Hey, there's a headline I never thought I'd write. But yes, Jay-Z, who sued David Ortiz for $5 million back in April, claiming the Red Sox slugger stole the name of his 40/40 Club, has decided to settle, according to his lawyer.
↵↵↵"The case has been settled in principle," said attorney Peter Raymond. "We have agreed on the outlines of a settlement and need to reduce it to writing."

↵The dispute began when Ortiz, after (allegedly) visiting Jay's 40/40 Club in New York City (one of eight locations), (allegedly) opened his own club in the Dominican Republic and named it ... "Forty-Forty." You can see the confusion.
↵Big Papi and Hova were scheduled to meet in Manhattan Federal Court on Tuesday, but the legal proceeding was called off at the last minute. The judge, who had urged a settlement, said it "sounds like a sensible outcome."
↵Jay-Z -- he is indeed a business, man.
