The Wayne County prosecutor’s office says 32-year-old Songz, whose real name is Tremaine Neverson, was arraigned Thursday.
Songz, of Virginia, was arrested after the incident Wednesday night.
Police spokesman Officer Dan Donakowski says Songz became “upset and belligerent” after he was told to end his concert and leave the stage at 11:30 p.m.
Prosecutors say someone was struck in the head by an object and an officer was punched.
Songz’ next court date is Jan. 5. He was released Thursday after posting bond.
The Detroit News reports Chris Brown and Lil Yachty also performed at the concert.
