American R&B singer Trey Songz is suing the Kansas<\/a> City Police Department over a five-year-old incident which occurred at a Chiefs playoff game.<\/p>\n

Back in January 2021, the ‘Na Na’ singer was attending the AFC Championship game between the Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills<\/a> at Arrowhead Stadium.<\/p>\n

According to the lawsuit, obtained by the Daily Mail, the now-41-year-old singer was in his seat when other fans began to heckle him ‘because of his notoriety.’<\/p>\n

The singer, born\u00a0Tremaine Aldon Neverson, claims in the filing that those shouts ‘escalated into threats and harassment’ – leading security to be called over to his seat.<\/p>\n

However, as the suit claims, security and police that arrived failed to protect him from ‘unruly, aggressive, and intoxicated attendees’ and instead ‘physically assaulted, wrongfully arrested, handcuffed and detained’ the singer instead.<\/p>\n

Neverson was thrown in jail and was charged with trespassing, resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer. All of those charges were eventually dismissed.<\/p>\n

The singer took these pictures at Arrowhead Stadium – where he claims he was harassed by other fans before police detained him and used ‘excessive force’ to throw him in jail<\/p>\n

The suit accuses the KCPD and the security company Whelan Event Services of ‘carelessly and negligently act[ing] without due care on the day in question, thereby directly causing or directly contributing to cause [Neverson’s] injuries.’<\/p>\n

The filing also accuses the KCPD of use of excessive force, wrongful detainment and the unlawful arrest of Neverson – which is alleged to have caused the singer ‘serious, permanent, and progressive injuries to his person, and professional reputation.’<\/p>\n

Damages that Neverson is seeking have not been specified in the filing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Kansas City Police Department declined the Daily Mail’s request for comment.<\/p>\n

This is not the only legal issue the ‘Say Aah’ singer is dealing with.<\/p>\n

Neverson was arrested in December 2025 and charged with felony criminal mischief and misdemeanor assault over two separate alleged altercations at night clubs in New York City.<\/p>\n

In one of the incidents, Neverson’s attorneys claim he was ‘confronted by individuals who instigated a confrontation and attempted to surround him’ before his security intervened and an altercation broke out.<\/p>\n

Attorneys representing the singer said of the charges, ‘He is cooperating fully and looks forward to the facts coming to light.’<\/p>\n
