Kanye West Revisits Ozzy & Sharon Osbourne Halloween Costumes After Uncleared Sample Roast
Yesterday, Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign hosted a listening party in Chicago for their upcoming album, Vultures. While attendees were glad to get a taste of what’s to come ahead of the release, not everybody was pleased. Earlier today, Ozzy Osbourne slammed Ye on Twitter/X, claiming that he used his sample when he explicitly told him he didn’t have permission.
“[He] WAS REFUSED PERMISSION BECAUSE HE IS AN ANTISEMITE AND HAS CAUSED UNTOLD HEARTACHE TO MANY,” Ozzy explained. Shortly after Ozzy’s post, his wife Sharon jumped into the debacle, similarly blasting Ye for his use of the sample. “Kanye f***ed with the wrong Jew this time,” she told TMZ, also calling him a “pig” who “represents hate.”

Kanye West Reacts To Ozzy Osbourne Calling Him Out
Clearly, neither of them was thrilled to be associated with Kanye, or so it seems. In response to their comments, Ye recently took to social media to remind fans of their 2023 Halloween costumes. Ozzy dressed up as Kanye while Sharon dressed up as his wife, Bianca Censori. He posted a screenshot of a text conversation with an unknown individual, which included of photo of Ozzy and Sharon in their costumes. “He obviously has a celebrity handler who’s on his account,” the unknown person wrote.
Ye then reposted a fan’s Tweet about DJ Roca’s response to being sampled by him, seeming to imply that Ozzy should be grateful. Some fans think he and Sharon’s costumes suggest that they were fans of Ye, at least at some point. Others argue that they simply “think he’s ridiculous.” What do you think of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne putting Kanye West on blast for using a sample without permission? What about Ye responding by posting a photo of their Halloween costumes? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Macy Gray Addresses Misconceptions Surrounding Alleged Family Dispute
This week, with reports of a family dispute involving alternative singer Macy Gray, her daughter, and her son. Allegations of physical abuse against Macy Gray surfaced, prompting her daughter to file what was initially reported as a restraining order against her brother. However, Macy Gray has stepped forward to set the record straight, insisting that the situation has been misconstrued.
Taking to Instagram in a video shared with her followers, Macy Gray addressed the swirling rumors, asserting that her son would never resort to violence against her. She emphasized that her son is not the type of person to engage in physical altercations, debunking the claims of abuse that had circulated in the media.
Furthermore, Macy Gray clarified the context surrounding quotes attributed to her daughter regarding her son’s alleged abuse. She explained that the statements were taken out of context, leading to misconceptions about the nature of the dispute. Macy Gray revealed that the alleged abuse was verbal in nature, not physical, as had been portrayed in some reports.
Macy Gray clarified the legal action that had been taken, shedding light on the true nature of the document filed by her daughter. Contrary to initial reports of a restraining order, Macy Gray clarified that the document was, in fact, a “move out” order. She explained that her 27-year-old son had been reluctant to find his own place, prompting the need for legal intervention.
It’s important to note that move-out orders and restraining orders fall under the same category in the jurisdiction where the document was filed, contributing to the confusion surrounding the situation. Macy Gray’s explanation offers a more nuanced understanding of the events and underscores the complexities involved in family disputes.
