After Ozzy Osbourne criticized Kanye West for using a Black Sabbath sample without permission, the frontman explained his reasons for speaking out. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Osbourne expressed his frustration, stating that no one else took action regarding the unauthorized use of the sample. He emphasized the importance of not promoting discrimination in any form, especially given the current social climate.
Osbourne specifically referenced West's history of antisemitic remarks, including instances where the rapper made offensive comments towards the Jewish community. West later issued an apology to the Jewish community for his past statements. Osbourne made it clear that he did not want his work associated with any form of hate speech or discrimination.
