Trey Songz Ordered to Pay $11 Million

Trey Songz has been ordered to pay over $11 million to Tyrelle Dunn, a Maryland Capitol police officer, following a civil battery lawsuit stemming from a November 2021 incident in Las Vegas. The lawsuit alleges that Dunn was injured while attempting to rescue his wife, who was reportedly being held against her will in Songz's hotel room. Dunn claims he was attacked by Songz and his security team, resulting in serious injuries, including fractured eye sockets and emotional trauma. Although Songz was cleared of criminal wrongdoing in April 2022, he did not respond to the civil lawsuit, leading to a default judgment in Dunn's favor. The Las Vegas judge awarded Dunn compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and punitive damages, marking another legal challenge for Songz amidst ongoing controversies. Despite the judgment, Songz has not publicly commented on the outcome or indicated whether he plans to appeal.
