Kid Rock has agreed to pay a fine to settle a recent battery lawsuit.

The singer was sued by three men who claimed Rock and his entourage physically assaulted them outside a Hollywood hotel in 2006.

Rock, whose real name is Robert Ritchie, represented himself in court earlier this month.

"Mr Ritchie still says he did not do anything wrong and is still very upset by the lawsuit," the singer's attorney Edward C Stark said after the ruling was announced, according to E! Online.

A jury found that both the plaintiffs and defendants were to blame in the scuffle.

Ritchie was ordered to pay a fine of $35,000 (£25,000) to settle the lawsuit.
