Trey Songz says he is contemplating legal action against the Springfield, Massachusetts, police department after he and two members of his entourage were arrested early Sunday morning following a performance at Springfield’s Hippodrome.
Trey spoke exclusively to MTV News and told them what really went down. Read on:
“My homie goes to get one of the police officers to escort us out of there and [someone in the parking lot] started bussin’ [firing a gun],” Songz recalled. “So we started ducking in the car. So my homie runs back to the car and gets in like, ‘They bussin’!’ By the time we look up, we see the police [had] apprehended somebody, so we said, ‘We ain’t finnin’ to wait.’ We got out the car and proceeded to walk, ’cause the hotel is only a block away. The police stopped us and were like, ‘Hold up, hold up.’
Songz said that one officer tried to take down his tall, 300-pound bodyguard but did not succeed, so more officers got involved and took him down.
“It was seven on him, beating his a–,” Songz said bitterly. “He caught it in the back of the head with a nightstick. His face was swollen. His arm was out of place.”
Trey’s MugshotSongz said he too got roughed up after yelling at one of the officers. He said he was angry because he saw a group of white officers laughing about what had just happened, and verbalized his disdain.
“The officers were joking about hitting [us],” Trey fumed. “I was like, ‘Man, y’all stomped my n—a’s face in.’ That’s when they tackled me. It was like four officers on me. One officer had his knee in my throat. They was kicking me in the ribs. Talking to people in that community, they say that thing happens all the time. [ READ MORE ]
T.I. DROPS THANKSGIVING REQUEST
Looks like T.I. won’t get to party with his family and friends this Thanksgiving. The rapper submitted a request to allow others into his home to celebrate the holidays while on house arrest but has since canceled it. Strong opposition from the prosecution played a big role in T.I.’s decision, they’ve taken the stance that the rapper is receiving special treatment. Although each visitor in his home is required to be approved by the courts, his list of 95 people has made it difficult.
T.I. is potentially looking over 30 years in prison if he is convicted of the federal weapons charges he faces.
J.LO FINALLY ANNOUNCES PREGNANCY
You’ve heard the news. Jennifer Lopez is officially pregnant. She and Marc Anthony announced it to her fans on the last stop of their tour. As if we all didn’t know anyway. Check the video above.
Congrats to J. Lo and Marc, but 4 real enough about her already damn…who cares about her anymore.
F***D up wat happened to Trey, unfortunately these things happen every day and will continue to occur.
T.I. is acting mad ignorant, for real he should just be happy that he’s not spending Thanksgiving in jail instead of making unreasonable requests…i just dont get ppl sometimes
Everybody is talkin about rascism and the stuff that happened to Trey n his dudes, this white vs black stuff, what yall aint thinkin about is that ARABS suffer the most
and they aint even out in the streets like that ya dig? So for all black people to say that the white man is doin the black man wrong, IS WRONG. Everybody from every country or race have some people that is messed up… A black person can speak badly about a arab and laugh about it. So i guess its both ways..
- A REAL NIGGA FROM HARLEM.
ARABS? Nigga Please!
jlo’s fans are a trip. i mean i’m happy for her but i wouldn’t be screaming at the top of my lungs. it’s not my baby
Feel it for Trey man!!!
T.I.’s skinny OVERRATED azz can go to jail for 30 yrs and i wouldnt shed one fuckin tear. Serves his ignorant ass right!! CRIME DOESN’T PAY.
As someone wrote in a post from about 1 week ago:
If/When T.I. is in jail it’s really gonna become T.I. Vs T.I.P. cause he’s got all those DICK TIPS just waiting to fuck his scrawny prison bitch ass.
Awww Trey babe.
Sounds like dat night was rough.
LMAO, how da hell yall find a pic of him gettin a turkey out off the oven?? Dats funni
Congrats but who cares? People screamin like its going to be their child.
