"Kanye West Faces Backlash Over Unauthorized Music Sampling"
TL;DR Summary
Kanye West removed a sample of Black Sabbath's 'Iron Man' from his new album after facing criticism from Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne, who accused him of being an anti-Semite and using the sample without permission. West has since replaced the sample with a legally-cleared one. This comes after West was previously accused of anti-Semitism in 2022 and faced backlash from various entities, including being dropped by his lawyer, talent agency, and record label. He recently issued an apology to the Jewish community for his previous comments.
