Well, what a relief, Snoop Dogg has settled that previously reported lawsuit that was ongoing between him and his former record label, EMI US's Priority Records.
As previously reported, Snoop sued the EMI division in 2006 claiming he was owed over a million in royalties plus a £475,000 advance from his 2000 album 'Tha Last Meal' and some kind of compensation for a greatest hits collection the label released without the rapper's consent. Since the filing of the lawsuit, talks were ongoing between the rapper's people and the major label, but an out of court settlement was a long time coming, so much so a US judge recently said that if agreement could not be reached by the end of March the case would have to come to court, which, seemingly, neither side really wanted.
Snoop's people confirmed this week a settlement had been finally reached. Specifics of the settlement are confidential, though when asked if he was happy with that settlement a legal rep for Priority, David Steinber, told reporters: "I don't believe a settlement would have been reached unless both sides were happy".
