Following his alleged assault on two people a few months ago, American artist Trey Songz reportedly visited law enforcement in a bid to honor a police investigation.
According to reports, the musician is accused of assaulting two individuals violently at a bowling alley in October, with one of them ultimately ending up in the hospital.
The motive for the physical altercation is unknown, but Songz's legal team says the singer is cooperating with law enforcement.

Trey Songz Allegedly Assaulted Two People At A Bowling Alley
Police were notified after a lady accused the "Na Na" singer of abusing her severally in October. A New York police source told TMZ that the alleged victim reported Songz for punching her numerous times in the face inside a bowling alley washroom in October.
Although it's unclear what happened between them, the woman in question is reportedly a worker at the establishment.
The woman also claimed Songz pulled her by the hair, which led to a hospitalization for what the police described as minor injuries. Cops developed an interest in speaking with the artist to get his perspective on the situation after a case was opened to investigate the allegations.
Trey Songz Turned Himself In
In reaction to the allegations, the "Heart Attack" singer honored the police call and willingly presented himself, according to a TMZ report.
Songz reported himself to the NYPD, where he was processed, given a desk appearance citation for assault, and then released. The musician has also been accused of having punched a second victim, a man, in the eye.
The singer's lawyer, Mitch Schuster, told the news outlet, "We have been proactively communicating with NY law enforcement, the DA, and all those involved."
"While we will respectfully and proactively work through all the appropriate channels we are confident that Trey will be fully cleared of any wrongdoing."
Trey Songz Was Accused Of Rape
In a $20 million lawsuit, "Mr. steal yo girl," as he is also known, was charged with anally raping a woman at a house party.
A Jane Doe who claimed they had consensual sexual intercourse until Songz suddenly turned into a "savage rapist" filed a lawsuit against the popular R&B star, per TMZ.
The woman claimed that the singer invited her to a house party in Los Angeles, after which he led her upstairs for what she thought would be consensual sex. Instead, she claims that Songz asked her several times if he could "grab that a**" on the way upstairs, to which she repeatedly said "no" and ordered him to stop.
She asserted that someone entered at some point during the incident, making her feel optimistic that the ordeal was about to end, but the person quickly left, prompting the singer to allegedly continue raping her.
She continued, saying that after being admitted to the hospital, medical tests revealed she had "serious anal tearing that could require surgery." Still, she had withheld Songz's name from the police because she was "in shock and terrified for her life."
The Rape Lawsuit Was Dismissed
Songz's legal team successfully argued that the statute of limitations had passed long before the accuser filed her complaint, leading to the dismissal of the rape action last November.
According to TMZ, the Jane Doe filed the case earlier this year, asserting that she and Songz had consensual sexual intercourse up until March 24, 2016, when Songz allegedly changed into a "savage rapist."
The statute of limitations in California at the time of the alleged assault is ten years, although that wasn't made official until 2019. Before that, it was three years. The woman filed Six years after the alleged rape.
It will also be recalled that Songz was acquitted in April following a sexual assault inquiry related to an event that occurred in Las Vegas in November 2021.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department's investigation resulted in no criminal charges being brought against the singer, according to the Daily Mail. However, the case may be reopened if additional evidence is discovered.
