Trey Songz lost his cool in a major way at the end of his performance in Detroit Wednesday night, December 28, at the annual "Big Show at the Joe" concert.
The 32-year old singer, born Tremaine Neverson, became “upset and belligerent” after he was told to leave the stage before he finished his set,.according to Detroit Police Department spokesman, Officer Dan Donakowski.
"He was told his set was over, that he would have to get off the stage," Donakowski told the Detroit Free Press. "At which time, he became irate and started throwing objects (from) the stage; speakers, microphones, anything he could get his hands on."
A cop from the Gang Intelligence Unit, who was assigned to the event, was injured by a flying object as he tried to calm Songz down. The officer was taken to a local hospital where he was treated and released.
"They say they gon' cut my mic off 'cause I'm taking too much time. If they cut me off remember it and text whoever you want to, and tweet whoever you want to, and tell everybody. 'Cause if a nigga cut me off I'm going the fuck crazy," the "Say Aah" hit maker told the crowd inside the Joe Louis Arena prior to his meltdown.
Songz was arrested and charged with malicious destruction of property and for resisting and obstructing arrest.
He's currently being held at at the Detroit Detention Center awaiting arraignment.
(Post and Courier) With his life on the line, Dylann Roof has no plans to call witnesses or introduce evidence in his defense during the penalty phase of his hate crimes trial, where he faces a possible death sentence for killing nine black worshipers at Charleston's Emanuel AME Church.
The 22-year-old white supremacist made the pronouncement Wednesday morning after reaffirming his decision to represent himself during the proceedings, which begin Jan. 3. He said he intends to make opening and closing statements but has no plans beyond that to present a defense.
"As far as I know, I am not intending to offer any evidence at all or call any witnesses whatsoever," he told the judge in a flat voice.
Roof told U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel that he wanted to make his plans clear for the prosecution's sake. "Don't do them any favors," the judge replied. "They aren't going to do you any."
Gergel also told Roof he will give him until the start of the penalty proceedings to change his mind about serving as his own counsel.
"You know my feeling on this," Gergel said. "I think it's a bad idea."
Still, Gergel said, it is Roof's decision to make. He requested that Roof at least speak with his former attorneys and his grandfather, a respected Columbia lawyer, before reaching a final decision. Roof grinned and agreed to do so.
Roof's comments came during a pre-trial hearing in the case in advance of sentencing proceedings. Roof appeared at the hearing wearing a striped gray jail jumpsuit, handcuffed and shackled at the ankles with chains that clanked audibly as he walked to the podium to address the court.
He took his normal place at the defense table, ceding the lead chair to his former lead attorney, noted capital defense lawyer David Bruck. That led Gergel to question whether Roof had experienced a change of heart since his Dec. 15 conviction about wanting to represent himself. Roof smiled and shook his head.
Roof also reaffirmed his decision not to present evidence related to his mental health. His former lawyers almost certainly would have tried to use such evidence to persuade the jury to spare his life.
Roof's fate will fall to the same 12 jurors — three black, nine white — who found him guilty of 33 federal counts in the June 2015 church massacre. He was convicted of hate crimes, obstructing religion and firearms violations in connection with the mass shooting. In all, he fired some 77 rounds inside the historic church's fellowship hall, methodically killing a group of parishioners who had welcomed him to their weekly Bible study.
When the jury returns next week to begin the penalty phase, they will hear from prosecutors and Roof before mulling whether he should be put to death for his crimes or sentenced to a life prison term.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jay Richardson said prosecutors have a list of about 38 potential witnesses to discuss the impact on victims in the case. They also plan to call the lead FBI case agent to go over some of the facts heard during the guilt phase. The agent, Joseph Hamski, proved key in tying together the various elements of the government's case, walking the jurors through a timeline of Roof's scouting and preparation for the church massacre.
Depending on how Roof proceeds with his defense, Hamski and the victim-impact witnesses could represent the entirety of the government's case, Richardson said.
Roof seemed most concerned Wednesday about keeping some evidence out of the court record, particularly materials related to a competency hearing in which his mental health was at issue. He said he wants records from that hearing to remain sealed, along with information about an unspecified incident involving his mother.
Gergel said he must balance Roof's concerns against the public's right to know full details about the case. He said he has reached no decision on the matter but is concerned about the potential impact of unsealing that information before Roof stands trial for murder in state court. The state trial is scheduled to get underway on Jan. 17.
Roof also objected to the prosecution introducing a photograph of a piece of evidence that was the subject of an earlier suppression hearing in the case. He, the judge and Richardson stayed clear of stating exactly what that piece of evidence was, leaving it a mystery for now as the case moves toward its conclusion.

AreJennifer Lopez, 47, andDrake, 30, the newest power couple?
The two superstars seemed to confirm rumors that they are dating by posting the same intimate photo of themselves cuddled up on their Instagram accounts Tuesday night, December 27.
Neither captioned the pic, choosing to let it speak for itself.
A source told E! News that the two are dating, but not "exclusively."
"They are seeing each other. [Drake] is really into her. They have great chemistry," the source added.
T.I.'smarriage toTameka "Tiny" Harrisis coming to an end after six years.
TMZ reports that Tiny, 41, filed for divorce earlier this month in Georgia's Henry County. The soon-to-be ex-couple have a total of seven kids ... three together and four from previous relationships.
Tip, born Clifford Harris Jr., and his estranged wife have had marital problems in the past, but always worked things out.
