Trey Songz

Early life

Tremaine Aldon Neverson was born on November 28, 1984, in Petersburg, Virginia. He is the son of Claude Neverson Jr. and April (Gholson) Tucker, who was 17 when he was born. Raised as a military brat by his mother and stepfather, Neverson did not have aspirations for a musical career as a child due to his shyness, saying "Singing wasn't a reality for me, until other people started noticing I sounded good." He recognized his vocal abilities at the age of 14.

Career

2003–2006: Early career and ''I Gotta Make It''

After graduating from Petersburg High School in 2002, Trey Songz moved to New Jersey to begin recording his debut studio album, though recording did not begin until 2003. Also in 2003, Troy Taylor signed Songz to his label, called Songbook Entertainment, which soon led to a joint venture with Atlantic Records. While recording his-then upcoming and untitled debut album in 2004, Songz released multiple mixtapes under the alias Prince of Virginia. One of his mixtapes that features an "answer track" to R. Kelly's "Trapped in the Closet", titled "Open the Closet", which granted Songz some regional attention. Songz's debut single, "Gotta Make It" (featuring Twista), released in March 2005, reached at number 87 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 21 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. It garnered success in the R&B/urban community, but failed to make a mark in mainstream music. His debut studio album, I Gotta Make It was released on July 26, 2005. Upon its release, the album debuted at number 20 on the Billboard 200, selling 40,000 copies in its first week of sales. After the album had sold 300,000 records in the United States, the album second and final single, "Gotta Go", has released in July 2005, reaching at number 67 on the Hot 100 and number 11 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, becoming even more successful than his debut single in the R&B/urban community and in the mainstream community. After promotion for his debut concluded, he was featured on the lead single from Twista's fifth album, The Day After. The single, "Girl Tonite", reached at number 14 on the Hot 100 and number 3 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, becoming a huge hit.

2006–2008: ''Trey Day''

In mid-2006, Songz began working on a follow-up album to his debut record with longtime collaborator Troy Taylor and also employed Bryan-Michael Cox, Danja, Stargate, and R. Kelly into helping him create the album. Trey aimed for the album to be more mainstream-oriented than his debut album. His-then upcoming and untitled second album would be preceded by the lead single, "Wonder Woman", which was released in February 2007. It reached at number 54 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, but failed to impact the Hot 100. The album was going to be released on May 8, 2007, but was continually delayed in order for a successful single to precede the album, as the lead single failed to impact charts. However, because of the single's failure, his second album was delayed from May 2007 to October 2007. The album's second single, "Can't Help but Wait", was released as a promotional single not only towards his second album, but to its soundtrack of the film, Step Up 2 the Streets, in August 2007.

His second studio album, titled Trey Day, was released on October 2, 2007. The album reached at number 11 on the Billboard 200, selling 73,000 copies in its first week. It has since sold 400,000 records in the United States, becoming his second album not to be certified by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). After the album release, the single, "Can't Help but Wait", reached at number 14 on the Hot 100, and number 2 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. It became Songz's first Top 20 hit on the Hot 100, and helping the song boost his second album's first-week sales. The single was also nominated for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance at the 50th Grammy Awards. The third single from the album, "Last Time", was released in January 2008, and reached at number 69 on the Hot 100, and number 9 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The fourth and final single from the album, "Missin' You", was released in May 2008, but failed to chart completely. In mid-2008, Songz was nominated for a BET Award for Best Male R&B Artist, but did not win the award.

2008–2010: ''Ready''

In 2008, Trey began working on his-then upcoming and untitled third studio album with Bryan-Michael Cox, Sean Garrett, Stargate, and Taylor, while aiming for a more mature record than his first two full-length albums. The lead single from the album, "I Need a Girl", was released in April 2009 and reached #5 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop songs chart and #59 on the Hot 100, becoming an R&B/urban hit but not a mainstream hit. A promotional single, "Successful", featuring rapper Drake, was released in June 2009 and reached #17 on the Hot 100, becoming Songz's third Top 20 hit. The single also served as the second and final single from Drake's extended play (EP), So Far Gone. Before releasing his third album, Songz released a mixtape, titled Anticipation through his blog in June 2009, in which features some of these songs that would be included on his third album. Trey other mixtape, called Genesis was released in the summer of 2009.

