Trey Songz remains silent after court as legal team responds to allegations

After leaving the courthouse, Songz had his hood up and stayed silent, avoiding any public comments. The judge granted him supervised release due to concerns about his past legal troubles. He is due back in court on February 18.

In a statement provided to Page Six, Songz’s legal counsel said,

“He was charged in connection with an incident that occurred last week. He is cooperating fully and looks forward to the facts coming to light.”

Addressing the separate altercation, the statement added,

“Separately, 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.”

The statement further noted,

“Public figures are often treated as targets for instigation in pursuit of headlines or financial gain. We are confident the facts will speak for themselves.”

Trey Songz’s history of legal issues and ongoing lawsuits

Over the last decade, Songz has faced several legal issues. In 2016, authorities arrested him after a Detroit concert incident on stage. He took a plea deal and was put on probation. Another accusation of assault followed in 2018, but those charges did not stick and were dismissed. Then in 2021, he ended up arrested again after a confrontation with police at a Kansas City Chiefs game.

The singer has faced many accusations of sexual assault over the years. Some were dropped due to a lack of evidence, and others were settled out of court.

The case linked to the most recent alleged assault is still in progress, and Songz is getting ready for his upcoming court date.
