Sharon Osbourne gives update on husband Ozzy's furious feud with Kanye West
The pair were once pals, but now Kanye West and Ozzy Osbourne aren't talking after the rapper's controversial year on social media.
He was banned from most of his pages after spouting vile antisemitic messages, as well as landing in hot water for sharing explicit pictures of his new wife Bianca Censori. But it all kicked off when Ye asked to sample music from Ozzy's band Black Sabbath.
The rocker refused and called Kanye an "antisemite" for some of the things he'd said online, stuff he apologised for in various formats, including a planned upcoming hour-long explanation video. But now Sharon's spoken out about her family's row with Ye, after dressing up as him and his model wife Bianca only last year.

The sample from Ozzy's band performing War Pigs in 1983 was eventually used, but Sharon told viewers Ye's now "pulled it". She told Jack: "That's all we have to say. We just didn't want to be associated with anything with him because of his stance on current issues which are very important to me and your dad."
Sharon explained: "We didn't want to have any association with anybody like that. And that's the end of it, next." Jack revealed that "everyone went crazy" during the pair's public spat after Ozzy took to his social media accounts to rant about Kanye.
On Instagram, he wrote: " Kanye West 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.

"He went ahead and used the sample anyway at his album listening party last night. I want no association with this man!" Sharon, whose father Don Arden was Jewish, has previously weighed in on the row in an interview with TMZ, saying: "Kanye f***ed with the wrong Jew this time." The 71-year-old television personality said she and her husband Ozzy fired off a cease and desist to Ye.
She added that Kayne "represents hate" and that he’s a "disrespectful antisemite". Ye retaliated as he shared a photo of the Osbournes on his Instagram. The snap showed Ozzy and Sharon dressed up as Kanye and Bianca for Halloween. He wrote: "He obviously has a celebrity handler who’s on his account."
Black Sabbath's War Pigs is one of the band's most famous songs and is known for being an anti-war anthem. For years Kanye has been accused of being antisemitic and has been known to make comments praising Hitler. He had his Instagram account temporarily locked and was dropped from Universal Music Group and his agency CAA. Balenciaga and Gap also dropped their collaboration with Kanye's clothing brand Yeezy.
