Why did Green Jellÿ fire Michael "Fr33to F33t" Snyder? Drama explained

Comedy rock band Green Jellÿ has officially parted ways with longtime member Michael "Fr33to F33t" Snyder. The firing comes after an alleged meme that mocked the late Ozzy Osbourne appeared on Green Jellÿ's official social media. It sparked fan outrage and drama.

Frontman Bill Manspeaker, the band's founding member, has notably been trying to do damage control as the group is preparing for the upcoming "Psycho Sideshow" tour this fall. On July 22, 2025, news broke that heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne had died in England following his farewell show with Black Sabbath. Hours later, a meme was posted on Green Jellÿ's official page, which featured a photoshopped image of Ozzy holding a sign that read, "One Day Sober."

Bill Manspeaker's complete statement on Snyder's firing

Manspeaker later mentioned that he removed the post as soon as he saw it and pointed the finger at Snyder, who had reportedly been helping manage Green Jellÿ's social media. Lamb Goat reports that in a Facebook post, Manspeaker announced Snyder's firing from Green Jellÿ and stated:

"Long story short…I allowed a green jello member control of my green jello page…He's been doing a excellent job posting funny memes for years…Recently Recently he posted a extremely rude video about Ozzy Dying that I found highly offensive & I immediately took it down…the guy lost his mind & instantly started to demonize me on Facebook…Now it's gotten beyond the point of non stop harassment…"

The post continued:

"All I have to say is this…for decades I have been traveling the world meeting fans & making them part of my life…this person has been participating in my band for over 10 years…Being my best buddy asking me to sign these 20 cds so he can sell them on line…He's maybe played 10 shows in 10 years and doesn't even plug in his bass when on stage…he just wants the selfie of him on stage…everything was fine until the moment I take down his distasteful meme about Ozzys death…

He spoke more about the backlash he has been receiving following the post,

"Now it's has turned into let's try to cancel out Bill Manspeaker & all the nice things he's ever done for people…This person decided to defame Ozzy with a terrible joke about his death on my green jello social media page & I removed it…Now all this hate is the result…ask yourself 1 thing who is the real issue…the guy who has no respect for a man's death and mocked Ozzy or the guy who immediately took it down because it was disrespectful…if I ever helped you out or spent a moment with you please post a nice comment about our times on the YouTube video…"

Manspeaker concluded the Facebook post, saying:

"Right now it's a complete sh*t show…I am home from tour enjoying time off with my family & now I gotta deal with this campaign of lies…Nobody should be treated this way because they took down a disgusting post about Ozzy…his name is Micheal Snyder he goes by Fr33to F33t you can find him on facebook & he's one of the extremely few that's been officially fired from green jello…"

According to messages and screenshots shared via the YouTube channel Staunch TV, the two Green Jellÿ bandmates argued in private before things escalated publicly. Manspeaker claims that Snyder turned hostile and began "demonizing" him online.

Notably, Green Jellÿ frontman Bill Manspeaker attempted to pay tribute to Ozzy Osbourne and recently deceased wrestler Hulk Hogan by posting an AI-generated image of the two together. That post was also criticized by fans and enthusiasts. It was eventually deleted. However, the AI post did not seem to cause as much drama as the original meme allegedly posted by Snyder.
