Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider has apologised to Kelly Osbourne after remarks he made about her late father Ozzy Osbourne's songwriting were seen as diminishing his legacy. The row began when Snider agreed with bassist Bob Daisley's claim that other musicians, rather than Ozzy himself, wrote much of his solo lyrics, prompting a furious public rebuke from Kelly and an eventual climbdown from Snider on social media.

Snider had responded on X to a comment about Daisley writing "a load" of lyrics for Ozzy's album No Rest for the Wicked, claiming Geezer Butler wrote all of Black Sabbath's lyrics and that Daisley and Lemmy Kilmister wrote for Ozzy's solo work. Kelly hit back on Instagram, defending her father's "nearly six decades" of influence and pointedly noting Snider's chart success came "over 40 years ago". After a fan urged him to apologise for the hurt caused rather than defend the claims, Snider posted on X: "I'm sorry what I said hurt you. It was never my intent. My sympathies on the loss of your dad."
