American singer, Trey Songz has reportedly been hit with a new $25 million lawsuit stemming from a previous sexual assault accusation.    The suit also names the R&B singer's label Atlantic Records, manager Kevin Liles, and 300 Entertainment as defendants, claiming the parties should be held responsible for the singer's actions.    The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles on Thursday, is linked to a sexual battery lawsuit filed by a Jane Doe last February against the 38-year-old (real name Tremaine Neverson) over claims he sodomized the woman during a party in March 2016.    In a statement given to  Rolling Stone , Doe's attorney George Vrabeck calls out Atlantic Records, which signed Neverson in the early 2000s, as well as Neverson's manager Liles and 300, the label he co-founded, for effectively turning a blind eye to the growing number of accusations against the singer throughout the years.   This case is much more than about one sin...
