Trey Songz has reached a settlement in a civil lawsuit stemming from a New Year’s Eve 2018 nightclub incident.
Songz, born Tremaine Neverson, was sued in 2021 by Jauhara Jeffries, who accused him of groping her and assaulting her on a Miami dance floor. In her complaint, Jeffries alleged that Songz “non-consensually” penetrated her with his fingers while the two were on the dance floor.
“This court has been advised that the matter has been settled as to all parties and therefore, it is hereby ordered and adjudged that this case is dismissed,” Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Antonio Arzola wrote in an order. The judge noted the court retains jurisdiction to enforce the terms of the agreement.
The star has denied all of the allegations against him. The case had been scheduled to go to trial next month before being resolved privately. This is one of many legal battles Songz has had to face in court.
In January, Songz scored a win in court after a Las Vegas judge dismissed an $11.2 million judgment filed against him.
The singer claimed he was unaware of a lawsuit filed by a security guard named Tyrelle Dunn, who alleged Songz, real name Tremaine Neverson, and his security guards beat him after he tried to rescue his wife. Dunn allegedly suffered fractures to both eye sockets and injuries to his nose, face, ribs, stomach, ear, and head. He claims he was forced to miss a month of work due to his injuries.
