Ashanti settles

The long and bitter dispute between Ashanti and former producer Genard Parker has been settled, just a few hours into the court proceedings to try and sort out the mess.

Nobody's allowed to talk about the deal, but both sides reckon they've got a great result. There had been an earlier case where Ashanti was ordered to pay a third of a million quid to Parker; that had been thrown out by another judge, so we reckon the cash settlement is somewhere between that figure and the £26,000 that Ashanti had said was all Parker's due.
