Ozzy Osbourne Accuses Kanye West of Antisemitism, Alleges Unauthorized Sample Use

By -

 Black Sabbath lead singer Ozzy Osbourne took to X on Friday to blast rapper Kanye West for using a sample from the band without permission, explaining in the all caps post that West was refused permission because he’s an “ANTISEMITE”— the latest criticism of West after he lost commercial partnerships over several antisemitic comments made over the course of the last year.

 

 

Osbourne said West used a sample from a section of a 1983 live performance of Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs,” adding the sample wasn’t cleared because West is an antisemite and “has caused untold heartache to many.”

The sample was used in an unreleased song played at an album release party Thursday night, according to Osbourne, who was referencing a listening party for West and Ty Dolla $ign’s upcoming album, “Vultures,” in Chicago.

It is unclear if Osbourne will take any legal action against West, who the English musician said he wanted “NO ASSOCIATION” with at the end of his tweet.

Representatives for Osbourne and West didn’t immediately respond to Forbes’ request for comment.

Some users on X, formerly known as Twitter, were quick to criticize Osbourne, pointing out that he and his wife, Sharon, dressed up as West and his wife, Bianca Censori, for Halloween last year.

West was worth an estimated $1.8 billion in 2021 and $2 billion in 2022 before dropping off the Forbes billionaire list.  Estimated the rapper’s net worth at $400 million last April.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league."
