Ozzy Osbourne took to social media today to attack rapper Kanye West for allegedly using a sample of a  Black Sabbath track classic at a listening party for the rapper’s new album. West and Ty Dolla $ign hosted the listening party at the United Center in Chicago on Thursday (February 11) ahead of the Vultures album LP’s release and played a track that sampled Ozzy’s live performance of “War Pigs” from the Sabbath singer solo concert at the US Festival in 1983. Read Ozzy’s disgusted comments below. He called West and anti-semite and said he did not want to be associated with him.


“Kanye West ASKED PERMISSION TO SAMPLE A SECTION OF A 1983 LIVE PERFORMANCE OF ‘WAR PIG’ [sic] 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!”
