Prodigy of Mobb Deep is going to get paid after years of legal disputes about royalties only if he sends out a very specific tweet. That seems too easy.

Check out the details below.

Prodigy, one half of Mobb Deep and Universal Music have squashed their legal beef but there’s a hook. If Prodigy wants to get paid he have to send out a tweet announcing that the Legal issues between him and the record label has been settled-squashed-ended.

According to docs, the rapper and Universal’s publishing arm reached a settlement — Prodigy had sued for back royalties, accusing the label of skimming money from his various sol projects.

Under the settlement, Universal Music Publishing Group will fork over $153,751.21 to Prodigy’s lawyers … with one string attached. Prodigy must publicly declare the feud is over, with this specific tweet:

“My dispute with UMPG was all a misunderstanding. Thankful that we resolved it quickly and happy to be continuing my long-standing relationship with UMPG.”

That’s over 140 characters, so it’ll be a two-parter — but when you see it, know that Prodigy got paid.
