Future is gonna be forking over dough to his ex-pal and producer, Rocko, to settle their nearly 18-month long legal battle ... TMZ has learned.

Court docs, obtained by TMZ and filed by both sides, request a dismissal of the case. Rocko's lawyers tell TMZ ... he's happy with the "very successful result." The legal team wouldn't give up an exact number. Rocko was originally seeking $10 million.

Our sources say the payout is 7 figures. Future's camp had no comment.

Rocko had sued Future claiming the rapper cut a side deal with Epic Records that stiffed Rocko out of millions. Future later countersued saying his deal with Rocko never made him exclusive, and also claimed it was Rocko who owed him dough.

:picard: Small thing to a giant tho, he gon get it back next tour :yeshrug:

I bet that contract was iron clad. Rocko been in the game for a minute, so I’m not surprised. You’ve seen situations before where nikkas got on and the nikka who had them under contract got cut out cause the paperwork wasn’t all the way right. This nikka Rockos shyt was obviously on point

Future won in my book. Rocko a sucka for not letting that nikka buy his way out in da first place. Same shyt Gotti went thru.

Completely different. Rocko was the one who financed Future and is the reason we know who he is. Contracts are contracts. Can't cut Rocko out just cause you blow up.

Yep and it looks like Future tried to do just that. Rocko caught it and he tried to fall back on shaming tactics under the being "a real nicca" banner but he knows that doesn't work in business. Funny thing is, when Drake tried to kick him off of their first tour, he went the legal route himself.

He lashed out on Twitter because he knew he was wrong. If he didn't like the terms, you sit down with your man and work it out. He would've probably came out much cheaper than this. I'm just speculating though...

Man shut that shyt up. Future could pay that man whatever he fronted for them first few lil projects back plus more. fukk outta here. Decent labels let artists buy they way out all the time. This fukk nikka on some janky shyt trying to hold that man. And he aint even doin shyt for em. Then call the nikka yo lil brotha.

Rocko a lame and gotta hold this L. Didnt even get what he wanted

One of my favorite verses from him "I bought myself out my contract. Who the fukk did that? Who ain't getting money ho? That was 400 stacks. 40 day stretch I went and got that 400 back, 252 in the pot and I bought like 400 back”
:lawd:

I can’t remeember the name of the song right now but I know it was a Jordan Tower films video :noah: Anybody remember the name?

First off... Relax dude

You're in here cursing dudes out for agreeing with Rocko like you're invested in this situation. Like I said, I'm just speculating... No one in this thread knows the actual in and outs of this situation. Now, where did you see that Rocko refused to let Future buy himself out of the contract?

Damn paying Rocko 10 to 20 mil and then his Babymama. Yeah future is broke after this one. shyt that’s messed up.. but he will drop 10 albums in 2018 to recover

Rocko was asking for 10 M’s and the settled; so Rocko got less than 10. I have no idea, but I’m guessing at least 5. Either way, Future gotta give up some M’s
