Rock legend Ozzy Osbourne criticized Kanye West for using an unauthorized Black Sabbath sample on his new album “Vultures.”
The angry singer took to social media to vent his frustration branding West an “antisemitic” who he wants nothing to do with.
The controversial rapper has a history of anti-Semitic statements, which has caused him to face criticism and lose several deals.

Osbourne recently blasted Kanye West on X (formerly known as Twitter) for including an unauthorized sample of Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs” in a song on his upcoming record, “Vultures,” with Ty Dolla $ign.
After West’s album listening party in Chicago at Chicago’s United Center on Thursday, Osbourne, 75, said he wanted “no association” with the “Praise God” rapper, citing West’s history of controversial statements.

Taking to X, Osbourne blasted West’s claims of antisemitism, writing: “@kanyewest ASKED PERMISSION TO SAMPLE ‘WAR PIG’ 1983 LIVE PERFORMANCE SECTION FROM US PARTY WITHOUT VOCALS & WAS DENIED PERMISSION BECAUSE HE WAS DAN HALDANT. HEART PAIN FOR MANY.”
He added: “HE FIRST AND USED THAT SAMPLE AT HIS ALBUM LISTENING PARTY LAST NIGHT. I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS MAN!”
Kanye West’s Live Stream Cuts Off ‘Anti-Semitic’ Speech

During a live broadcast of West’s album listening party Thursday at Chicago’s United Center, transmission was abruptly cut short after the Grammy-winning artist referred to himself as “crazy, bipolar, anti-Semitic” in one of his songs.
Following these controversial lyrics, the Veeps streaming service cut to a black screen and muted audio, as if censoring West.
West has a controversial history of anti-Semitic statements and has faced criticism for them, resulting in the loss of a lucrative partnership agreement.
In 2022, the “All of the Lights” rapper went on an anti-Semitic rant, vowing to do “3 deaths to the JEWS.”
Additionally, his song “Vultures” from his upcoming album contains derogatory lyrics about Jewish individuals, which read: “How can I be anti-Semitic? I’m just a b—– a Jew—-.”

West’s latest move is somewhat confusing, especially after the rapper issued an apology to the Jewish community, claiming that he never intended to “hurt” anyone with his statement.
The rapper said, “I sincerely apologize to the Jewish community for any ‘inadvertent attack.’ I did not intend to hurt or demean, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused.”
He continued, “I am committed to starting with myself and learning from this experience to ensure greater sensitivity and understanding in the future. Your forgiveness is important to me, and I am committed to making amends and promoting unity.”
The rapper’s apology, written in Hebrew, was met with scrutiny, with many claiming it was inauthentic. Later, reports claimed that it was actually his wife, Bianca Censori, who forced West to apologize, worried about her and her husband’s safety.

Promised to be released on February 9, fans were left wondering when the highly anticipated “Vultures” album did not drop.
Rapper “Donda” previously announced a NYC event for the album, sharing a cryptic clip from the controversial music video for its lead single, which reads: “Vultures UBS Arena New York 02 09 24.”
Later, West posted a video clip titled “VULTURES (Havoc Version) by Jon Rafman,” showcasing a dystopian landscape, a masked figure resembling him holding a gun and a burning church in the background.

He also teased a Chicago listening party for his joint album with Ty Dolla $ign while clearing his Instagram account for the second time in a week. Earlier this week, the rapper hinted that a listening party was set for Thursday at the United Center, sharing the news on Instagram.
West posted an image of the number “1,” possibly referring to the release of “Vultures, Volume One.”
Additionally, both West and the “Sucker for Pain” singer, 41, shared a promotional image announcing “Vultures United Center Chicago 02 08 24.”
However, as of now, the United Center schedule for Thursday remains open, with the Chicago Blackhawks playing on Wednesday and Friday.
