Ashanti court case is finally over. The R and B song tress has settle out of court with the producer who had helped Ashanti record some demo tapes of several songs at his apartment when she was 16, said outside court that he was “happy it’s over.”
The judge’s decision led to the new trial, where Parker had been seeking $2.3 million.
On Monday, Kaminsky told the jury that Ashanti should not have to pay Parker anything because he had no role in her career after he released her from his contract so she could sign with another company.
Although the release called for Parker to receive money from the company for her first three albums, the company eventually rejected Ashanti and no records were made.
If any money changed hands, their lawyers refused to talk about it, saying only that everyone was pleased that the bitter battle was over.
Outside court, Alan Kaminsky, a lawyer for Ashanti, called the decision by both sides to drop all litigation “an excellent result.”
“I’m very pleased the plaintiff has voluntarily dismissed the case against us,”Ashanti said outside court, where she had been scheduled to continue her testimony.
