Can somebody tell me about MJ's beef with sony?

I MET HER ON MY WAY TO CHICAGO

WHERE SHE WAS ALL ALONE

Sure which part do you want to know

How did he manage to get his masters and how did Sony react?

Mottola got orders from the higher ups to muzzle him
Every opportunity to not promote Jackson's music in the US was used as a strategy to diminish his success and impact

Why would they wanna diminish the most famous man alive?

Because he owned half of their business with the ATV deal and actively looked to buy them out

Theories say to get McCartney his publishing back. Literally every project after Dangerous didn't get promoted to its full extent in the US compared to Mariah Carey

Not to mention he was on his Kanye s*** in 1995
Easy to silence him

MJ and Tupac on instagram would make 2020 tolerable

its not that he had his own masters, its that he bought a company and then acquired so many artists and legends masters that Sony wanted in and highkey made life difficult for him

MJ's ATV eventually partnered with Sony to make SonyATV but they still clearly wanted all of it. this lasted for years even through them lowballing the promotion of the Invincible album

there's a few good posts around the internet on youtube but its so deep there's several names consistently involved right up to MJ's death, then the Jackson Estate (ran by someone MJ one fired) sold the remaining masters off which MJ would have never done

He was owning half of a lucrative company they wanted full control off while also being their biggest star and generating billions for them. He just had a power companies hated
