In 2004, Eminem released "Just Lose It," a song and music video that parodied everything from Michael Jackson's plastic surgery to the 1984 Pepsi incident that set his hair on fire. Jackson was furious, calling into Steve Harvey's radio show to call the video outrageous and disrespectful. BET pulled it from rotation. Stevie Wonder came to his defense. Three years later, Jackson made a move that spoke louder than any statement. Sony/ATV, the publishing company he co-owned 50/50 with Sony, purchased Famous Music from Viacom for $370 million, acquiring the rights to roughly 125,000 songs. Buried in that catalog was Eminem's entire back catalog, meaning every time "Just Lose It" was played anywhere in the world, Jackson's company collected the check. He never altered the lyrics. Never blocked the song. Never said another word about it publicly. He just quietly owned it. Jackson died two years later in 2009, and the two never reconciled. Eminem reportedly didn't regain his publishing rights until 2016. One of the greatest power moves in music history, and he never even had to announce it #pubity #viral
