Ozzy Osbourne Calls Out Kanye West for Sampling Black Sabbath in New Album

Ozzy Osbourne criticizes Kanye West for using Black Sabbath's music without permission. Sharon Osbourne also joins in, mocking Kanye on social media.

Ozzy Osbourne expressed his discontent towards Kanye West for using Black Sabbath's track during a listening party for West's new album, 'Vultures.' The former Black Sabbath singer labeled Kanye as an 'antisemite' and accused him of stealing music. Despite being refused permission, Kanye proceeded to sample 'Iron Man' in an unreleased song, leading Osbourne to disassociate himself from West. The rockstar, known for hits like 'Crazy Train,' made it clear that he wants no association with Kanye West.

Sharon Osbourne, Ozzy's wife, also chimed in on social media with the hashtag #permissionnotgranted and a comedic skit featuring Lionel Richie and Dave Grohl, further intensifying the criticism towards Kanye. This dispute arose as part of the ongoing controversy surrounding Kanye West's alleged misuse of music from various artists.

In a related context, Ozzy Osbourne's nomination for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame alongside other iconic artists like Mariah Carey and Cher marks a significant recognition in the music industry. Despite the accolades, Osbourne remains focused on defending the integrity of his music and denouncing unauthorized usage by other artists.

As the clash between Ozzy Osbourne and Kanye West continues to make headlines, it highlights the complex dynamics of intellectual property rights and creative ownership in the music world. The fierce stance taken by Osbourne reflects the importance of respecting artists' works and seeking proper permissions before incorporating music in new projects.
