As the sun rose on June 17, 1973, in Cleveland, Ohio, another star was born—Anthony Henderson, known as Krayzie Bone. In the epicenter of a city pulsing with a diverse cultural blend, Krayzie found his feet and voice in the evocative corridors of blues, gospel, and burgeoning hip-hop. His childhood was steeped in a cacophony of sounds and struggles, all funneled through the lens of an artist in the making.
With each heartbeat of the city, the future rapper, entrepreneur, and luminary found a rhythm, adopting the moniker Krayzie Bone and channeling his persona into the rap collective known as Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. Thus began an odyssey that defied the norms of his locale and era. It's worth noting that by 2023, Krayzie Bone’s amalgamation of endeavors had culminated in an estimated net worth of $6 million, as reported by Allfamousbirthday.
The layered tapestry of Krayzie Bone's artistic endeavors is nothing short of kaleidoscopic. As part of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Krayzie hit pay dirt with the 1995 album E. 1999 Eternal. The ensemble went from neighborhood celebrities to national icons, propelled by tracks that broke sonic barriers and defied genre classifications. But let's not overlook his solo works—the 1999 album Thug Mentality 1999 is a cathedral of sound, a dual-disc anthology offering a panoramic view of Krayzie's multi-faceted persona. And then came his collaborative work with the likes of Chamillionaire, Ice Cube, and Mariah Carey, each joint endeavor serving as a milestone in an ever-evolving career.
While the spotlight often focuses on Krayzie Bone's music, the man is more than his discography; he's an entrepreneur par excellence. For those intrigued by intoxicating aromas, Krayzie has a line of vaping products that bear his iconic branding. And let’s not disregard his media endeavors; the man co-hosts a podcast called Chasing The Devil, an auditory feast where conversations are as vivid as his lyrics. It's a conglomerate of investments, media engagements, and business ventures that bring multiple revenue streams into the Krayzie empire.
Though shrouded in the sort of enigma one would expect from a rap legend, Krayzie Bone’s personal life is a patchwork of the very experiences that color his lyrics. Fatherhood, marriage, and a foray into the spiritual space have all contributed to the intricate jigsaw that is Krayzie Bone. Though he keeps these cards close to his vest, the glimpses he offers through his music and interviews construct a persona layered in complexity and cloaked in authenticity.
To characterize Krayzie Bone merely as a rapper or a part of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony would be to grossly undervalue a man who is an orchestra of talent, ambition, and enterprise. His net worth of $6 million offers a financial reflection of this. Yet, the dollars and cents are but a byproduct of a journey marked by grit, ingenuity, and a ceaseless desire to evolve. The legacy he's building transcends any numerical evaluation, evolving into something richer and more enduring with each passing verse and venture.

Sharon Osbourne has revealed she is holding early discussions about bringing Ozzfest back in 2027 as a tribute to her late husband Ozzy Osbourne.
The iconic metal festival was last staged as a full standalone event in 2018, followed by a one off New Year’s Eve show in 2019. Sharon now feels interest in a proper return is stronger than ever and says initial talks are already underway with Live Nation. Her vision is for a comeback that is larger in scale, more inclusive in sound and truly international in reach.
Speaking to Billboard, she said: “It was something Ozzy was very passionate about: giving young talent a stage in front of a lot of people. We really started metal festivals in this country. It was [replicated but] never done with the spirit of what ours was, because ours was a place for new talent. It was like summer camp for kids.”
Sharon has also made it clear she wants the festival to grow with its audience, suggesting the next version of Ozzfest could reflect modern listening habits by opening the door to a wider range of sounds beyond traditional metal.
She later added: “I’d like to mix up the genres.”
Should the plans come together, Ozzfest would once again travel internationally, recalling its late nineties and early two thousands peak when it became both a launching pad for emerging bands and a major platform for established heavy acts.
In an earlier episode of The Osbournes Podcast, Ozzy, who died in July 2025 aged 76, asked whether the festival could ever return. Sharon responded without hesitation: "Yeah, sure. Of course."
Their daughter Kelly then raised the issue of rising booking fees, suggesting that managers need to be more realistic when negotiating festival appearances.
Sharon responded: "Why is it when it comes to us that everybody thinks that we are trillionaires, and so that every manager who wants their band on our festival wants one of the trillions they think we’ve got to put on the festival?”
Ozzfest was originally founded by Ozzy and Sharon in 1996, at a time when she was also managing the Black Sabbath frontman, and began life as a two day event.
A year later, the festival expanded into a touring format, although by the time it returned in 2018 it had been scaled back to a single night at The Forum in Inglewood, California.
That final edition featured Ozzy at the top of the bill alongside artists such as Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson and Korn’s Jonathan Davis.
