It’s been 15 years since James Brown’s death. After a long battle, his family may have settled his multimillion-dollar estate.
David Black, an attorney representing Brown’s estate, confirmed to The Associated Press on Friday that the agreement was reached July 9.
Details of the settlement were not disclosed. Legal wrangling over the Godfather of Soul’s estate has been ongoing since his death at the age of 73 on Christmas Day 2006.
More than a dozen lawsuits have been filed over the years by people trying to lay claim to what’s left, which courts have estimated to be worth anything from $5 million to more than $100 million.
Meg Kinnard, political reporter for The Associated Press spoke with Roland Martin on Monday about the longstanding legal battle on #RolandMartinUnfiltered.
