LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Tremaine Neverson, also known as ‘Trey Songz,’ is expected to testify in his defense in a civil trial, according to court documents obtained by the 8 News Now Investigators.
Clark County District Court Judge Jacob Reynolds scheduled a jury trial for March 16, 2026.
The plaintiff, Tyrelle Dunn, alleged Neverson and his security guards beat him after he tried to rescue his wife who reported being held against her will at The Cosmopolitan on Nov. 28, 2021.
Reynolds had ordered an $11.2 million default judgment, which included nearly $28,000 for medical expenses, $5 million for pain and suffering, $5 million for punitive damages, and $1.2 for prejudgment interest, against the singer on Oct. 10. Reynolds dismissed the judgment on Jan. 16 after Neverson claimed he was unaware of a lawsuit filed against him despite a reporter reaching out to an attorney who said he represented the singer more than one year ago and despite previous news stories on the lawsuit.
An early case conference was held on Feb. 25, according to court documents.
In Dunn’s description of what occurred, he said he heard his wife screaming for help, attempted to enter the room to help her, and was physically assaulted and battered by Neverson and his associates.
Dunn previously wrote in an affidavit that he suffered fractures to both eye sockets, and injuries to his nose, face, ribs, stomach, ear, and head, and missed more than a month of work as a Maryland Capitol police officer.
In Neverson’s description of what occurred, he claimed sex was consensual and when Dunn barged in, he defended himself. Security guards escorted Dunn away where an altercation apparently occurred, according to Neverson.
Dunn is suing for battery, assault, negligence, and negligent hiring, training, supervision and retention.
“The parties briefly discussed settlement during the early case conference, which did not result in resolution of the matter,” the report stated.
Dunn’s medical bills to date amount to nearly $28,000, according to the report.
Las Vegas Metro police responded to the incident. In March 2022, police said Neverson would not be charged.
“The LVMPD has concluded the investigation into the sexual assault allegations against Tremaine Neverson and determined that no criminal charges will be filed. If any new evidence comes to light, the case will be reopened for further investigation,” the department said in a statement.
Neverson is best known for 2010 hits, “Bottoms Up,” and “Say Aah.” He referred to himself as a “prominent R&B singer,” in an affidavit.
Neverson has faced previous allegations of sexual and physical assaults.
In June 2023, a woman filed a lawsuit against Neverson alleging he pulled down her bikini top to expose her breast in front of a crowd of people including her co-workers at an event in Connecticut in 2013.
Women claim singer Trey Songz drugged and sexually assaulted them.
“Plaintiff, while nervously laughing to mask her shock and humiliation, immediately pulled her top back on and prepared for another assault, holding her arm over her chest for an extended period of time,” the complaint filed in the Central District of California stated.
The incident was captured on video.
The month prior, Neverson pleaded guilty to a disorderly conduct violation after he was accused of assault in New York.
In April 2023, a woman filed a lawsuit in California alleging Neverson sexually assaulted her at his home in 2016.
“Songz repeatedly asked plaintiff if he could ‘get that [expletive],’ meaning have anal sex,” the woman alleged. “Plaintiff repeatedly told defendant Songz no in response to defendant Songz’s requests.”
The woman claimed the singer then threw her to the ground and brutally sexually assaulted her. The woman ran out of the home, called a Lyft, and the driver, who noticed that the woman was in distress, rerouted the ride and took her to the hospital, the lawsuit alleged.
The medical center contacted Burbank Police, but the woman did not cooperate with police because she was terrified of Neverson, according to the complaint.
On at least two occasions, the woman and singer happened to be at the same events, the complaint stated.
“Songz would shout ‘get that slut out of here’ and create an environment so terrifying that Plaintiff would be forced to leave,” the lawsuit alleged.
At a New Year’s Eve party, Neverson saw the woman and started screaming that she was a “slut” and a liar,” and then his security detail assaulted the woman and told her to leave, according to the complaint.
The woman said that she relocated to another state because the singer’s terror was so severe.
In December 2021, Dylan Gonzalez, a former University of Nevada Las Vegas basketball player tweeted, “Trey Songz is a rapist.”
“With what seems like endlessly reoccurring news of the alleged sexual assaults committed by Trey Songz, I am forced to repeatedly relive in my mind, and suffer anew, the long-suppressed horror and unbearable PTSD of my rape by his very hands at a well-known Las Vegas hotel,” she said in a statement. “I want to send my love, strength and hope to all who are victims of sexual assault and its fatal nature. You are not alone.”
In 2020, a woman filed a lawsuit accusing Neverson of sexual assault and battery at a Miami nightclub in 2018.
The unnamed woman claimed that he forcefully and inappropriately touched her without her consent.
The woman and her friends had spent New Year’s Eve celebrating at the home of Sean “P. Diddy” Combs when Trey Songz invited them to EllEVEN nightclub, the complaint stated.
The unnamed woman stated another woman had confided in her Neverson had also sexually assaulted her earlier that night.
In 2018, two men filed a lawsuit against Neverson in the Eastern District of Michigan Southern Division. Robert Avery was working crowd control as a sergeant for the Detroit Police Department and Andrew Potter was a professional photographer with credentials.
Neverson became irate, hurled heavy equipment off of the stage and into the crowd, destroyed items on the stage, and picked up a microphone and threw it at Potter, according to the complaint.
In a dressing room, Neverson was combative and shouted racially derogatory expletives to officers, the lawsuit alleged. Neverson struck Avery in the face with a closed fist and then caused Avery to hit his head on the concrete and injure his hip, the complaint stated.
The complaint also referred to videos posted by Neverson showing disdain for law enforcement days before the incident, in which he yelled, “[expletive] the police!”
Neverson is part of “The Millenium Tour,” which includes a stop at MGM Grand Garden Area on April 25, 2025.
