R&B star Trey Songz arrested after 'assaulting woman in strip club' by throwing money at her

He's known for singing about 'ladies in the club.' But it looks like Trey Songz' fondness for partying has got him into trouble.

The chart-topping R&B star, whose real name is Tremaine Neverson, was arrested for assault after he allegedly threw some money which caught a woman in the left eye causing 'substantial pain'.

The incident happened on 22 August at the club in Queens, New York, although the story is just now going public.

According to the New York Daily News, the singer was at the gentleman’s club hosting an album release party for his new CD Studio V.

'Tremaine Neverson, did throw a sum of United States currency at the complainant and said sum of United States currency struck the complainant's left eye causing substantial pain to her left eye,' police officers wrote in the criminal complaint.

Songz was taken into custody a month later for misdemeanor assault.

Songz faced a judge in November regarding the matter and is scheduled to appear in court again in February.

His album Studio V debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart when it was released in August, and has spawned a series of hits including Two Reasons in which he brags about partying with ladies in clubs.
