Trey Songz turned himself in to the Los Angeles Police Department to face a felony domestic violence charge early Monday morning.
According to TMZ.com, The singer turned himself in, with his attorney, Shawn Holley, for the alleged incident involving a woman he was out with in L.A. last month during NBA All-Star weekend. He was booked at 6 a.m. and released shortly after 8 a/m. He posted a $50,000 bond.
Songz is accused of brutally beating the victim at a Hollywood Hills party where she claims he was upset because she was talking to another man.
Around the same time as his surrender, Songz broke his silence about the incident by proclaiming his innocence via social media.
“For weeks my lawyers and management have asked me not to comment on this and I initially agreed,” Songz said via Twitter. “But this morning I feel that my fam, the women that raised me, my friends and fans – especially the youth – need to hear from me. I am being lied on and falsely accused for someone’s personal gain. I won’t be speaking to much more on this, but [I] would like to thank you all for the prayers and support.”
