The R&B singer — real name Tremaine Neverson — is cooperating with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, authorities said in a statement. So far, no arrests have been made.
The incident allegedly occurred at a hotel on Las Vegas Boulevard, according to the police. No date was given, though authorities received the report on Sunday. Neverson had been in Las Vegas for a birthday party/performance Saturday, Nov. 27, at Drai’s Nightclub. (A rep for Neverson declined to comment.)
Neverson has faced accusations of sexual assault and misconduct in the past. Last January, an unnamed woman filed a $10 million lawsuit against Neverson, accusing him of touching her and trying to insert his fingers into her vagina without her consent or permission at a Miami nightclub in 2018. Several months later, another woman claimed on a podcast that she and Neverson had consensual sex, but afterwards he urinated on her and then threatened to drop her phone and purse off a balcony if she tried to leave.
Neverson responded on Twitter after the latter allegation was leveled, writing, “I brush it off every time but once you have an allegation no matter it’s [sic] true weight in validation, it’s now happened once and to some will be believable from that moment forward. None of that happened.”
Neverson also previously faced a domestic violence lawsuit, filed by Andrea Buera in 2018. Buera claimed Neverson called her names, choked her and repeatedly punched her in the face. Neverson denied the allegations and the suit was eventually dismissed in September 2018.
Sade will not be attending their Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony this week.
The English group, made up of Sade Adu, Paul Denman, Stuart Matthewman, and Andrew Hale, are among this year's inductees into the prestigious institution. The ceremony is scheduled to take place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles this Saturday.
However, a representative for Sade confirmed on Tuesday through the band's official website that none of the members would be attending the event.
"We're sorry that we won't be able to join everyone in person to celebrate alongside the other artists. However, our absence does not lessen how deeply this recognition means to us," they stated. "Being welcomed into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is a wonderful honour and a meaningful opportunity to express our gratitude, not just to everyone who voted for us, but to every person who has made our music part of their lives."
The representative also acknowledged their manager Roger Davies for his support and paid tribute to the late engineer and co-producer Mike Pela, who passed away in 2022.
"We owe so much to everyone who has supported us throughout this journey," they continued, before signing the message: "Sade, Stuart, Andrew, and Paul. Mike Pela, the fifth member of Sade... This recognition belongs to you just as much as it does to us, Mike. You will always be our soul mate."
Sade will be joining Oasis among the artists missing this year's ceremony. Liam Gallagher previously addressed his absence in a message on X, saying the journey was "too far" for him to make just "for the night".
The other musicians being recognised at this weekend's ceremony include Billy Idol, Phil Collins, Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order, the late Luther Vandross, and Wu-Tang Clan.
