Looks like Andre got his wish, because the legal battle was dismissed on January 6th. Both parties filed court documents informing the court they have reached a settlement in the case where both agree to dismiss the entire lawsuit and each pay their own legal bills. Interesting, the case was settled a mere 3 days before Andre signed on to be represented by Roc Nation Sports.

See the court docs.
