Last Friday, the 9th, after being criticized by Ozzy Osbourne for using a snippet of the song "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath during an event promoting his new album, Vultures, with Ty Dolla $ign , Kanye West , now known simply as Ye , responded ironically through his social media.
In an Instagram Stories post, Ye shared a screenshot of a text posted by Ozzy Osbourne, where the heavy metal veteran accuses him of using a snippet of "War Pig" without permission and calls him an anti-Semite. In the same image, the rapper included a photo of Ozzy and his wife Sharon Osbourne , dressed as Ye and his partner, Bianca Censori , at a Halloween party last year.
Ye's response came with a sarcastic message that read: "He obviously has a celebrity assistant messing with his account."
In an interview with Billboard , Sharon Osbourne defended her husband and explained that the fantasies were just a joke. "The fact is, we don't want to be associated with someone who hates," she pointed out. "Spreading hate the way he does shouldn't be allowed. All the excuses – about him being bipolar or something like that – don't change that." In its article, Billboard noted that Sharon Osbourne's father, Don Arden , was Jewish and that she was raised Jewish.
