Lil Wayne settles legal battle with producer

Lil Wayne has settled a US$20 million lawsuit with a producer who claimed the rapper failed to pay him for work on his hit 2008 album Tha Carter III.

Grammy winner Darius Harrison, who goes by the name Deezle, sued the hip-hop star last year over allegations he was owed money for his contribution to songs including Lil Wayne's popular track Lollipop.

The two sides have now reached a confidential settlement to bring the legal action to a close, according to TMZ.com.

The terms of the settlement were not released.
