Ozzy Osbourne blasts ‘antisemite’ Kanye West for allegedly sampling rocker’s music without permission
Ozzy Osbourne is ripping into “antisemite” Kanye West for allegedly sampling the rocker’s music without permission.
“Kanye West asked permission to sample a section of a 1983 live performance of ‘War Pig[s]’ from the US Festival without vocals & was refused permission because he is an antisemite,” the former Black Sabbath frontman, 75, told his Instagram followers in a scathing post Friday.
According to Osbourne, the rapper, 46, “went ahead and used the sample anyway at his album listening party last night.”
The UK native went on to accuse West of causing “untold heartache to many” and added, “I want no association with this man!”
Reps for the Yeezy designer did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
West and fellow rapper Ty Dolla $ign hosted a “Vultures Listening Experience” at Chicago’s United Center Thursday. Their highly anticipated joint album, “Vultures,” has yet to drop.
“And I’m still crazy, bipolar, antisemite / And I’m still the king,” the Grammy winner rapped into the mic while performing.
In December 2023, West apologized to the Jewish community in Hebrew for his “unintended outburst,” insisting that it was “not [his] intention to hurt or disrespect.”
He claimed he was “committed to making amends and promoting unity” and made sure to pledge “greater sensitivity and understanding in the future.”
The musician’s act of atonement came shortly after he ranted and raved about Donald Trump, Jesus and Adolf Hitler — whom he has repeatedly praised — in Las Vegas.
He had also just given fans a glimpse of his forthcoming new music that included antisemitic messaging.
“I still keep some Jews with me / Management? Nah / I only let ’em do my jewelry,” he rapped at a listening event in Miami while wearing a KKK-style hood. “How I’m antisemitic? I just f–ked a Jewish bitch.”
West’s antisemitic antics began in October 2022 when he tweeted that he would “go death con 3 on Jewish people.”
