Overview
- Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider posted on X that Ozzy “always had bass players write his lyrics,” naming Geezer Butler, Bob Daisley and Lemmy as contributors.
- Kelly Osbourne responded in a series of Instagram Stories on Friday with sharp denunciations of Snider’s remarks and an explicit order to “keep my father’s name out of your f***ing mouth.”
- Snider later wrote on X that he meant no disrespect, saying he had “nothing but love for Ozzy” and framing his comments as concern about songwriting credit and royalties.
- No new documents or legal action have emerged to settle the authorship claims, which reporters note are part of long‑running, contested disputes tied to past lawsuits and disputed credits.
- The exchange has kept the Osbourne estate, historical claims by collaborators such as Daisley and Butler, and how social media shapes rock‑era legacy disputes in the public conversation.
