Trick Daddy was one of them, as the Miami native told HotNewHipHop he was grateful to Ozzy for permitting him to sample Crazy Train in one of his songs.

"The iconic legend will be truly missed, especially by me -- a young, Black man out of the ghetto of Miami -- by giving the clearance to sample his 'Crazy Train' masterpiece!" he said.

Per the media outlet, Trick Daddy sampled Osbourne's Crazy Train in his 2004 song, Let's Go, featuring Lil Jon and Twista. The track was included in the rapper's sixth studio album, Thug Matrimony: Married to the Streets.

Meanwhile, Ozzy's Crazy Train was part of his first solo album, Blizzard of Ozz, which dropped in 1980, a year after the vocalist was fired from his rock band, Black Sabbath.

Besides Trick Daddy, many other artists paid their tributes to Ozzy Osbourne this week. One of them was Yungblud, who attended Ozzy's Black Sabbath fundraiser show earlier this month. He wrote in the caption of his Instagram post:

"I will never forget you - you will be in every single note I sing and with me every single time I walk on stage. Your cross around my neck is the most precious thing I own. You asked me once if there was anything you could do for me and as I said then and as I will say now for all of us the music was enough. You took us on your adventure - an adventure that started it all."
