Missy Elliott has reached a settlement with a music producer who claimed to have co-written several of her songs from the 1990s, ending a long-running legal dispute just as a jury trial was about to begin.

The agreement, struck Friday (Aug. 22) in a Philadelphia federal courtroom, will end a lawsuit filed by Terry Williams, who claims he and Elliott collaborated on numerous songs in the 1990s but that she refused to credit him as a co-writer.
