Ozzy Osbourne put Kanye West on blast for sampling his music without permission.
Ye featured a sample from Black Sabbath’s song “War Pigs” on his new album VULTURES.
“. @KANYEWEST ASKED PERMISSION TO SAMPLE A SECTION OF A 1983 LIVE PERFORMANCE OF “IRON MAN” 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 ANYWAY AT HIS ALBUM LISTENING PARTY LAST NIGHT. I WANT NO ASSOCIATION WITH THIS MAN!” he wrote on X.

Kanye has apologized for his antisemitic rants, but a 40-minute recorded apology was rumored to be released ahead of his album dropping, but it never came. Some members of the Jewish community are not accepting his apology as they think he is still anti-semitic.
“Kanye out there, he’s sort of was helpful for spreading the fertilizer, and I do mean fertilizer, for this idea that Israel and the Jews are the worst people in the world. By the way, we had an amazing, fun time. He’s a very charming anti-Semite. And by the way, he’s not the only one in America who feels that way. It’s not like the Jews are universally loved except for Kanye West,” Bill Maher said earlier this month.
