Tracy Chapman has won her lawsuit against Nicki Minaj, who must pay her $450,000 (£332,000), it's claimed. Chapman accepted Minaj's offer of judgment on Thursday, according to documents seen by the Hollywood Reporter, which means the case will not go to trial next year.

As well as the settlement, Chapman also avoids being responsible for costs had a jury eventually decided her claims weren't worth that amount.

Back in 2018, Chapman sued Minaj for copyright infringement, as the rapper "borrowed" large parts of Tracy’s 1988 hit, Baby Can I Hold You, for her own song, Sorry.
