Ozzy Osbourne did not just throw shade at Ye; he unleashed a verbal thunderstorm. He accused Ye of pilfering a Black Sabbath sample for his album ‘Vultures’ without a golden ticket of permission. The rock maestro, backed by his partner-in-crime Sharon, did not beat around the bush. They alleged that Ye got the red light due to whispers of antisemitism. Sharon, labeling Ye as someone who “stirred the wrong cauldron,” spilled the beans about slapping a cease and desisted on the rapper.
The Osbournes, repulsed by what they deemed disrespectful behavior with a side of antisemitic vibes, declared a musical divorce with Ye, even if it meant waltzing into a courtroom showdown. In a counterattack to the Osbournes’ lyrical assault, Ye took to Instagram, sharing a screen grab that hinted at someone else possibly pulling the strings on Osbourne’s account. The growing feud turned into a musical jousting arena with accusations and showdowns galore between two legends of the music world.
In the wake of the recent showdown, the spotlight turns to a previously buried chapter. Contrary to being a mere beef, it appears to be a costume caper executed by the Osbournes.
The Osbournes’ unearthed antics
Ye and Bianca Censori, notorious for their eye-catching attire, set tongues wagging across Europe during their summer escapade with a series of eccentric outfits that raised more than a few eyebrows. Their fashion choices earned them the label of being highly controversial, especially among the discerning Italian locals. However, months later, rock legend Ozzy Osbourne and his wife, Sharon, decided to play copycat for Halloween, donning the peculiar ensembles that had previously caused a commotion on the European streets.
