Trey Songz is garnering mixed reactions after sharing some music video footage from his archives. The singer claims that he scrapped a music video featuring Tyga due to the lack of Black women in it.
But, just a few hours after sharing a snippet of the video on Instagram, the ‘Bottoms Up’ artist deleted it from his page.
Here’s What Trey Songz Said About His “Scrapped” Video
It’s unclear what prompted Trey to dig into his archives for a first look at his “scrapped” music video. However, as mentioned, he shared the footage on his Instagram on Tuesday (June 25).
The now-deleted preview featured Trey and Tyga in various scenes, from driving a car to dancing in an empty pool and standing by as 10-plus non-Black women twerked and posed for the cameras.
“Archives. I scrapped this video cause it wasn’t enough Black women in it. In Spain last time somebody called me ‘ni**er’ didn’t feel right [shrug shoulders emoticon]. Song cold tho Traw my dawg @tyga,” Trey Songz wrote.
Two things to note here. First, it’s unclear when this video was filmed, and second, it’s unclear where it was filmed. Additionally, it’s unclear why his alleged experience with racism in Spain was included in his archive storytelling.

Was The Singer Trolling His Followers?
As mentioned, the reactions to the now-deleted post were all over the place. After the post was removed, Trey Songz shared another video. It appears to be a boomerang of him taking a mirror selfie with his abs on full display.
In the caption, he wrote, “Bae…How does trolling work? [upside down smile emoticon].”
Tyga hasn’t said anything about Trey’s throwback post. Meanwhile, over on The Shade Room’s Instagram, the roommates didn’t hold back on their thoughts about Trey’s claims about the scrapped video.

@keairalashae agreed, saying, “It’s him thinking we are silly enough to fall for this nonsense.. sir, you saw that when you filmed the video. But ok…”
@naz716 added, “Nah nah he was tryna get ahead of that Internet slander.”
“Long story short, you need Black women to listen to your music again. Nahhhh sir, we’re good,” @theashbsmith added.
@classymandii went IN, writing, “Y’all be in AMERICA avoiding black women but gone record a video in a country where there really ain’t none AND TRY TO MAKE A SPECTACLE ABOUT IT!!! Leave us out of it and leave us tf alone !!!!!”
@thetammimacshow wrote, “I don’t think you scrapped it though, cause why we see it?”
@alli_marie_- shared similar sentiments, writing, “But you’re sharing it now…sir make it make sense.”
According to Trey’s Instagram Story, he recently performed at Madison Square Garden, hitting the stage with Fabolous.
Music aside, though, one of his latest viral months happened over two months ago in April, when news surfaced that he had settled one sexual assault lawsuit against him. The settlement came ahead of a September court hearing.
The anonymous woman sought $25 million for an alleged incident of sexual assault that involved anal penetration resulting in physical and emotional injury. It’s unclear how much they settled for in the end.
