Why Does Sharon Osbourne “Hate” YUNGBLUD? Here’s the Simple Truth.
The internet has recently swirled with gossip and misunderstandings about Sharon Osbourne and her supposed dislike for rising rock star YUNGBLUD. But before anyone jumps to conclusions or spreads hate, it’s time to break down the facts, clear the noise, and get to the heart of what’s really going on. Because here’s the truth: if you hate YUNGBLUD, you’re ignoring the people who matter most—especially Ozzy Osbourne himself.
YUNGBLUD and the Osbourne Family: More Connected Than You Think
Let’s rewind a bit. YUNGBLUD, the British genre-bending rock artist known for his explosive energy, fearless attitude, and outspoken voice for the misfits, has had a meaningful connection with the Osbourne family—especially Ozzy.
In 2022, YUNGBLUD and Ozzy teamed up for the music video for YUNGBLUD’s track “The Funeral.” The video wasn’t just a guest appearance for Ozzy and Sharon—it was a symbolic moment. Ozzy, the Prince of Darkness himself, doesn’t just show up for anyone. And it wasn’t just a one-time gesture.
Ozzy has publicly expressed that he loves YUNGBLUD like family. That’s not a phrase Ozzy tosses around lightly. He even gave YUNGBLUD one of his legendary crosses—a deeply personal and spiritual gift from Ozzy that signifies trust, kinship, and protection. If you understand Ozzy’s legacy, you know what that gesture means.
Kelly Osbourne and YUNGBLUD: Just Friends, Calm Down
Some internet sleuths have pointed fingers at YUNGBLUD’s friendship with Kelly Osbourne as a supposed source of Sharon’s alleged animosity. But here’s the thing—Kelly and YUNGBLUD are just friends. Nothing scandalous, nothing to hide. In fact, their friendship only strengthens the idea that YUNGBLUD is embraced by the Osbourne family.
Sharon, a fiercely protective matriarch and a shrewd businesswoman, may have strong opinions—but there’s no hard proof she hates YUNGBLUD. Maybe she doesn’t get his music. That’s okay. Not everyone has to like every artist. But disliking an artist’s sound doesn’t mean you hate them personally.
If You Hate YUNGBLUD, Do You Hate Ozzy Too?
Let’s be blunt. If you’re hating on YUNGBLUD without knowing him, you’re indirectly dissing Ozzy’s judgment. And that’s just plain disrespectful.
Ozzy’s career has spanned over five decades. He’s played with legends, lost icons (RIP Randy Rhoads), and built heavy metal from the ground up. When he gives someone his time, energy, or even his cross—you listen. You respect.
No one understands what Ozzy needs better than Ozzy himself. That goes for both his music and the people he surrounds himself with. Whether it’s choosing a guitarist like Zakk Wylde—whose blazing riffs helped define No More Tears—or embracing an artist like YUNGBLUD, Ozzy knows exactly what he’s doing. So why the uproar?
Zakk Wylde: Another Target of Unfair Hate
And while we’re talking about hate, let’s address another ridiculous trend—people hating on Zakk Wylde.
Zakk was and is essential to Ozzy’s post-Randy legacy. Albums like No More Tears wouldn’t be the same without his signature tone and raw emotional intensity. Zakk helped Ozzy navigate the turbulent years after the tragic loss of Randy Rhoads and brought a new dimension to Ozzy’s sound that remains iconic.
Yet some so-called fans seem more interested in complaining than appreciating the legends who have built Ozzy’s legacy over decades. That’s not fandom—that’s entitlement.
Let’s Grow Up
This isn’t about being a fan of YUNGBLUD or Zakk or any specific sound. You don’t have to like every song. Music is subjective. But hating an artist—especially one Ozzy himself supports—only shows a lack of maturity and understanding of the rock family tree.
YUNGBLUD represents a new generation of misfits—just like Ozzy did in the ‘70s. And if the original misfit-in-chief sees something in him, maybe it’s time everyone else opened their ears and hearts, too.
Ozzy once said, “I’m not going to be told what to do or who to be around. I do what feels right for me.” That’s the essence of rock ‘n’ roll. So unless you’re Ozzy himself, maybe chill on the hate.
Final Words
To those spreading hate: do some inner work. Ask yourself why you’re angry. Because if someone as legendary, respected, and battle-tested as Ozzy Osbourne can open his arms to YUNGBLUD, then maybe the problem isn’t with the artist. Maybe it’s with you.
You don’t have to love the music. You don’t even have to listen. But if you’re hating for the sake of hating—on YUNGBLUD, on Zakk, or anyone Ozzy loves—you’re not defending Ozzy’s legacy.
You’re insulting it.
