The rapper doesn’t say many words about Osbourne’s allegations. He lets a picture speak for itself.
Ozzy Osbourne couldn’t believe it when Kanye West used a sample from the Black Sabbath song “Iron Man” for the VULTURES 1 track “Carnival”, even though he had previously explicitly forbidden the rapper from doing so. The 75-year-old explained his disfavor towards West by saying that he was “an anti-Semite” and that he therefore did not want to be associated with him in any way. Now West is responding to the diss.
As a reminder, here is Ozzy Osbourne’s X post:
Above all, West lets one photo speak for itself
Kanye West responded to Osbourne’s allegations via Instagram story. However, he doesn’t say many words about the rocker. The 46-year-old shares a Halloween couple look from Ozzy Osbourne with his wife Sharon. The two only dressed up as the rapper and his wife Bianca Censori in 2023.

Who isn’t strict here?
For the costume, the two recreated a look made famous by West and Censori from a viral photo, in which Ye dressed all in black while Censori stood next to him covered in only a pillow. You can also read in the background of the Instagram story: Osbourne’s X statement. And Kanye West says succinctly: “He obviously has an artist relations manager who takes care of his account.”
In doing so, West is attacking Osbourne in that he is implicitly assuming that he does not have his own social media accounts under control and is therefore also allowing inconsistent postings to be made. But he doesn’t spell this out. It can only be assumed that the US rapper means: If Ozzy Osbourne doesn’t want to have anything to do with West, he shouldn’t pretend to be Ye during the holidays.
There is currently no further statement from the Osbournes about this.
