Kanye West and EMI have settled their lawsuit over the publishing contract the artist signed with the company in 2003 with court documents stating that both parties had "reached an agreement in principle resolving all issues".
The "Gold Digger" hitmaker sued EMI in January 2019 alleging that the company, which has looked after his catalogue of songs since 2003, was attempting to lock him into a lifetime career of "servitude". He claimed that when his original deal is combined with add-ons it becomes void under California statute, which limits personal services contracts to no more than seven years.
EMI responded with its own federal lawsuit filed in New York City in March 2019 claiming that Kanye's reason for leaving his deal was not valid because he willingly signed multiple contract extensions with the company.
In September, it seemed as though both parties had reached a mutual agreement to move forward but then, in December, EMI decided to re-open the case leading to a judge to give Kanye and the company until January 13, 2020 to negotiate a new agreement.
On that date, Kanye, 42, and EMI both notified the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York that they had "reached an agreement in principle resolving all issues" to settle the suit.
The lawsuit will officially close on February 14 if neither party objects to the terms.
Earlier this month West announced that he wants to take his Sunday Service all over the world, starting in Europe and Africa.
The "Bound 2" rapper reportedly has big plans to spread the word across the world, starting in Europe and Africa after success in North America.
And now Kanye has no plans to tour traditionally anymore and instead wants to work on a new follow up album with the choir as well as travel the world with them.
TMZ reports that Kanye's weekly Sunday Services will be reduced and have longer time periods between as he travels around the world to spread the news.
