Let\u2019s just say that Sharon [Osbourne] doesn\u2019t like to share.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Later, when another person noted that bassist Bob Daisley wrote a \u201cload\u201d of Ozzy\u2019s early solo songs, Snider replied, \u201cA load? How about ALL the lyrics? Ozzy always had bass players write his lyrics. [Black Sabbath bassist] @geezerbutler wrote ALL of @BlackSabbath lyrics. Daisley wrote lyrics for the first two solo albums (I\u2019m pretty sure he was paid to write on other records but not credited) &amp; Lemmy wrote lyrics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Related Video<\/p>\n<p>Seeing Snider\u2019s remarks, Kelly took to her Instagram Stories to write, \u201cMy father\u2019s legacy as a musician, songwriter, singer and bandleader speaks for itself. His friends, those who worked with him, those who loved him and millions of fans around the world that still continue to buy his records know exactly what he meant, what he contributed and what he leaves behind. His legacy will live on eternally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She then followed up with a lengthier post, which read at the top, \u201c@deesnider your last hit\u2026 not to age myself was the year I was born over 40 years ago,\u201d referring to Twisted Sister\u2019s \u201cWe\u2019re Not Gonna Take It,\u201d released in 1984.<\/p>\n<p>Underneath that, she wrote the following:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">\u201cThere\u2019s something spectacularly classless about Dee Snider trying to diminish my father Ozzy Osbourne and his extraordinary abilities and achievements when he is no longer here to challenge his allegations, particularly when Snider cannot claim to know the private reality of my father\u2019s life simply by looking in from the outside or from hearsay from a delusional man with a vendetta against my father. When to the best of my knowledge they were maybe in the same room once if even at all.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">And if Snider wants to invite comparisons between their careers, that comparison is devastating enough on its own.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">Snider had a brief period of mainstream success more than 40 years ago. My father\u2019s career spanned nearly six decades\u2014from helping define heavy metal with Black Sabbath to building an extraordinary solo career. His music will continue influencing generations long after all of us are gone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">It\u2019s difficult not to wonder whether Snider\u2019s attempt to belittle my father is simply a way of getting people talking about him again. Because musically, the music industry moved on from Snider\u2019s commercial peak decades ago, while my father\u2019s name, catalogue and influence still remains globally relevant.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">My father doesn\u2019t need Dee Snider\u2019s approval to establish his place in music history.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">And trying to make my father smaller won\u2019t make Dee Snider bigger. It only reminds everyone of the enormous difference between their legacies and further proves just how irrelevant Snider is to the music industry and society as a whole. However I would like to thank you Dee Snider for allowing the world to see how truly desperate he really is!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Following Kelly\u2019s post, Snider later clarified, \u201cTo be clear, I HAVE NOTHING BUT LOVE FOR OZZY. He was always lovely to me. @BlackSabbath changed my life! As a songwriter I can be a little touchy about credit and royalties.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">And again.
