The American singer Trey Songz fell victim to an attempted robbery after performing at Brixton Academy for a BBC 1xtra concert in Brixton.
While he was signing autographs for fans at the back of the popular venue on Monday, a would-be robber tried to grab chains from his around his neck before making off with others in a car.
Police said that there may have been a gun involved in the incident, which took place at 12.30am
The ‘Heart Attack’ singer took to Twitter at 5am to say: “Shout to the Brixton jack boys who tried to get me… better luck next time n****s.” The message was retweeted thousands of times, with Brixton trending globally for a while yesterday.
A spokesperson for Lambeth police confirmed the incident. She said: “It is reported that at the rear of Brixton Academy an attempt was made to grab chains from the neck of a man as he emerged from the premises.
“Security personnel intervened and it is said the suspect produced what was believed to be a firearm. The suspect, and a number of others, made off in a vehicle.”
No shots were fired during the attack, and CID officers say their investigations are continuing.
What’s up to all, how is the whole thing, I think every one is getting
more from this web site, and your views are nice in support
of new people.
I have read several comments on what happened on Monday, some people that Trey invited a female fan on stage which is 100% inaccurate I saw his performance last night on youtube, but he did jump into the audience though. I’m just glad that he & the team are fine. I know that it will be full complete extra security for his shows for now on during this US/ UK tour and more in the future.
Never mind Trey Songz being a victim to an attempted robbery, in the photo above he has forgotten to put his shirt on. The idiot.
