Migos are settling a lawsuit over their payday for the Fyre Festival.
The trio – Offset, Quavo and Takeoff – have agreed to pay $30,000 back, according to The Blast.
The band was actually paid $100,000 to perform at the once-planned, but disastrous musi festival.
In documents obtained by the site, they read that “The Defendant shall pay the total sum of $30,000.00 (the “Settlement Payment”), as full and final settlement and complete satisfaction of any claims the Trustee has raised against the Defendant.”
Once payment is received, all claims will be dismissed against Migos.
Many other celebrities, including Blink 182, Kendall Jenner and Emily Ratajkowski, were also sued to pay back what they received to promote the festival which was never put on.
Founder Billy McFarland is currently serving time in jail on fraud charges.

The island that was used in the promotional videos for the disastrous music festival is up for sale for $11.8 million.
Saddleback Cay private island is located in Exuma, Bahamas but is not the location where the festival was supposed to be held.
According to Forbes, the island was only used in the iconic promo video which featured models like Bella Hadid and Hailey Bieber.
Saddleback Cay spans 35 acres and boasts seven beaches as well as a cottage and several other buildings.
“I actually had a buyer the next day after [the Fyre Fest documentary] aired. They came down to check it out but it ended up not being right for them,” listing agent John Christie told Forbes.
