Nicki Minaj to pay Tracy Chapman $450,000 to settle copyright row

Rapper Nicki Minaj will pay singer Tracy Chapman $450,000 in order to settle a copyright dispute. Chapman had sued Minaj in 2018 for allegedly using portions of her hit 1988 track "Baby, can I hold you tonight" in the rapper's song "Sorry". The song was not officially released, but a leaked version made its way to radio DJ Funkmaster Flex and later became viral online. Chapman accused Minaj of sharing the song with Flex, although both have denied it, reports bbc.com. Minaj wrote "Sorry" with fellow rapper Nas while recording her fourth album "Queen" in 2018.

Minaj and her record label asked for permission to use Chapman's composition, but the singer repeatedly refused. The singer's lawyer said she has a blanket policy against granting such permission. Minaj was also s...
