Sharon Osbourne joined her husband Ozzy Osbourne in calling out Kanye West for using an unauthorized sample of a Black Sabbath song.
The drama began after the British rock star said he wants ‘no association’ with West, who has a long history of making antisemitic comments, following a listening party for the rapper’s upcoming Vultures album, which features a snippet of Ozzy’s band’s hit War Pigs.
Sharon, whose father Don Arden was Jewish, said that the couple fired off a cease and desist to Kanye, per her interview with TMZ on Friday.
‘Kanye f****d with the wrong Jew this time,’ she added.
The former host of The Talk clarified that Kanye’s team requested permission to use the sample three weeks ago. However, her husband, who typically approves such requests, responded with a firm ‘absolutely not’.

Sharon told the outlet that Kanye ‘represents hate,’ and that he’s a ‘disrespectful antisemite,’ therefore Ozzy had a ‘special f***ing occasion to say no.’
After reiterating that the Osbourne famliy wants nothing to do with Kanye, she added: ‘the motherf***er’s a pig.’
Sharon’s epic clap back comes after Ozzy took to Twitter to slam the Grammy winner and denounce him for the pain he has caused the Jewish community.
‘@kanyewest ASKED PERMISSION TO SAMPLE A SECTION OF A 1983 LIVE PERFORMANCE OF ‘WAR PIG’ FROM THE US FESTIVAL WITHOUT VOCALS & WAS REFUSED PERMISSION BECAUSE HE IS AN ANTISEMITE AND HAS CAUSED UNTOLD HEARTACHE TO MANY,’ Osbourne wrote on X (previously known as Twitter).
He continued: ‘HE WENT AHEAD AND USED THE SAMPLE ANYWAY AT HIS ALBUM LISTENING PARTY LAST NIGHT. I WANT NO ASSOCIATION WITH THIS MAN!’
DailyMail.com has contacted reps for West for comment, but has not heard back.
Oddly enough, Osbourne and his wife dressed as West and Bianca Censori last year for Halloween.
West took to Instagram on Friday to poke fun at Ozzy by posting a snap of the pair in their Halloween costumes.

‘He obviously has a celebrity handler who’s on his account,’ Kanye captioned it.
On Thursday, the livestream for West’s album listening party was cut off after he referred to himself in a song as a ‘crazy, bipolar, anti-Semite.’
After that lyric the feed on streaming service Veeps cut to black and went silent as the star was apparently censored.
West has a documented history of anti-Semitism and last year lost out on a number of partnership deals after going on an explosive anti-Semitic rant.
The ex-husband of Kim Kardashian vowed to go ‘death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE’ in a string of sick posts online.
His title track Vultures also included the vile lyric: ‘How am I anti-Semitic? I just f****d a Jewish b***h.’

The father-of-four went on to upload an image of the number ‘1’ on his account, most likely a nod to Vultures, Volume One, which he previously announced was dropping on February 9.
Both West and Sucker for Pain hitmaker, 41, also shared an image, which read: ‘Vultures United Center Chicago 02 08 24.’
At this time, United Center does not any events set for Thursday.
The Chicago Blackhawks, however, are scheduled to play at the stadium on Wednesday and Friday.
Back in 2021, ahead of the release of his tenth studio album Donda, he previously hosted multiple listening parties for fans in Chicago and Atlanta.
His single, Vulture, off the record, has been slammed by Jewish organizations who branded him ‘pathetic and sad’ over vile lyrics about a Jewish woman.
Vultures features the ‘offensive’ lyrics: ‘How am I anti-Semitic? I just f***ed a Jewish b****.’
The lyrics prompted a furious backlash among some fans and was even condemned by the American Jewish Committee, among others.
The video featured bizarre religious imagery and shots of Kanye with a weapon
‘To fuel the flames of antisemitism and promote such bile to his millions of followers, especially at this fraught and dangerous time for the Jewish community, is unforgivable,’ spokesman Richard Hirschhaut told TMZ, at the time.
He added that the West’s choice is unsurprising however, given his previous antisemitic remarks.
But he said this latest scandal, ‘seems particularly pathetic and sad.’
The Anti Defamation League also joined criticism, telling the outlet: ‘At a time of rising antisemitism worldwide, it’s disgusting to see Kanye once again use his platform to spew Jew hatred.’

The ex-husband of Kim Kardashian vowed to go ‘death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE’ in a string of sick posts online.
Shortly after the tweet, the Praise God rapper told Piers Morgan he only meant to take aim at certain specific Jews, who he felt exploited him.
When the talk show host contended the comments were ‘as racist as anything you’ve been through,’ the Gold Digger rapper retorted, ‘that’s why I said it. I fought fire with fire.’
In an interview with right wing talk show host Alex Jones in early December, Kanye praised Hitler for his ‘redeeming qualities.’

He also maintained that the ‘Holocaust is not what happened’ and promoted the conspiracy theory that Black people are the real Jews.
West’s rants saw him lose out on lucrative contracts with The Gap, Adidas and Balenciaga and more.
He was also dropped by his management team at Creative Artists Agency.
His decision to debut the song comes at a time when anti-Semitic attacks are on the rise amid the ongoing Israel Hamas conflict.
Racism against Jewish people and Muslims has soared in the wake of the October 7 attack.

According to the Anti-Defamation League the number of anti-Semitic incidents increased fourfold.
The watchdog counted 312 anti-Semitic incidents between October 7-23, ranging from harassment to vandalism and physical assaults.
Meanwhile college campuses ands schools have seen a notable spike, according to the American Jewish Committee.
A record number of incidents were reported, with nearly 100 incidents occurring at US universities between October 7 and 30.
The soaring number of incidents has prompted the White House to introduce a series of measures to tackle the ‘alarming’ rise in both anti-Semitic and Islamophobic attacks.
