A Settlement is Near

Filed under: Legal Matters > R.I.P.

Money always brings the crazy out of people!

The King of Soul will finally be able to rest in peace.

According to a new report, several attorneys involved in the legal battle over James Brown’s estate says they’re nearing a settlement in the dispute over who gets what of the late singer's fortune.

An attorney for some of the Godfather of Soul's adult children says the settlement will end much of the infighting that’s powered some dramalicious courtroom hearings.

However, the source could not provide specifics on the settlement talks, citing a confidentiality agreement.

There's also a new twist to the saga.

A man who claims to be Brown’s half brother says he’ll undergo a DNA test this week to prove his link to James.

If it's money he's after he needs lots of luck. James' kids don't seem to be the sharing type!

    Re: abercorey – Fuck charity. He should've left it as one big donation to the Parliament House resort, here in Orlando. That place needs a big face lift!

    Did they ever actually lay the man to rest? I don't remember hearing anything in regards to a memorial for him or anything. My memory is fuzzy, but it seems like it was drama from day one.
