Michael Jackson's estate has agreed to sell it's 50 percent share of Sony/ATV Music Publishing for $750 million to Sony, giving the company sole ownership of works by Taylor Swift, Eminem, The Beatles, 50 Cent, Rihanna, Willie Nelson, Snoop Dogg, Stevie Nicks, Santana, the Rolling Stones, LL Cool J, Mary J. Blige, R. Kelly, Lady Gaga, Jay Z, Coldplay and many others.
The joint venture between Jackson and Sony began 21 years ago.
Jackson's estate will retain the rights to his masters, as well as the 10 percent interest it holds in EMI Music Publishing, as well as Mijac Music, the publishing company that owns the songs written by Jackson as well as songs written by other writers, according to Billboard.
"This transaction further allows us to continue our efforts of maximizing the value of Michael's Estate for the benefit of his children," Jackson estate co-executors John Branca and John McClain said in a statement. "It also further validates Michael's foresight and genius in investing in music publishing. His ATV catalogue, purchased in 1985 for a net acquisition cost of $41.5 million, was the cornerstone of the joint venture and, as evidenced by the value of this transaction, is considered one of the smartest investments in music history."
When Jackson passed away in 2009, he was $500 million in debt. Posthumous sales of his music and merchandise have since shot through the roof. Coupled with proceeds from this deal with Sony, the estate is now in the black.
Michael's three children, Paris, Blanket and Prince Jackson, have trusts that assure they will be well taken care of financially.

Lil Wayne's lawyer, Michael B. Kramer, filed a lawsuit against his client in Manhattan federal court on Monday, March 14, alleging he's owed close to $300,000 in unpaid legal fees.
According to the New York Daily News, Wayne's bill shot up to $350,000 in December 2015. At that time he and Kramer worked out a payment plan.
The rapper would pay $50,000 at once, followed by $20,000 a month until the debt was paid in full.
Kramer says he received the December and January payments on time, but hasn't seen a dime from the "A Milli" hit maker since.
This is the second major lawsuit Wayne has been hit with within the last 5 months by lawyers working on his behalf.
As we previously reported, the law firm of Garbett, Allen & Roza, sued him for $80,682.45 in October 2015, for fees accumulated while they defended him against a lawsuit filed by private jet company, Signature Group.
Wayne lost that case and was ordered in September to pay Signature $2 million.

Former Chappelle's Show actor/comedian Donnell Rawlings, best known for playing Ashy Larry, got into a brawl on Sunday, March 13, at Little Pete's restaurant in Philadelphia over a lousy $12 unpaid tab.
Rawlings was accused by restaurant staff of trying to skip out on the bill. He says he simply stepped outside to smoke a cigarette.
A fistfight soon broke out between the comedian and two other dudes, followed by an argument with a waitress.
After cops arrived Rawlings paid his tab and left a $60 tip. Listen to his hilarious conversation with The Breakfast Club about the incident and watch the fight footage above.
Walking out on a tap and leaving your bag inside is not the action of someone who's trying to skip there bill! #duh #whodoesthat

Fearlessly confronting the negative comments thrown their way, Elite Society member, Don Dale collaborates with fuji artist Omo Yeye on "African Akata." With "akata" meaning African American, the new joint features special African flare with the Nigerian Yoruba language insinuated together with English that will catch anyone's attention.
The music elaborates the lifestyle of being a Nigerian youth growing up in the United States, trying to figure out where they fit within both cultures. This music encourages people to not focus on haters but to instead grind hard and embrace their culture. It seems like we will be exploring more with Don Dale's unique sound, schooling us on what the "African Akata" life is like through his perspective.

Hudson Mohawke took to his Twitter account over the weekend to air out Kanye West and Drake for allegedly not paying him for production he's done for them. At one point he threatened to leak unreleased songs from the pair.
“Literally about to release zip of kanye and drake songs I’ve done that I got [zero] for,” he wrote. “Mannn so tired of making careers for ppl who take my work n add 1 hi hat n take all the credit…exhausting shit.

Mohawke did extensive work for West on the album's "Yeezus" and "The Life of Pablo." He's credited with production on "I Am a God," "Blood on the Leaves," "Famous," "Freestyle 4," "Waves," and "FML."
He produced "Connect" off of Drake's 2013 album, "Nothing Was the Same."
In the end, Mohawke, decided the legal headaches he would have to deal with for letting the music of two of hip hop's biggest artists go without permission would be a really bad move for his career and pocketbook.
But he did throw a couple more darts before he was done.
I love yous too much to put myself into a huge legal battle for no reason n prevent me releasing my own music

Recently, Orlando Brown has been heavily covered in the media regarding his frequent arrests, his Raven-Symone "abortion" lyrics, and rumored drug issues. In an interview with VLADTV, the child star particularly clears up his drama surrounding The View host and his "It's like Raven aborted my baby" line. "I said 'it's like.'" He explained, "It's clearly a play on words, and It's a metaphor. Basically, what I mean by that is, y'all want me to go crazy, and then y'all motherfuckers want to play a nigga."
