New York City prosecutors accused R&B artist Trey Songz of being involved in two altercations at Manhattan night spots this month, court documents revealed.
He was charged with one count of felony criminal mischief after an incident Sunday at 206 E. 34th St., the site of the Mira Mediterranean & Hookah Lounge, at 4 a.m., according to a criminal complaint from the Manhattan district attorney's office.
Songz, 41, born Tremaine Neverson, did more than $1,500 of damage to "various restaurant property," including hookahs, DJ equipment and sofas, the complaint alleged.
His attorney Mitchell Schuster said in a statement: "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."
"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," Schuster said.
Then, on Dec. 4 at 1604 Broadway, Songz struck another man in "the face with a closed first, causing swelling and substantial pain," Manhattan prosecutors said.
The Broadway location appears to match up with at least three bars sharing the same address.
Songz “struck, shoved, kicked and otherwise subjected another person to physical contact,” according to prosecutors.
He has been charged with a host of misdemeanors, including two counts of third-degree assault, attempted assault and aggravated harassment.
"Trey Songz was charged in connection with an incident that occurred last week," Schuster said. "He is cooperating fully and looks forward to the facts coming to light."
Songz was arraigned Sunday and released on his own recognizance.
They were not the first run-ins he has had with authorities.
He was accused of scuffling with police during a Kansas City Chiefs-Buffalo Bills playoff game in January 2021.
In early 2017, he was reported to have gotten into it with police as he was kicked out of a casino near Washington, D.C.
Songz was accused of trashing the Joe Louis Arena stage in Detroit in 2016 after his microphone was shut off during a show. He pleaded guilty to misdemeanor disturbing the peace and was sentenced to probation.
