That Grape Juice sat down with R&B star Trey Songz earlier this week at the Atlantic Records HQ here in London.

A somewhat restrained (and at times irritable) Songz, appeared reluctant to answer questions about his much-publicised feud with R. Kelly, as well as questions about his gay fanbase. Still, the Grammy nominee spoke more freely about his forthcoming album, his response to claims that his success is due to solely to his ‘sex appeal’, kissing Keri Hilson and Toni Braxton, and much more. An ‘interesting’ watch to say the least.

As ever, we ask the questions you really want answers to. How Trey takes to this, you’ll have to hit ‘play’ to find out!

Typically, we asked the questions you really wanted answers to, whether Mr Songz was pleased with that you’ll have to wait and see. Keep it locked!
