Kelly Osbourne Just Destroyed Dee Snider In One Instagram Post
Dee Snider picked a fight about songwriting credit on Ozzy Osbourne’s 1991 album No More Tears. Three days later he was publicly clarifying that he has nothing but love for Ozzy, after Kelly Osbourne delivered one of the most surgical takedowns of the year — reminding the Twisted Sister frontman exactly how long it’s been since his last hit.

Here’s how fast this went from a fan comment to a public war of words.
It started innocently enough. A fan brought up the late Motörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister’s writing credits on No More Tears — Lemmy co-wrote several tracks on the record, including the title track, “Hellraiser,” “Mama, I’m Coming Home” and “I Don’t Want To Change The World.” Snider jumped into the thread with a pointed line about Sharon Osbourne, suggesting she wasn’t exactly generous about sharing credit.
That alone would have been a minor social media spat. Then it escalated.
When someone raised bassist Bob Daisley’s own claim that he’d written a substantial share of the lyrics on No More Tears before being let go from Ozzy’s band, Snider went further — arguing Ozzy had a long pattern of relying on his bass players to write his lyrics, name-checking Geezer Butler’s work on the Black Sabbath catalogue and Daisley’s contributions to the early solo records as examples.
It reads, charitably, like an industry veteran talking shop about songwriting credit. It reads, uncharitably, like someone questioning whether one of the most important figures in heavy metal history actually wrote his own material — seventeen days after that figure died.
Kelly wasn’t going to let it sit.
LIVE & LOUD: Stream the World’s Hardest Radio Station 24/7Kelly’s Response Did Not Hold Back
She opened on Instagram Stories with a defense of her father’s legacy as a musician and bandleader, the kind of statement you’d expect. Then she posted again, and the second post is the one that’s been screenshotted across every corner of the metal internet since.
She opened by noting Snider’s last hit — “We’re Not Gonna Take It” — came out the year she was born, over forty years ago. From there she called Snider’s attempt to diminish her father’s legacy “spectacularly classless,” pointed out that Ozzy is no longer here to respond to the allegations himself, and questioned how much Snider could really know about her father’s private life or working relationships from the outside.
Then came the career comparison, which she framed as devastating on its own terms: a brief run of mainstream success four decades ago against a six-decade career that helped invent heavy metal with Black Sabbath before building one of the biggest solo careers in the genre’s history. She suggested the whole thing might be less about songwriting credit and more about getting people talking about Snider again — and closed by thanking him, with visible sarcasm, for showing everyone exactly how desperate he really is.
It is, by any measure, one of the more comprehensively delivered call-outs in recent rock memory.
Snider’s Walk-Back
Snider returned to X shortly after with a clarification: he has nothing but love for Ozzy, Ozzy was always kind to him personally, and Black Sabbath changed his life. He added that as a songwriter himself, he can be sensitive about credit and royalty questions.
It’s a real walk-back, but it doesn’t erase the framing of his original comments — that Ozzy’s songwriting contributions were, in Snider’s telling, more limited than commonly understood. Whether that’s a fair historical point about how classic rock songwriting credits actually worked, or a badly timed argument to be having in public right now, is exactly the debate that’s currently playing out across every comment section covering this.

The Bigger Picture
Songwriting credit disputes are as old as rock itself, and there’s a legitimate version of this conversation — plenty of frontmen across the genre’s history have leaned on bandmates and session writers, and it’s not remotely unusual or scandalous on its own. Geezer Butler writing the Sabbath lyrics is well documented and never controversial. Daisley’s contributions to the early solo albums are part of the historical record too.
What made this land differently is timing and framing. Raising it as a public argument, aimed at diminishing the scope of what Ozzy contributed, in the weeks immediately following his death, was never going to read as a good-faith historical footnote — and Kelly made sure it didn’t.
