The drama surrounding Erykah Badu's controversial music video may soon be coming to an end.

Five months after filming the video for "Window Seat," in which the singer strips off all her clothes and feigns being shot in the head in the spot where John F. Kennedy was assassinated, Badu paid a $500 fine on Friday and will serve six months of probation, a Dallas city spokesman tells the Associated Press.

Badu, 39, was issued a disorderly conduct citation in April after a witness filed a complaint.





The singer, a native of Dallas, defended the video, saying it had been "grossly misinterpreted by many."
