By Ashley King, Digital Music News | Missy Elliott settles a long-running lawsuit over copyright allegations just moments before a jury trial was due to begin. Rapper Elliott reached a settlement in a five-year legal battle with a music producer who claimed to have co-written several of the star’s songs from the 1990s. The agreement ends a long-running legal dispute just before a jury trial was set to start.
Terms of the deal, struck Friday (August 22) in a Philadelphia federal courtroom, were not disclosed to the public. But Mike Trauben, attorney for Missy Elliott, shared details with Billboard. “No money was paid in connection with any of Terry Williams’ claims, the last remnants of which were dismissed.”
