3:16 PM PT -- Ted Anastasiou, a legal rep for Trey Songz, says his client is actually the victim, telling TMZ Hip Hop ... "The media is unfairly turning an unfinished story into clickbait to sell a new headline. That’s lazy and unfair.

"What happened at The Ivy was the result of increasingly aggressive paparazzi invading an artist’s personal space, conduct that puts everyone at risk and a trend that’s impacting not just Trey but artists everywhere. Trey disputes the characterization of events, is cooperating fully with authorities, and looks forward to the facts, not speculation, speaking for themselves."

Trey Songz is being accused of pummeling a cameraman who just got out of the hospital with serious injuries, and police are now investigating.

Isaa Mansoor tells TMZ Hip Hip he went to the Ivy in Huntington, NY, early Sunday morning to shoot video for the owner. Mansoor says he witnessed Trey arrive with an entourage.

Isaa says the owner told him to shoot the event as Trey performed and circulated. Isaa says Trey was aware the owner had asked photogs to get video.

Hailey Bieber may have just taken a subtle jab at Scooter Braun after his gushing post about Justin Bieber’s new album.

As you know, Scooter discovered a tween Justin on YouTube back in the day ... and helped him skyrocket into the biggest pop singer in the world.
