Michael Jackson has bought a stake in Eminem's back catalogue.

Jackson, who also currently owns The Beatles copyright, has bought Famous Music LLC from Viacom.

As well as owning Eminem's 'Without Me' and 'The Real Slim Shady', Jackson now owns the rights to songs by Shakira, Beck and Bjork.

In a statement Jackson said: "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."

Eminem famously parodied Jackson in his video for 'Without Me', a massive worldwide hit in 2002.

after Dangerous??? nah man, HIStory was fucking sick, one of his best albums. If you would have said, after HIStory, I would have agreed since Invincible was garbage.

But HIStory, man I love that album:

Scream, They Don't Care About Us, Earth Song, DS, 2 Bad, Tabloid Junkie, Stranger In Moscow, This Time Around.....those are the jams.

The song with Biggie on History is garbage.
