Another Twitter feud has been activated. Sharon Osbourne, the 61-year-old TV personality and wife of heavy metal vocalist Ozzy Osbourne showcased her newfound opinion on U2.

"U2 you are business moguls not musicians anymore," Osbourne tweeted. "No wonder you have to give your mediocre music away for free cause no one wants to buy it."


So where does this very vocal opinion stem from?

U2 recently partnered with Apple to release their new album Songs of Innocence. On Sept. 9, Apple made the album available to users' iTunes libraries and iOS devices through Oct. 13.

Rants and backlash begun as users were furious about this strategy. Apple has been bombarded with questions on how to go about deleting the album. In true Apple form, they launched a support page with instructions.

Osbourne continued her rant stating, "Guys nothing is for free, how much you making? "PS, btw you are just a bunch of middle age political groupies..."

Ouch! Osbourne stings, and doesn't let up there.

"Whose political ass are we going to pull you out of today? Or are you front row at another tragic fashion show... Jimmy Iovine, iTunes, U2, you're a bunch of megalomaniacs. F--k YOU!"

You don't know Mrs. Osbourne very well if you think she stopped her rans at "F--k YOU!"

"Here's how to say NO to @U2's new record that was forced upon you by @iTunes-#NoThankU2," she tweeted.

With Sharon's backlash we're not sure what artist dares to partner up with iTunes in the upcoming future. Let's wait and see what U2 themselves have to say about the negative feedback they're getting from music fans and celebrities.
