Legal woes continue to mount for Trey Songz despite seeing a few of the sexual or physical assault lawsuits stacked against him dismissed in 2024.

Currently facing a staggering $11 million settlement due to an incident involving a Maryland police officer in 2021, the three-time GRAMMY nominee and his legal representatives are requesting the courts to overturn the judgment, arguing that it could have grave consequences for his financial stability and overall well-being.

In court documents obtained by ‘In Touch,’ Songz’ lawyers filed a motion to contest the judgement on the grounds it is an excessive punishment that could cause him undue financial, mental, and emotional strife.

As has been widely reported, a Las Vegas court ordered the singer (born Tremaine Neverson) to pay the hefty sum to the MD officer (Tyrelle Dunn) after he and his security guards allegedly physically assaulted Dunn while the policeman was trying to rescue his wife from the R&B star’s hotel room.

Although Tyrelle presented compelling evidence to sway the legal system in his favor, Neverson's legal team contends that there are gaps in the case that should exempt the performer from the obligation to pay the $11 million.

“Good cause exists to set aside the default judgment because [Tyrelle] did not properly serve the summons and complaint on [Trey] in accordance with Nevada or California law,” Trey’s lawyers claimed in the motion. “Trey did not know about this lawsuit until November 27, 2024, when he received Instagram messages from fans expressing support after news broke about Dunn’s default judgment. The enforcement of this default judgment will be devastating to Trey and could ruin his life.”

Subsequently, the lawyers argue that Trey – who strongly refutes Dunn's claims – deserves the chance to present his perspective.

“[Trey] deserves to have his day in court to defend himself, rather than being subjected to a massive default judgment which was improperly obtained in an underlying case that [Trey] knew nothing about until a week prior to filing this Motion,” the lawyers said.

The judge has not yet made a decision regarding the motion to dismiss the judgment.
