GREEN JELLŸ Fire Member Over “Disgusting” Ozzy Osbourne Meme, Announce Fall Tour With 96 Bitter Beings & More

Green Jellÿ have become the subject of controversy following the firing of band member Micheal “Fr33to F33t” Snyder over a disrespectful meme shared shortly after the death of Ozzy Osbourne. The meme, which appeared on the band’s social media shortly after Ozzy’s July 22nd passing, featured a photoshopped image of the late metal icon holding a sign that read “One Day Sober.” It was quickly met with backlash.

Band founder Bill Manspeaker claimed he took the meme down immediately after discovering it, calling it “extremely rude.” However, tensions escalated after he posted a follow-up image tribute — seemingly AI-generated — featuring both Ozzy Osbourne and recently deceased pro wrestler Hulk Hogan, which further inflamed discussion online.

Screenshots of internal messages began circulating, with Manspeaker initially defending Snyder before ultimately claiming Snyder began harassing him and spreading misinformation. In a public statement, Manspeaker explained:

“He’s been doing an excellent job posting funny memes for years… but recently he posted a highly offensive video about Ozzy dying. I immediately took it down. Now he’s demonizing me and harassing me nonstop.”

Manspeaker also accused Snyder of being minimally involved in the band’s performances over the past decade and described him as someone more interested in appearances than contributing musically.

“He’s maybe played 10 shows in 10 years and doesn’t even plug in his bass… Everything was fine until I took down the disrespectful meme.”

He closed his statement by encouraging fans who’ve had positive experiences with him to speak up:

“Nobody should be treated this way for taking down a disgusting post about Ozzy.”

The controversy comes as Green Jellÿ prepare to headline the 2025 ‘Psycho Sideshow’ tour this fall alongside 96 Bitter Beings (ex-CKY), The Convalescence, The Bunny The Bear, and Ignominious. Local openers are expected to join the bill in each city.
