French Montana, Yo Asel, Kodak Black, DJ Khaled and all other parties involved in the “Lockjaw” lawsuit have come to an agreement to drop all claims and completely dismiss the case, according to court documents obtained by The Blast. Asel was initially seeking an injunction prohibiting French and the other parties from profiting off of the song in the future. Both sides of the lawsuit now have to pay their own legal fees.
