UPDATED 1/17/25, 6:50 p.m. ET: Trey Songz just secured a huge win in his 2023 Las Vegas battery case.

A judge in Las Vegas has dismissed a $11.2 million judgment against the singer. Ted Anastasiou, a representative for Songz, wrote in a statement that the ruling is a huge step forward in seeking justice and highlighted how the investigations have rendered the original lawsuit baseless.

"Today’s ruling is a critical step toward justice for Trey, reaffirming that baseless allegations have no place in our legal system. The Las Vegas Police Department conducted a thorough investigation, including witness statements, phone records, and DNA evidence, and found no basis for charges—exposing the lack of credibility in these claims," wrote Anastasiou. "Trey is confident that when the truth comes out in court. He looks forward to putting this matter behind him, releasing new music, and getting back on tour in the coming months to connect with his loyal fans who have stood by him."

A Las Vegas judge has ordered Trey Songz to fork up millions linked to a battery case from 2023.

TMZ reports that Songz has to pay $11 million in damages to Tyrelle Dunn, who previously claimed that Songz and his security attacked him while he was trying to save his wife from Songz’s Vegas hotel room in 2021.

The incident happened around Songz’s birthday in November 2021, when he allegedly invited a group of women to his hotel room at The Cosmopolitan. Dunn later claimed in his lawsuit that his wife was in duress and yelled for help because she was being held against her will.

Songz and his security allegedly assaulted the Maryland Capitol police officer when he attempted to rescue his wife. In the filing, Dunn said that the altercation resulted in numerous injuries, including fractured eye sockets and scarring, and he had to miss work. The money will cover Dunn’s medical expenses, pain and suffering, and punitive damages.

In April 2022, Songz was found not guilty in the criminal case; Dunn subsequently sued the singer. The default judgment against Songz resulted from his failure to respond to the lawsuit.
