Jacquees has admitted that he has regrets over getting into a fight with Trey Songz, but denies ever having gotten beaten up.
The Georgia-born singer spoke about the incident with Akademiks on Tuesday (October 1).
Jacquees was asked by Ak why he admitted that Trey Songz “whipped” his ass.
The “You” singer said: “First of all, my n-gga, Trey Songz is my brother. That’s my big brother. I love him to life … We got in a fight. I went online, bro, because I was hurt. That was our first fight … Hurt because I have been around Trey since I was 15, 16. I never expected us to ever fight, physically. Verbally is different.”
Akademiks then asked Jacquees to detail the fight. The “B.E.D.” rapper added: ” I won. I won … The internet shit was some bullshit.”
Finally he conceded: “It was a tie.”
Ak said it was impossible for him to win because he was “counting the dreads” that had come out of his head.
Jacquees added: “Bro pulled my dreads out, right? That’s my brother, like I said. Imma always. acknowledge him as my brother. He didn’t beat the dreads out of shit … When I got my dreads and they not twisted, if you pull my hair, they might yank out ‘cus they not tight to the roots. He pulled my hair for sure.”
Jacquees concluded: “I should have never gotten on the internet.” He regretted the fight, and took issue with how hen handled it, but remained adamant that he never got beaten up.

Back in February, the two got into a fight while in Dubai, with Jacquees having confirmed the incident in a lengthy video.
In a clip posted to Instagram, the R&B singer launched into a tirade aimed at Songz.
“I want the world to know this bitch ass n-gga Trey Songz is a bitch, period,” he said. “This n-gga came in the club talking about rape. The fuck you talking about rape for, Bitch ass n-gga? Then you come outside THE CLUB and swing on your little brother. You’s a bitch. Chris Brown the G.O.A.T.”
“About a bitch that ain’t even my bitch? You talking about bitches that’s with these n-ggas? The workers?” he continued while turning his camera to a group of people wearing suits.
“Aye man, fuck you, bitch ass n-gga. You a rapist, bitch. And I don’t give a fuck if you tell anybody anything about what we texted. Put the messages on there — fuck you, bitch ass n-gga. You can never come around me.”
Jacquees also posted and then deleted a picture of some of his dreadlocks on the floor, accusing Trey Songz of pulling them out during the fight.
Jade Thirlwall has been learning to lean into a softer approach with her voice as she steps into life as a solo performer.
The former Little Mix member shared that she’s been carving out her own sound since the British girl group decided to go on an indefinite break in 2022.
Speaking with ELLE, Jade opened up about discovering that not every track on her debut solo album, That's Showbiz Baby, needed a full vocal showcase.
“That’s what I’ve discovered with this project, especially after Little Mix, is that I don’t always need to give a big vocal moment,” she said. “It’s actually been really nice to understand that part of my voice.”
She pointed to the group’s 2016 single Power, which has at times faced online comments about being a little too intense vocally.
“I’ll scroll through TikTok and see people talk about Power like, ‘These girlies are out here like, AHHH,’” she told the outlet. “Everyone trying to top each other with the loudest note for three minutes straight.”
Although Jade still loves that kind of performance, she said she’s learned the value of holding back.
“I still adore that energy, but it’s been kind of freeing to realise, babe, it doesn’t always need to end with this massive ad-lib run,” she shared.
She also mentioned that her song Angel of My Dreams was first recorded with a much bigger vocal take before she decided to go back and do it in a more relaxed, softer tone.
Jade officially dropped That's Showbiz Baby on 12 September. The record includes 14 tracks, among them IT Girl, Plastic Box, and the lead single Angel of My Dreams.
