Ozzy Osbourne has praised T-Pain’s cover of classic Black Sabbath single, ‘War Pigs’.
The song which originally featured on Black Sabbath’s 1970 sophomore album Paranoid, was originally covered by T-Pain, featuring on his compilation covers On Top Of The Covers in 2023.
The album also included covers of tracks from music legends such as Frank Sinatra and Journey.
T-Pain’s cover of the song attracted major attention online, earning the most Spotify streams of any track from the album, with the subsequent music video going viral online.

Last month, Ozzy Osbourne was also forced to dismiss claims that he had died.
Osbourne stated this during a ‘New Year Special’ episode of The Osbournes podcast, amid bizarre claims that he had passed away.
After his wife Sharon had branded the sources of this misinformation as “sick f*****”, Jack Osbourne praised fans for calling out publications over this story.
“I’m not dead, I’m not going any-f******-where. And I’m gonna go and do some more gigs before I’m finished, anyway”, Ozzy added.
