According to the 75-year-old rocker, his music was recently sampled by Kanye West without his approval — and he wants no part in it.
In an all-caps Instagram post and tweet Friday (Feb. 9), Osbourne cut right to the chase.
“@KAYNEWEST ASKED PERMISSION TO SAMPLE A [SECTION] OF A 1983 LIVE PERFORMANCE OF ‘WAR PIG’ FROM THE US FESTIVAL WITHOUT VOCALS,” he wrote.
The rocker continued to say that Ye 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,” Osbourne added.
In December, he extended an apology to the Jewish community for “any unintended outburst caused by my words or actions.”.
“I am committed to starting with myself and learning from this experience to ensure greater sensitivity and understanding in the future. »
