Smokey Robinson & Ex-Wife End Feud, Settle Lawsuit Over Music Royalties (EXCLUSIVE)

Claudette later fired back at this lawsuit, claiming Smokey could reclaim his copyrights per the 1976 Copyright act, but she was still entitled to her 50% cut from all of his music created between 1958-1985.

Claudette admits she had no part of writing any of the songs, but per their divorce settlement she was awarded the rights. However, she said that per their deal there is NO termination clause and Smokey can’t cut her out 30 years later.

The legal battle has been going on for months and the trial was scheduled for February 9th 2015 in federal court.

Then on October 6th, docs were filed by Smokey and his ex-wife that explain they both attended mediation on September 10th. They both explain since mediation they have had productive conversations in regards to a settlement in the legal battle over Smokey’s music royalties. They both are requesting the trial date and future hearings be taken off the calender due to them believing a final settlement will finalized shortly.
