The folks at Cash Money Records just saw their pockets get a little lighter after they came to an agreement with longtime producer Darius "Deezle" Harrison. Last year, the New Orleans producer filed a court action for $20 million against Young Money Entertainment and Cash Money Records claiming he wasn't compensated for his co-production work on�Lil Wayne's #1 2008�hit single "Lollipop."�TMZ�reports�that Weezy has finally settled the case out of court.
Deezle produced "Mrs. Officer" in full and co-produced a few tracks off Tunechi's�Tha Carter III,�including the Grammy-winning "Lollipop." It was Jim Jonsin who served as the chief beatmaker on the song, and he too filed a suit in April 2010�claiming�that he wasn't paid proper royalties from the track. Jonsin has since settled his case with the label, and now, according to reports, so has Deezle, thanks to a confidential agreement.
Hitmaker Bangladesh also had issues with the powerhouse label. In 2008 he claimed he wasn't properly compensated after producing "A Milli," another stand-out single from Wayne's triple-platinum�Tha Carter III.�Bang went on to supply the beat for "6 Foot 7 Foot" for Wayne's�Tha Carter IVand claimed to MTV News that there was initially a payment issue with that track as well. In March, however,�Bangladesh was happy to report�that he and Cash Money put all of their differences behind them.
"We just did some nice business together. They just bought a whole bunch of tracks, that's about it," Bang said. "They gave me a song deal, basically, first song deal I ever had, so shouts out to Cash Money."
