R&B singer Jason Derulo involved in Vegas resort scuffle with cops
A video posted online saw Derulo strike at least one person near an escalator
Pop and R&B entertainer Jason Derulo was involved in a scuffle with two people early Tuesday at a Las Vegas Strip resort, but the singer, dancer and TikTok star was not arrested or given a summons, police said.
Las Vegas police said in a statement that an altercation was reported after 2am at a night club at the Aria resort and that Derulo “committed a battery against two individuals.” No injuries were reported by police.
Emails to Derulo’s agent and manager seeking comment were not immediately returned Tuesday.
Media reports including video posted on celebrity website TMZ said Derulo, 32, struck at least one person near an escalator after someone cursed him and called him by the name of another musician, Usher.
“The victims did not want to press charges against Derulo,” police said, and Derulo was told by hotel security to leave the property under a trespass order.
