Police say singer Trey Songz has been arrested for throwing microphones and speakers from the stage during a performance at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit.
The Detroit Police Department says Songz, whose real name is Tremaine Neverson, was arrested Wednesday night after the show.
Police spokesman Officer Dan Donakowski says Songz became “upset and belligerent” after he was told he had to end his concert and leave the stage at 11:30 p.m. A police sergeant was struck in the head by an object tossed from the stage.
Songz faces malicious destruction of property and resisting and obstructing charges. Police say he was being held early Thursday at the Detroit Detention Center.
The Detroit News reports that Chris Brown and Lil Yachty also performed at the concert.

Black Lives Matter violence.
Rap is not music. Rap is vulgar, sexual, harassing, racist, and threatening riming to questionable noise.
Just another black
Outburst. Like the
Malls..like baltimore
Like the slapping of innocent
People. Shooting of
Children. These people
Should be ashamed of
Themselves. Wow these
People are some role
Models.
No charge for assaulting an officer?
Why is it that all of these so-called “performers” can’t deal with everyday life without going berserk on a regular basis? I’m sure the ground rules of the event and venue were clearly defined in advance. Um, read your contract perhaps . . . ?
