Ozzy Osbourne Merch Store Drops Limited Roger Waters Diss Item
Ozzy Osbourne’s official merchandise store has released a limited edition shirt taking a direct shot at Roger Waters. The item was available for only 48 hours and immediately sparked strong reactions across the rock community.
The shirt is titled “Another Prick in the Wall”, a clear reference to Pink Floyd’s classic album The Wall. On the front, the design shows the phrase “OZZY RULES” sprayed over what resembles Waters’ name, painted across a brick wall backdrop. On the back, a cartoon figure with long hair and an Ozzy shirt is shown urinating a rainbow stream onto a wall that mirrors the artwork of The Wall. The shirt sold for approximately 45 dollars.
The release comes after months of tension between the two camps. Earlier this year, Waters made dismissive comments about Ozzy and Black Sabbath in an interview, calling Ozzy’s stage persona “idiocy” and downplaying Sabbath’s influence. Members of the Osbourne family responded aggressively on social media at the time, with Jack Osbourne publicly voicing his frustration.
The new merch item appears to be the Osbourne camp’s latest and most public response. Fans were quick to react when the shirt dropped on December 1. Some praised the humor and boldness, calling it a classic example of Ozzy’s rebellious spirit. Others criticized the move as petty, noting the legacy of both artists and the long standing respect for Pink Floyd’s history.
Limited edition merch drops tied to controversies are rare in classic rock, making this release a notable moment in the ongoing feud between Waters and the Osbourne family. Whether the tension continues or cools down remains to be seen, but the shirt has already succeeded in keeping the conversation lively across social media and music news platforms.
