A D.C. Superior Court judge ordered the Kennedy Center to pay $252,479.70 in legal fees to jazz drummer Chuck Redd, according to The Washington Post.
"When I saw the name change on the Kennedy Center website and then hours later on the building, I chose to cancel our concert," Redd said.
In response, Former Kennedy Center President Richard Grenell threatened $1 million in damages and accused Redd of "classic intolerance," NPR reported.
Judge Tanya Jones Bosier found no valid contract and no provable damages.
Trump's name has since been removed from the building under a separate federal court order, the BBC reported in June.
