Tremaine Aldon Neverson (born November 28, 1984), known professionally as Trey Songz, is an American R&B singer, songwriter and actor.

The latter was supported by the single "Can't Help but Wait", which peaked at number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was nominated for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance at the 51st Annual Grammy Awards.

Supported by the Grammy Award-nominated single "Heart Attack", his fifth album, Chapter V (2012), became his first to debut atop the Billboard 200.

His sixth album, Trigga (2014), became his second to do so, and spawned a commercial re-issue following the success of his 2015 single, "Slow Motion".

[5] Raised as a military brat by his mother and stepfather,[6] Neverson did not have aspirations for a musical career as a child due to his shyness, saying "Singing wasn't a reality for me, until other people started noticing I sounded good.

By 2003, Taylor signed Songz to his label Songbook Entertainment, which soon led to a joint venture with Atlantic Records.

[4] While recording his debut album in 2004, Songz released multiple mixtapes under the alias Prince of Virginia.

[13] In 2008, Trey began work on his third studio album with Bryan-Michael Cox, Sean Garrett, Stargate and Troy Taylor and aimed for a more mature record than his first two.

A promotional single, "Successful", featuring rapper Drake, was released in June 2009 and reached #17 on the Hot 100, becoming Songz's third Top 20 hit.

He also collaborated with R&B singer Amerie on her song "Pretty Brown", the third single from her fourth album, In Love & War.

The 10-part series ended in August 2010 and follows Trey during his time as opening act on the Jay-Z Fall Tour in late 2009.

The album's lead single, "Bottoms Up", featuring rapper Nicki Minaj, was released on July 27, 2010, and has reached number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming his biggest hit to date.

[20] Songz embarked on the Passion, Pain & Pleasure Tour on August 6, 2010, with singer Monica.

[29] Its music video was released on May 4 and featured then girlfriend Kelly Rowland playing Songz' love interest.

[37] On June 20, 2013, in a radio interview with KS 107.5, Songz confirmed that he had already recorded about eight songs for his sixth studio album.

[40] On April 1, 2014, 50 Cent released a single featuring Songz, titled "Smoke", from his fifth studio album Animal Ambition.

On July 1, 2014, Trey Songz released his sixth album Trigga and it debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 105,000 copies.

The LP is made up of 15 songs and the lone feature comes from fellow Virginia artist and frequent collaborator MIKExANGEL on "Games We Play.

[45] On June 5, in response to the uprising following the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, Songz released "2020 Riots: How Many Times".

On August 14, Songz released the second single "Circles", which was produced by his longtime collaborator Troy Taylor.

[54] It was alleged that the singer "began throwing objects after the venue cut his concert short due to an 11:30 pm curfew" and to have "struck an officer with his fist".

[55] Trey Songz pleaded guilty in August 2017 to two reduced counts of disturbing the peace, and was sentenced to 18 months of probation, substance screening and anger-management classes.

[54][56] In June 2018, Songz was sued in federal court for the incident that took place following the 2016 Detroit concert.

Another source says the officer's issue before the incident was that Songz and his crew were not wearing masks and refused to put them on.

[62] On January 22, 2017, actress/singer Keke Palmer accused Songz of secretly filming her and using the footage without her permission in the music video for his remix with Fabolous of the Travis Scott and Young Thug song “Pick Up the Phone”.

She also accused him of using "sexual intimidation" while recording her, and that at one point during the alleged incident she hid from him in a closet so she would not be filmed and berated by him.

[63] Songz disputed these claims, asserting that Palmer knowingly entered a video shoot and was subsequently recorded by a cameraman.

Songz denied the claims during an interview on The Breakfast Club, stating: "I did not put her in the video without her permission.

On December 30, 2021, Dylan Gonzalez, a former member of University of Las Vegas' women's basketball team, tweeted, "Trey Songz Is A Rapist".

[66] On January 11, 2022, she released a statement on social media accusing Songz of raping her "at a well known Las Vegas hotel".
