Sharon Osbourne weighed in on the furious copyright row between her husband Ozzy Osbourne and Kanye West, openly dissing the rapper on X.

Sharon sent a not-so-friendly message to Kanye this week as she took to X, formerly Twitter, sharing the viral "Hello...That's my F**king song" bit featuring Dave Grohl and Lionel Richie. In the clip, Sharon shared the video with Kanye's name overtop Dave and Ozzy's name overtop Lionel. In the video, Lionel chastised Grohl for stealing his song Hello - much like Kanye sampled Ozzy's song Iron Man this week.

In the clip, Dave is seen singing and playing the piano to the hit song Hello until Lionel suddenly sneaks up behind him. He then fires off to the artist: "Hello Dave. We all have writers block, you know? But that's my f******g song. That's my f******g song. You understand what I'm saying? I like that song - no no no I love that song. It's one of my favorite songs. I love singing that song. I love that song. Get your own song nerd."

Sharon's jab at Kanye comes as the rapper sampled Ozzy's 1983 US festival live performance of Iron Man by the rock band Black Sabbath without his permission. The Prince of Darkness claimed that Kanye originally asked to use the song but he chose to deny the rapper due to the believing he is "an antisemite." This comes as a rarity as the 75-year-old rocker usually happily grants artists requests to use his songs.

In an interview with TMZ, Sharon blasted the rapper telling the news outlet: "Kanye f***ed with the wrong Jew this time." The 71-year-old former television personality added that after he used the song without permission she and her husband Ozzy fired off a cease and desist to Ye. As Sharon was raised in a Jewish household herself, she claimed that Kanye's request was a "special f***ing occasion to say no."

Speaking on Kanye's controversial remarks about the Jewish community and praises to Hilter in the past, Sharon said that in recent times Kanye "represents hate," and that he's a "disrespectful antisemite." She even went on to add that she thinks "the motherf***er's a pig."
