According to NME Michael Jackson bought a stake of Eminem’s back catalog. Jackson gave this statement on the purchase, “This is a milestone event for Sony/ATV Music Publishing. The diverse collection of songs in this catalogue range from timeless classics to contemporary hits, and I am pleased to add the acquisition of Famous Music to Sony/ ATV.” He also owns music from The Beatles, Shakira, Beck and Bjork. I wonder if he bought Eminem’s catalog because he parodied him in Without Me, a song Michael Jackson now owns?
And BTW where did he get the money to buy the catalog, I thought he was broke?
EMINEM and his fellow D-12 rappers have licensed a production run of the T-shirts they wore to slain bandmate PROOF’s funeral to raise money for his family. Proof – real name DESHAUN HOLTON – was shot dead in a Detroit, Michigan, nightclub in April (06) after he reportedly opened fire on a bouncer at the CCC venue. Close friend Eminem paid his respects during an emotionally charged service claiming, "Without Proof, there would be no Eminem, no Slim Shady." He is now urging fans who also wish to commemorate Proof’s life to wear the same Big Proof Forever T-shirt he sported at the ceremony, and buy a limited edition poster at BigProof4Ever.com.
