According to Yahoo! News, Michael Jackson now owns the rights to some of Eminem's catalog. This is the direct result of his Sony/ATV Music Publishing company's purchas of Famous Music LLC from Viacom.

So which songs Em's does the King of Pop own? Two of the rapper's biggest hits: Without Me and The Real Slim Shady.

In the purchase, the singer also obtained the rights to music by Shakira, Beck and Bjork, as well as the sountracks to movies such as The Godfather and Mission: Impossible.

Jackson said, via statement: "This is a milestone event for Sony/ATV Music Publishing. The diverse collection of songs in this catalog range from timeless classics to contemporary hits, and I am pleased to add the acquisition of Famous Music to Sony/ATV."

In 2004, Em controversially poked fun at the pop artist with his lead single's video at the time, Just Lose It.
