Trey Songz has turned himself in to the authorities, reports say.

Trey Songz has been dealing with some legal issues over the past month or so. It's nothing necessarily new for him but the latest legal matters on his plate are due to allegedly beating a woman down at a club during All-Star Weekend in February. After denying any sort of wrong doing, it's reported that the singer turned himself in to the LAPD earlier this morning where he's facing felony charge for domestic violence.

According to TMZ, Trey Songz turned himself in this morning around 6 a.m. to face a domestic violence charge. However, he was later released on $50K bond. 

Interestingly enough, the singer took to Twitter around the same time to deliver a message to his followers.

"For weeks my lawyers & Mgmt have asked me not to comment on this and I initially agreed but this morning I feel that my fam, the women that raised me, my friends & fans especially the youth need to hear from me. I am being lied on and falsely accused for someone’s personal gain," he said.

According to the report, Trey Songz lawyer has told the investigating detectives on the case that Songz accuser story is filled with many inconsistencies. Songz has also stated that there's eye witnesses that have refuted the victim's claims.

Last week, she held a press conference going into detail about what allegedly happened. She claimed Trey Songz beat her so hard that she ended up in the hospital. She was also recently granted a temporary restraining order against the singer.
