23 hours ago 2

Singer Trey Songz was arrested for assault after allegedly punching a nightclub employee in the face earlier this month.

Songz and his friends were partying at Dramma Night Club in Times Square on Dec. 6 and allegedly “became needlessly irate” when a worker told him the club was closing around 4 a.m., prosecutors said in Manhattan criminal court, according to The Post.

Prosecutors claim the 41-year-old punched the worker in the face, causing “swelling and substantial pain.”

Songz appeared Manhattan Criminal Court on Sunday and was charged on two counts — mischief in the second degree and assault in the third degree.

The employee was granted an order of protection against Songz, who is a regular at the night club, according to prosecutors.

The songwriter, born Tremaine Neverson, left court wearing a hood covering his face and declined to comment.

He was granted supervised release as the judge noted his history of run-ins with the law made him a risk and is due back in court Feb. 18, per The Post.

Reps for Songz did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.

In 2016, the “Na Na” hitmaker was arrested and charged with assault after an onstage meltdown in which he threw microphones and speakers from the stage of his Detroit concert.

Subsequently, the R&B artist took a plea deal on two counts of disturbing the peace and served 18 months of probation.

In 2018, a woman accused Songz of striking her in the face during an NBA All-Star event and obtained a restraining order against him.

That same month, he was arrested on felony assault charges, though all charges against him were ultimately dropped.

But in January 2021, he was arrested again after a wild caught-on-camera brawl with a cop as the Kansas City Chiefs game.

After being released from jail, the “Bottoms Up” crooner poked fun at the incident, posting a series of photos on a private jet to social media and quipped, “Chiefs game was lit right?!”

That same year, he was subject to a sexual assault investigation after former Las Vegas basketball player Dylan Gonzalez accused the singer of raping her.

Songz denied all of her claims and was cleared of all allegations by April 2022 due to lack of evidence.

He was accused of more incidents of sexual assault in February 2022 in a $20 million lawsuit, including “brutal” rape. A confidential settlement was reached back in September.

In the latest lawsuit against him, the musician was sued for sexual assault after a woman alleged he groped her breasts during an incident in 2013.

In documents obtained by Page Six, Jane Doe claimed that Songz “came up behind” her, and she was “shocked” to see that he allegedly “ripped back her bathing suit top, grabbed her breasts, and exposed them” to those inside of the tent, per the lawsuit.

That lawsuit is still pending as his team continues to file motions to dismiss Doe’s complaint.
