Rapper Trey Songz Accused Of Beating A Woman At Hollywood Party

LOS ANGELES, CA — Rapper Trey Songz was arrested Monday on suspicion of domestic violence for allegedly beating a woman at a NBA All-star afterparty in Hollywood.

Los Angeles police arrested Songz, 33, Monday morning around 6:30 a.m., and he was released on $50,000 bail by 8 a.m., according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department jail records. The rapper, whose real name is Tremaine Neverson, surrendered to police with his attorney, TMZ reported.

Songz contends he is innocent.

"For weeks my lawyers and (management) have asked me not to comment on this and I initially agreed but this morning I feel that my (family) and fans especially the youth need to hear from me," he wrote. "I am being lied on and falsely accused for someone's personal gain. I won't be speaking too much more on this but would like to thank you for all the prayers and support."

Andrea Buera, 27, who filed a restraining order against the rapper after the alleged attack, said Songz brutally beat her because he was jealous. She said she suffered a concussion and had to be hospitalized after the attack in front of numerous witnesses at the party.

Buera held a news conference with attorney Lisa Bloom in Woodland Hills last week.

"I was attending an after-party when Trey began yelling at me, choking me, punching me and ultimately he knocked me to the ground," she said. "While I was on the ground, he continued punching me. And he did not stop until his security guard pulled him off of me."

Buera obtained a restraining order against the singer earlier this month, alleging in court papers that Songz became upset with her at the Feb. 18 party, which was held at a home he was renting, because she was talking to another man.

Bloom said the singer is already on probation in Michigan for punching a police officer.
