Oops! Ozzy Osbourne is sorry.
In an episode of "The Osbournes Podcast" released Tuesday, the Black Sabbath musician, 75, apologized to Britney Spears for mocking her dance videos — without entirely backing down from his criticism.
"Britney, I really owe you an apology," Osbourne said. "I'm so sorry for making a comment."
In a previous episode of the podcast, Osbourne said he was "fed up with seeing poor old Britney Spears on YouTube," adding that it's "very, very sad."
Spears, who often shares videos of herself dancing on social media, subsequently slammed the Osbournes on Instagram, calling them the "most boring family known to mankind."

"I personally believe that being vulnerable enough to ask someone for inspiration or help is incredibly beautiful … but ironically in the world we live in with how incredibly cruel people can be you have to be extremely careful who you allow in your circle and your heart," she also wrote.
Britney Spears speaks out:Pop star slams Ozzy Osbourne, family for mocking her dance videos as 'sad'
More than 20 minutes into the latest "Osbournes" podcast, Kelly Osbourne suddenly brought up this controversy and suggested the family apologize to the pop star. Although Ozzy Osbourne did so, he still threw in some feedback on Spears' dance videos.
"It would be better if you didn't do the same (expletive) dance every day, every day," he told the "Baby One More Time" singer. "Change a few movements."
For her part, Kelly Osbourne told Spears that she should "never stop dancing," adding, "I love your dancing. It makes you happy, and I'm so sorry if any of us offended you." After Sharon Osbourne chimed in that she likes Spears "a lot," Ozzy Osbourne said he also loves the singer, while doubling down on his critique.

Britney Spears walks back alleged Halsey criticism
Spears recently made headlines for another back-and-forth with a famous musician.
After Halsey released a music video for her song "Lucky," which interpolates Spears' 2000 track of the same name, Spears posted a statement saying she was "very upset." But she subsequently deleted this statement and said she didn't write it.
"Fake news !!!" Spears wrote in a July 26 X post. "That was not me on my phone !!! I love Halsey and that’s why I deleted it 🌹 !!!"
Halsey previously said she got Spears' approval for the song's release, as she "wouldn't even dream of doing it without her blessing!"
