The astonishing claims about the Birmingham-born Black Sabbath icon, who died last year, were made by American heavy metal star Dee Snider, of Twisted Sister.

In a post on X, he claimed Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler penned all of the band's lyrics.

He also claimed Ozzy's first two solo albums featured lyrics written by Bob Daisley, and that the No More Tears album had contributions from Lemmy Kilmister.

Snider also suggested that Sharon Osbourne "doesn't like to share" while discussing the legacy of Ozzy's music, but aded that while many artisits don't write their own material they can still make songs their own.

Sharon is certainly the bigger asshole of the two tbh.

I was at the show when Bruce Dickinson got fed up with Ozzy but mostly with Sharron and the next day Iron Maiden was kicked out of the Ozzfest. At the time I was thinking wow what the fuck is that about. But he was right. She made Ozzys problems worse. It took over an hour after Iron Maiden was done for Black Sabbath to start. It seemed like they were about start and the band stood out there for like 15-20 minutes before Ozzy came out. And it was like one song pause for 5 minutes play another song. No wonder they had problems with Ozzy.
