Ozzy Osbourne Regrets Nothing About Standing Up to Kanye West

Ozzy Osbourne discusses why he put Kanye West on notice for sampling one of his songs, condemns rapper's "discriminatory" comments.

Ozzy Osbourne felt like he had to make a stand earlier this month when Kanye West asked to sample “Iron Man” for a song on the rapper’s new album. The Estate of Donna Summer lodged a similar complaint publicly against West, alleging he used “I Feel Love” without permission on Vultures 1. Over the past year, West had promoted antisemitic tropes several times, including an incident where he said he would go “death con 3” on “Jewish people.” He eventually apologized but has promoted Vultures with artwork that resembles cover art by Burzum, a Norwegian metal act that has also been accused of antisemitism.
