(Radio.com) Kanye West has been involved in litigation for the last two years over a sample he used in his 2013 song "Bound 2," but now it looks like those days are over.

He's settled with Ricky Spicer, former singer of The Ponderosa Twins Plus One, after Spicer sued him, Roc-A-Fella Records, Universal Music Group and Island Def Jam Music Group on Dec. 23, 2013, Billboard reports.

He claimed that West didn't have permission to use his song "Bound," and that he received no royalties for it. West fought the allegation is court, but now he's settled with Spicer for an undisclosed sum. Hint: it was probably a ton of cash.

Spicer plauyed a major role in the song: it's his voice, processed through a vocal filter, that sings the chorus' iconic refrain "Bound to fall in love." Read more here.
