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.
Tom Morello has called off two scheduled performances as he focuses on supporting his mother following her recent hospital stay.
In a message shared on Instagram on Thursday, the Rage Against the Machine guitarist revealed that he was flying back to the United States to be with his 102 year old mother, Mary Morello, and help care for her.
"Dear friends, fans and comrades, my dear mom, Mary Morello is back in the hospital and I'm headed home to help look after her," he wrote. "Rocking the UK & Europe with you all this summer has been incredible, and I can't wait to be back with you and continue this movement that we started. With much love, unity and power."
The guitarist had been scheduled to perform at the Tons Of Rock Festival in Oslo, Norway, along with the BBK Music Legends Festival in Bilbao, Spain this weekend.
Earlier this month, Morello also cancelled planned appearances in London and Paris, with ticket holders offered refunds through their original point of purchase. However, he still made it to the Pinkpop festival in the Netherlands.
"I am sorry I had to miss a few shows due to my mom's health," the 62 year old noted. "The incredibly resilient, indefatigable Mary Morello at 102 is now feeling somewhat better and has ordered me back into the fray, charging me with rocking you and fighting fascism six strings at a time."
At this point, Morello has not announced when he expects to return to the stage.
Mary Morello, the musician's mother, built a career as a teacher and activist. She also helped establish the anti censorship organization Parents for Rock and Rap during the late 1980s.
