Trey Songz hosted a 500-person nightclub bash just two months after vowing to take his coronavirus diagnosis seriously.
The singer, 36, threw the wild bash dubbed “Champagne Saturdays” indoors, during which guests allegedly shared drinks, did not wear masks and failed to practice any social distancing, according to authorities.
Trey – who tested positive for coronavirus back in October – was seen making a club appearance at the bash in Ohio, USA.
The nightclub was instantly reported to the Ohio Investigative Unit (OIU) when their agents attended the venue.
However the case has now been escalated to the Ohio Attorney General’s Office, who works with the Ohio Liquor Control Commission.
The club’s owner could be fined, suspended, or have their alcohol permit revoked by authorities.
The club has been temporarily shut by the city of Columbus amid pending legal action.
What’s more, the nightclub’s social media account promoted the bash on Instagram in two different posts just days before the event.
The establishment encouraged guests to come, writing: “Trey Songz Will be at the ALL NEW Aftermath!!! Doors open at 6pm.”
The nightclub – dubbed Aftermath – was cited for improper conduct – disorderly activities, after OIU agents arrived to the scene around 9.30pm on Saturday.
In a press released by the OIU, agents claim to have observed “egregious violations of health orders as approximately 500 people inside attended a concert”.
Authorities alleged there was no social distancing in place, no one wearing masks, and no safety regulations put in place by the nightclub.
The press release stated: “Agents observed patrons standing, walking freely and sharing alcoholic beverages directly from the same bottle as they were passed between groups.”
OIU Enforcement Commander Eric Wolf told People : “Establishments like Aftermath are promoting an unhealthy environment and take away from all the businesses who are trying to do the right thing.
“As agents continue to conduct compliance checks, they take enforcement action when egregious violations like these are observed.”
Mirror Online has contacted Trey Songz’s reps for comment.
Trey – whose real name is Tremaine Aldon Neverson – took to Instagram in October to reveal that his coronavirus test results came back as positive.
The singer said he would be taking his diagnosis “seriously”, especially after losing his grandfather to the deadly bug earlier this year.
