Trey Songz is suing the Kansas City Police Department over its handling of an incident that led to his arrest during the AFC Championship Game between the Chiefs and Buffalo Bills in 2021.

According to a lawsuit obtained by TMZ, Songz alleges that he was “physically assaulted, wrongfully arrested, handcuffed and detained” after security guards and officers arrived at his section in the stadium. The singer claims that authorities failed to protect him from “unruly, aggressive and intoxicated attendees” who were threatening and harassing him.

Following his arrest, witnesses told TMZ that Songz was being heckled by people seated a few rows back when the officer showed up and “went after him” without warning. Songz was charged with trespassing, resisting arrest, and assaulting a police officer. However, these charges were later dismissed.

The lawsuit states that Songz suffered physical injuries, emotional distress, damage to his professional reputation, and financial losses as a result of the incident. He is seeking unspecified damages.

In a separate matter, Songz was arrested last month for causing over $1,500 worth of damage to property and equipment at a hookah lounge in New York City. It was then discovered that the singer was wanted for another incident at a Times Square nightclub that same night. In that incident, he allegedly punched an employee who informed him that the venue was closing and that he needed to leave.

His attorney, Mitchell Schuster, stated that his client, who has pleaded not guilty to assault, harassment, and criminal mischief, is “cooperating fully and looks forward to the facts coming to light.”
