Chris Brown settles lawsuit

Chris Brown has settled a civil lawsuit for $100,000.The 'Run It' hitmaker has agreed a payment to Parker Adams - who he recently pleaded guilty to assaulting last October - after he filed a case against him, TMZ reports.

And that isn't the only legal matter the 25-year-old star has settled.

In January, Chris got into a fight at a West Hollywood recording studio with Frank Ocean's entourage and was subsequently sued for $3 million by his rival's cousin.

However, sources told TMZ the case has now been resolved after the 'Beautiful People' hitmaker agreed to pay out just under $20,000.

Thought he pleaded guilty to assaulting Parker in court in Washington last month, Chris managed to avoid jail as the terms of his plea deal made meant he was sentenced to time already served.

The singer was released from jail on June 2 after spending 108 days behind bars for violating his probation after he allegedly made threats about using guns while seeking anger-management treatment in rehab.

He was previously placed on probation for five years and sentenced to six months community service for assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009.
