Ozzy Osbourne<\/a><\/strong> wants nothing to do with Kanye West<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Prince of Darkness took to X on Friday, February 9, to rip the controversial rapper and producer after West allegedly sampled a section of Black Sabbath\u2019s \u201cWar Pigs\u201d despite being denied permission to do so.<\/p>\n

\u201c@kanyewest ASKED PERMISSION TO SAMPLE A SECTION OF A 1983 LIVE PERFORMANCE OF \u2018WAR PIG\u2019 FROM THE US FESTIVAL WITHOUT VOCALS & WAS REFUSED PERMISSION BECAUSE HE IS AN ANTISEMITE AND HAS CAUSED UNTOLD HEARTACHE TO MANY,\u201d Osbourne, 75, wrote. \u201cHE WENT AHEAD AND USED THE SAMPLE ANYWAY AT HIS ALBUM LISTENING PARTY LAST NIGHT. I WANT NO ASSOCIATION WITH THIS MAN!\u201d<\/p>\n

The album in question is West and Ty Dolla $ign<\/strong>\u2019s Vultures<\/em>, which was scheduled for release on Friday but as of this writing is still not out. The album listening party took place Thursday, February 8, at the United Center in Chicago.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tWhere\u2019s the beef? Over the years, Kanye West has remained outspoken about his opinions \u2014 and he isn\u2019t afraid to stand up against naysayers. While the Yeezy designer and Drake were once close friends and collaborators, the duo\u2019s bond quickly faded after Pusha-T called out the Canada native on his \u201cInfrared\u201d single in 2018, which [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This seems to be familiar territory for West, 46, who has gotten into trouble for similar incidents in the past. In December 2023, he came under fire for sampling the Backstreet Boys\u2019 1997 hit \u201cEverybody (Backstreet\u2019s Back)\u201d without permission. And in 2022, the company that owns Boogie Down Productions\u2019 1986 song \u201cSouth Bronx\u201d sued him for the same reason, though that lawsuit was eventually dropped.<\/p>\n

Osbourne hasn\u2019t always been this resistant to artists sampling his work. In January, he called T-Pain<\/strong>\u2019s recent cover of \u201cWar Pigs\u201d the best he had ever heard. Back in 2010, he took no issue with West sampling \u201cIron Man\u201d on \u201cHell of a Life\u201d from the album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tA heavy metal icon. Ozzy Osbourne has sold over 100 million records worldwide between his solo career and his days as a member of Black Sabbath. The England native got his start in 1967 when he joined bassist Geezer Butler\u2019s first band, Rare Breed, as a vocalist. Although the group didn\u2019t last long, the duo [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Of course, a lot has changed since then. As Osbourne alluded to in his tweet, West has since made a number of antisemitic and other controversial comments, leading him to lose a number<\/a> of endorsement deals, most notably with Adidas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite apologizing publicly<\/a>, West has continued to make such comments, even as recently as Thursday night. During the listening party, he performed a song with the lyrics, \u201cAnd I\u2019m still crazy, bipolar, antisemite \/ And I\u2019m still the king.\u201d<\/p>\n
