Thursday, January 22, 2026 - R&B singer Trey Songz is suing police officers over his arrest at the 2021 AFC Championship game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills.
Songz real name Tremaine Neverson, made the negligence
claims in a Thursday (Jan. 22) lawsuit against the Kansas City Police
Department (KCPD), whose officers arrested the singer following an
altercation in the stands of GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in January 2021.
Police alleged at the time that Songz became violent with
officers after refusing to comply with stadium rules. He was jailed for a night
and investigated but ultimately never charged, with prosecutors
citing insufficient evidence of a crime.
Now, Songz claims that he was the one being heckled,
threatened and harassed by fellow football fans that day in Kansas City. Songz
alleges KCPD officers failed to protect him, as did private security contractor
Whelan Event Services and stadium sponsor GEHA (short for Government Employees
Health Association, a nonprofit insurance company).
“Instead of exercising their professional duty to intervene
and protect plaintiff Tremaine A. Neverson, an invitee to GEHA Field at
Arrowhead Stadium, the defendants Whelan Event Services and defendant KCPD
physically assaulted, wrongfully arrested, handcuffed and detained Plaintiff
Tremaine A. Neverson in jail,” reads the lawsuit.
Songz is seeking unspecified financial damages for “serious,
permanent and progressive injuries to his person and professional reputation.”