1. Lol @ Clifford trying to get 95 people together for Thanksgiving when he’s on house arrest. It’s called punishment for a reason T.I., somewhere along the line it’s going to suck!
2. Whatever J-Lo.
3. That is so wrong #59, lmfao! And he couldn’t really put up a fight, look at his arms! Hehe.
That TI pic is funny as hell. I was all for a family dinner until I saw the head count. We do have to keep in mind that 92 of those ppl were his kids and their mothers.
I’m happy for JLO. I wonder how the concert was. I don’t know about JLO, but Marc Anthony is crazy talented and his band is serious! congrats!
Really, Jenny? I thought u just swallowed a watermelon seed. I would say f everybody I don’t have to announce shyt…catch a clue. But…she might wanna go somewhere and sit down…
thank you ConcreteLoop…better late then never, i guess….:|
First of all, Trey never said “Do you know who I am?” or any of that shit.
that was a rumor started by other blogs that already hate him to make him look bad. they can take that crap & shove it back up their asses.
Second of all, if you all knew Trey was an innocent person to begin with, then why did you all talk that shit about him in the first place when CL first posted this story? You guys are all trying act like you care now; when you first heard this, you were all trashing him, calling him disgraceful & whatnot. If you really thought that he was innocent to begin with, you should have tried to find out the truth before conjuring up lies. Nowhere in the first post of this story on any blog did it say that Trey shot anyone.
But there sure were blogs (& haters) that made it seem that way. & you all fed into the hype & believed it, as if you had no sense to begin with. for shame.
& # 44, i have questions for you:
why the hell would Trey MAKE UP that ENTIRE story? & are you insinuating that it’s “ok” if the cops beat them up (even though they didn’t commit any crimes or have any weapons), as long as they weren’t injured “that bad”? the cops have the right to harass & assault random & oblivious witnesses to a crime? even if they did talk back to the police in any way, the police should never have the right to use excessive force like that in anyway.
how do you know that this happened in an area of the club parking lot that other club goers were present in? oh yeah, that’s right! everyone was too busy running AWAY from the club’s vicinity because some crazy ass mofo was shooting it up! So, the notion that there may not have been that many people around to witness this besides Trey & the police IS plausible.
& as for Kenny not “looking” traumatized, that doesn’t mean he’s still not physically injured. he’s not Chris Brown’s tone & this happened at night. it’s likely that you won’t be able to see bruises, honey. & he can smile if he wants to; damn it, this is a free country & a man can choose to hide his pain any way he wants.
i am SO sick & tired of this “maybe it’s Trey’s fault” bullshit. shut the fuck up.
PREACH ON # 72
COULDNT HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF!!!
cosigns with #72…ti just need to quit…congrats to j lo and marc
im with the dude up top …….why the hell would this n*gger have a damn gun on his waste with the hoodie ass wife beater and newport hanging out his mouth bout to spill on the turkey he want to pretend them 89 mufukas is gon eat. “nigg@ who are u fooling”
trying to get some damn sympathy from ppl wit that lonely ass one damn turkey. Truth is yall was gon cater the shit, get drunk an wild the fuk out before yo ass go to jail. This shyt reminds me of being “all nigg@’d out” on the hotghettomess blog. Stupid,Rich,Nigg@!
