Trey Songz ordered to pay injured cop $11 million

According to TMZ, Trey Songz was ordered to pay Tyrelle Dunn, the injured police officer $11 million linked to his 2021 battery case. The incident allegedly occurred when the famous artist celebrated his thirty-seventh birthday in Las Vegas, Nevada, where the singer met Dunn’s wife. Dunn sued Trey Songz for his pain and suffering, punitive damages, and medical expenses.

A report on iHeart.com explained, “Songz allegedly brought a group of women to his hotel room at The Cosmopolitan. In his lawsuit, Dunn claimed that his wife was in that group and was allegedly held against her will. She reportedly screamed for help while she was inside the room. Dunn tried to save his wife but Songz and his security guards allegedly attacked him. As a result, he suffered from multiple injuries including scarring that prevented him from working and fractured eye sockets. 

Dunn filed a civil lawsuit against Songz after a judge cleared the singer after the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department investigated the situation and decided not to file charges. According to Songz’s legal team, there was insufficient evidence and inconsistencies found during witness testimony. The case was closed but LVMPD said they would reopen it if more evidence surfaced. Songz never responded to Dunn’s lawsuit, which led to a default judgment against the singer.”

At the time of the report, the troubled performer did not release a statement.