On August 31, 2009, Trey released his third studio album, titled Ready. Upon its release, the album reached at number 3 on the Billboard 200, selling 131,000 copies in its first week.

Legal controversies

Assault of police officers accusations

In December 2016, following a performance at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Songz was arrested and charged with felony assault of a police officer and misdemeanor aggravated assault for injuring a photographer. Trey Songz pleaded guilty in August 2017 to two reduced counts of disturbing the peace, and was sentenced to 18 months of probation, substance screening and anger-management classes. In June 2018, Songz was sued in federal court for the incident that took place following the 2016 Detroit concert. A Detroit police officer alleges in the lawsuit that he suffered a "career-ending brain injury", and had to undergo a hip replacement when Songz allegedly punched him in the face. The officer alleged that after being hit, he and Songz fell to the floor, with the singer landing on top of the officer, causing him to hit his head on the concrete and also hurt his hip. A photographer working the show, also a party to the lawsuit, alleged that he sustained a head injury after Songz allegedly threw a microphone stand at him.

On January 24, 2021, Songz was arrested in Kansas City, Missouri, while attending the conference championship game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills. Songz was being heckled by fans, and he asked them to "chill out". An officer came over, and from sources and a video released by TMZ, an altercation ensued. This altercation led to Songz being arrested, and charges of trespassing, resisting arrest, both misdemeanors, and for assaulting a police officer, a felony. He was released from custody the next day. Sources connected to Songz with direct knowledge told TMZ he believes the officer in question had been biased against him long before the altercation, and when the officer approached him he was immediately aggressive. Another source says the officer's issue before the incident was that Songz and his crew were not wearing masks and refused to put them on. The Kansas City Police Department released the security video from their section, which showed that the police warned Songz and his entourage several times during multiple encounters with security and police, eventually resulting in Songz being escorted out of the seating area, at which point he threw the first punch at the police officer. In November 2024, the singer has been ordered to pay the police officer more than $11 million in damages.

Sexual assault accusations

On January 22, 2017, actress/singer Keke Palmer accused Songz of secretly filming her and using the footage without her permission in the music video for his remix with Fabolous of the Travis Scott and Young Thug song “Pick Up the Phone”. She also accused him of using "sexual intimidation" while recording her, and that at one point during the alleged incident she hid from him in a closet so she would not be filmed and berated by him. Songz disputed these claims, asserting that Palmer knowingly entered a video shoot and was subsequently recorded by a cameraman. Songz denied the claims during an interview on The Breakfast Club, stating: "I did not put her in the video without her permission. I don't care that much to sneak Keke Palmer in the video for two seconds."

In 2020, a woman claimed that Songz sexually assaulted her at E11Even Miami nightclub on January 1, 2018. She later filed a lawsuit seeking damages of $10 million. The lawsuit was later dismissed.

On December 30, 2021, Dylan Gonzalez, a former member of University of Las Vegas' women's basketball team, tweeted, "Trey Songz Is A Rapist". On January 11, 2022, she released a statement on social media accusing Songz of raping her "at a well known Las Vegas hotel". Songz later denied the accusation.

In February 2022, a third woman accused Trey Songz of rape, saying he anally raped her in March 2016. That civil suit was concluded and settled in 2024 following mediation.

In 2023, Tyrelle Dunn, a Maryland Capitol police officer, sued Songz for sexually assaulting Dunn's wife on November 28, 2021 at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas. In March 2025, it was reported that a jury trial for the 2021 sexual assault has been scheduled for March 16, 2026.

December 2025 night spot assault accusations

In December 2025, Trey Songz was arrested and charged with one count of felony criminal mischief and numerous misdemeanor charges involving two counts of third-degree assault, attempted assault and aggravated harassment following two different altercations which he took that month at night spots in Manhattan, with one of the incidents even resulting in $1,500 worth of damage.