For #72 I didn’t say Trey made up his ENTIRE story but yes I do find some of it hard to believe. I NEVER said it was ok for the cops to beat them up or anyone else for that matter. I have seen police brutality firsthand and have been in situations myself where things could go wrong with the cops. As I said I work in an area I hear a lot about the incidents involving police brutality and officers being sued. That is because I handle work in the litigation department for the city. If someone sues the city or the police department I see their suit. So I have seen things you can’t even imagine in regards to police brutality. That’s why I said if Trey sues I can’t wait to see his complaint. Your right the police don’t have the right to use excessive force if someone just talks back to them. But if they ask you to do something in a situation like this and you don’t comply they will use force to get you to comply anyone knows that. And as for me saying no one saw or has come forward to say they saw what Trey described is because I know the area, I have lived here all my life. The club is on Main St. in our downtown, right next to it is a tavern and next to that is our bus station. On the other side of the club is a popular restaurant and across the street is what we call out “entertainment district” which is basically many bars and restaurants and another night club. This isn’t a large city so when I say across the street I mean literally across the street. In the back of the club are a couple of more restaurant and small club like places and behind that is a main road that is used to access the highway. True people were running when shots went off but it’s not like the lot cleared and became a ghost town. With the setup of the area SOMEONE would’ve seen something, that is what I’m saying. And the part about him smiling is an observation I made after seeing him. I’m looking at the situation from a different point of view that’s all and it’s because I’m not just going off Trey word. I know the area, I know the club. I was supposed to go to Trey’s show but thought it might not be appropriate considering I have some ongoing things with the club thru my work. I know when any performer comes to that club due to their history the police are made aware of them and are ready for any problems that may occur due to incidents in the past. That is why they were on the seen so quickly when called for a disturbance there and were able to catch the shooter and why the news was their so quickly to capture it. Also I said TREY didn’t look traumatized when I saw him and he didn’t if something like that happened and he was as hype as he describes don’t you think the news also would’ve captured that? And as for the “don’t you know who i am” line yes blogs are reporting it but i’ve heard this from other people who know firsthand knowledge of the situation too. And yes this happened at night and bruises aren’t always visible but if he was hurt an ambulance was on scene for the shooting victim. So I also wonder if the paramedics asked Kenny if he’d like treatment after sustaining his injuries. See I look at the situation for a different perspective because I have a different set of details.
Trey even looks good in his mug shot.
some of these posts are funny as hell. made my day.
i’m on trey’s side about everything except the leaving the scene…come on now, homie. cant do that here in va, you KNOW you cant do it up north. at least here they’ll ADMIT they had no reason to beat your ass.
whats with all these celebutards waiting to “announce” their pregnancy when 16 people in their entourage have already outed them AND they’re 6 months pregnant…jenny and xtina probably gonna wait till their kids are 12 before they let everyone know they even had em
2up 2 down…thats about it
DAYUMIT! I WANTED SOME TURKEY!!!! **kicks rocks**
this is ridiculous
we got fuckin’ cops around here callin people’s phones 24/7 askin for donations & fundin ,and be wonderin WHY nobody donate shit to their ass.
that’s messed up what they did to trey and what they did to Snoop at the airport.
Don’t BE FOOLED!
TO PROTECT & SERVE is not for Civilians & Commoners.
It’s to protect their assets. The Government. White People.
DAMNN JAi, i SEE Y0U 0N HERE REPPiN F0R THE WH0LE TREYS0NGZ.C0M // 804B0YZ FAM. . Y0U WENT 0FF. BUT iTS TRUE WHAT Y0U’RE SAYiNG.
&& C0NGRATS T0 MARC && J-L0, EVEN TH0 i NEVER LiKED THEM =]
Aww SHIT #51, I didn’t even see that, lol!!
I don’t know about Trey man, something doesn’t sound right. The story goes straight from “the police stopped us and were like, ‘hold up, hold up’” to “one officer tried to take down his tall, 300-pound bodyguard”… I just don’t see how there was no exchange of any kind before the officer stepped in (to get his ass embarrassed, lol). Sounds like somebody was being…typical…to me. And Trey’s statement doesn’t exactly scream “We handled the situation with the greatest intelligence and tact.” I mean, “Yall stomped my nigga’s face in”? Suuuuuuuure, okay. I’ve lived in Atlanta all my life, and while our city’s (recent) history has not been the same as some towns that are less progressive, we still see our share of racism. It just usually isn’t that simple. …not usually.
hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! TI is wildin!
that looks like the invite he probably sent the 95
people in the mail!
Oh, Trey. :[ i love him so much.
J Lo. Girl. Sit your pregnant self down and have some cheetos girl.
