “screamed for help and said she was being held against her will.”

Dunn alleges that as he attempted to get to his wife, he “was attacked by Songz and his security.” The officer claims that his “serious injuries” included “fractured eye sockets and scarring that caused him to miss work.”
There were no criminal consequences for Songz, but Dunn filed a lawsuit. The court documents state that since the singer “didn’t respond” to it, he ended up having a ‘default judgment entered against him.”
This is probably not the news Trey Songz wanted to hear right now, as he was recently announced as one of the performers on the 2025 Millennium Tour, alongside Omarion and Bow Wow.
Considering how much legal trouble the artist has found himself in in recent years, social media definitely had thoughts on the settlement.
One person wondered where the money would come from, writing on X, “Now yall know he ain’t got $11 million.”
Someone else pointed to the history of misconduct accusations against him, posting, “He been getting SA allegations & lawsuits for years LOCK HIM UP.”
Another user questioned why he’s not under more intense scrutiny, writing, “This man’s allegations keep getting quickly and easily forgotten. Is it because he’s not a big enough name to keep a story going?”
Maybe if he stops getting booked on major tours and people don’t shame the victim online, there will actually be consequences for his actions and he’ll be held responsible.