The final straw for the 36-year old Atlanta rapper and formerXscapesinger allegedly centers around Tiny taking a photograph and dancing withFloyd Mayweather Jr. at a Halloween party thrown byMariah Careyearlier this year, according to TMZ.
Mayweather and T.I. famously brawled at a Fatburger joint in Las Vegas on May 24, 2014. Tip confronted Floyd because he wasn't happy about photos that surfaced of his wife and the retired boxing legend. And another one in which Tiny referred to Money May's daughter as her "new boo."
Maybe T.I. and Tiny mightl patch things up again, but at this point it appears they will be heading their separate ways.

With his head bandaged and left arm in a sling, Troy Ave, walked out of a hospital under his own power Monday night, December 26, a day after being ambushed by a gunman in Brooklyn, New York.
TheBSB Recordsboss suffered a gunshot wound to the back and was grazed in the head, when a man with a hoodie pulled down over his face approached his red Maserati while it was at an intersection and opened fire at around 5:00 in the afternoon on Christmas Day.
ABC 7 New York reports that after being wounded Troy put his car in reverse and while traveling at a high rate of speed, jumped a median, before being hit by another car.
He was taken to a local hospital for treatment. Doctors made the decision not to take the bullets out at this time, leaving the rapper with one still lodged in his back and a fragment in his head.
Troy will have surgery at a later date to have them removed.
“He is very sore,” his lawyer,John Stellatold theNew York Daily News. “The doctors told the family that he came dangerously close to having a spinal cord injury — but it looks like there’s no lasting damage from the wound track.”
Troy's girlfriend was in the car with him at the time, but escaped injury.
“DIVINE ORDER. My God is real. We were covered,” she wrote Monday on Facebook.
Police have no suspects at this time.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Actress Carrie Fisher, who found enduring fame as Princess Leia in the original "Star Wars," has died. She was 60.
Fisher's daughter, Billie Lourd, released a statement through her spokesman saying Fisher died Tuesday morning in Los Angeles.
"It is with a very deep sadness that Billie Lourd confirms that her beloved mother Carrie Fisher passed away at 8:55 this morning," read the statement from publicist Simon Halls. "She was loved by the world and she will be missed profoundly."
Fisher had been hospitalized since Friday when she suffered a medical emergency on board a flight to Los Angeles.
She made her feature film debut opposite Warren Beatty in the 1975 hit "Shampoo." Fisher also appeared in "Austin Powers," ''The Blues Brothers," ''Charlie's Angels," ''Hannah and Her Sisters," ''Scream 3" and "When Harry Met Sally ..."
But she is best remembered as Princess Leia in the original "Star Wars" in 1977 with her now-iconic braided buns, who uttered the immortal phrase, "Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope." Fisher played a part in which she was tough, feisty and powerful, even if at one point she was chained to Jabba the Hutt. (She reprised the role in Episode VII of the series, "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" in 2015, and her digitally rendered image appears in "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.")
Fisher long battled drug addiction and mental illness. She said she smoked pot at age 13, used LSD by 21 and was first diagnosed as bipolar at age 24. She was treated with electroconvulsive therapy and medication.
In 1987, her thinly veiled autobiography "Postcards From the Edge" became a best seller. It became a 1990 film starring Shirley MacLaine and Meryl Streep.
More books followed: "Delusions of Grandma," ''Surrender the Pink," ''The Best Awful," ''Shockaholic" and this year's autobiography, "The Princess Diarist," in which she revealed that she and co-star Harrison Ford had an affair on the set of "Star Wars."
Ever ready to satirize herself, she has even played Carrie Fisher a few times, as in David Cronenberg's dark Hollywood sendup "Maps to the Stars" and in an episode of "Sex and the City." In the past 15 years, Fisher also had a somewhat prolific career as a television guest star, recently in the Amazon show "Catastrophe" as the mother of Rob Delaney's lead, and perhaps most memorably as a has-been comedy legend on "30 Rock."
Her one-woman show, "Wishful Drinking," which she's performed on and off across the country since 2006, was turned into a book, made its way to Broadway in 2009 and was captured for HBO in 2010.
Little was off-limits in the show. She discussed the scandal that engulfed her superstar parents, Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher (he ran off with Elizabeth Taylor); her brief marriage to singer Paul Simon; the time the father of her daughter left her for a man; and the day she woke up next to the dead body of a platonic friend who had overdosed in her bed.
"I'm a product of Hollywood inbreeding. When two celebrities mate, something like me is the result," she said in the show. At another point, she cracked: "I don't have a problem with drugs so much as I have a problem with sobriety."
"She was funnier&smarter than anyone had the right to be," Whoopi Goldberg wrote on Twitter Tuesday. "Sail On Silver Girl. Condolences Debbie & Billie."
Carrie Fisher has passed, she was funnier&smarter than anyone had the right to be. Sail On Silver Girl. Condolences Debbie & Billie R.I.P.
Besides her daughter, Fisher is survived by her brother, Todd Fisher, and her mother.
In a 2009 interview with The Associated Press, Fisher wasn't coy about revealing details about her unusual life, whether it was about drug addiction, mental illness or her failed relationships. She hoped to destigmatize mental health problems.
"People relate to aspects of my stories and that's nice for me because then I'm not all alone with it," she said. "Also, I do believe you're only as sick as your secrets. If that's true, I'm just really healthy."
