There has been rumoured friction between Universal Music Group chief Doug Morris and former Sony boss Tommy Mottola after the latter told the press that he was getting $50m to revive Casablanca, rather than $10m the Universal boss agreed. Word has it Morris is furious about Mottola's words, but the pair have denied that there is any bad feeling.
Morris said: "We see each other every day. When Universal made a deal with Puffy, I was criticized for it and guess whose record is number one? Puffy's Bad Boys II soundtrack. And when Tommy comes out with his first album, it will be number one as well."
