Trey Songz encountered renewed legal pressure as Jauhara Jeffries pushed for financial relief tied to their previously resolved civil claim.
Trey Songz faced another courtroom dispute in Florida as Jauhara Jeffries sought access to money from their confidential sexual assault settlement because she said mounting expenses required immediate relief.
Jeffries wants a judge to release 55% of the settlement funds or any money exceeding $69,950.52 while an unresolved lien keeps the larger payout locked in a court controlled escrow account, according to TMZ.
The full value of the confidential settlement has not been disclosed.
The request adds another chapter to a legal battle that appeared to be finished when Jeffries and Songz reached an agreement in 2025.

Jeffries told the court she needs access to the money as soon as possible to cover bills and move forward with her life. A judge denied her request for immediate access but scheduled another hearing for later in September.
The financial dispute traces back to serious allegations Jeffries made against Songz, whose legal name is Tremaine Neverson.
Jeffries sued the R&B singer in 2021 over an alleged encounter at E11even Miami in January 2018. She alleged Songz sexually assaulted her without consent while they were at the nightclub. She said she had earlier attended a New Year’s Eve gathering at Sean Combs’ home before Songz invited her and other women to the club. Songz denied the allegations.
Jeffries also alleged that she later entered Songz’s vehicle and that he demanded her phone during the ride. According to her account, she refused to hand it over and was forcibly removed from the vehicle.
The case was headed toward trial before both sides reached a confidential settlement in September 2025. Judge Antonio Arzola subsequently dismissed the litigation while retaining jurisdiction to enforce the agreement. Neither side publicly disclosed the financial terms.
The escrow dispute arrives amid a separate legal fight involving Maryland Capitol Police officer Tyrelle Dunn.
Dunn sued Songz over a November 2021 confrontation at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas. Dunn alleged Songz and members of his security team attacked him after he attempted to help his wife leave the singer’s hotel room. A judge entered a default judgment of approximately $11.2 million against Songz in October 2024.
That judgment did not remain in place.
In January 2025, Clark County District Court Judge Jacob Reynolds set aside the $11.2 million judgment after Songz challenged how he had been served with the lawsuit.
The decision allows him to contest Dunn’s allegations rather than leaving the default judgment intact.
