On Friday, the 75-year-old rock icon slammed West, 46, on X - formerly Twitter - for using a sample of Black Sabbath’s War Pigs in a track on West’s upcoming album with Ty Dolla $ign, Vultures, theNew York Post reports.
Osbourne wrote: “@kanyewest asked permission to sample a section of a 1983 live performance of War Pigs from the US festival without vocals & was refused permission because he is an antisemite and has caused untold heartache to many.
“He went ahead and used the sample anyways at his album listening party last night. I want no association with this man!”
The Post has contacted representatives for Osbourne and West for comment.
“Happy Halloween 🤘,” the caption of Sharon’s Instagram photo read, showing Ozzy in an all-black outfit and Sharon holding a pillow over her body.
Osbourne’s public bashing of West comes after the rapper, now calling himself Ye, hosted a live Vultures listening party at Chicago’s United Center on Thursday.
Veeps, the streaming service that aired the music event, allegedly shut down the broadcast quickly after Ye rapped a lyric, “And I’m still crazy, bipolar, anti-Semite. And I’m still the king.”
The title song of Vultures also featured the lyric: “How am I anti-Semitic? I just f***ed a Jewish b***h.”
This isn’t the first time the Heartless rapper has sampled a Black Sabbath song. He used the band’s hit Iron Man in his 2010 track Hell of a Life, which featured on the Grammy-winning record My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

Ozzy praised T-Pain on X last week after he performed a live rendition of War Pigs, which quickly went viral.
“This is the best cover of War Pigs ever,” Osbourne gushed in a tweet.
