Kendall and Kylie Jenner are always lucky when it comes to their business ventures since they are part of the highly lucrative Kardashian/Jenner clan. However, the new designs for their fashion line garnered a lot of hate than love. Now, the famous sisters are apologizing for their “disgusting” and “disrespectful” T-Shirt designs.
Kendall and Kylie Jenner’s team may have initially thought that merging the reality stars’ photos with iconic images of music icons was such a cool concept. Unfortunately, most people are more upset than impressed with the idea.
Kendall and Kylie slammed by rapper's mom over their t-shirt line
One of the designs showed Kendall Jenner’s face slapped over Notorious B.I.G.’s image and the late rapper’s mom is not too happy about it. Voletta Wallace took to social media to share her anger towards the "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" stars.
“I have no idea why they feel they can exploit the deaths of 2pac [Tupac Shakur] and my Son Christopher [Notorious B.I.G. aka Biggie Smalls] to sell a t-shirt,” she ranted in an Instagram post. “This is disrespectful, disgusting, and exploitation at its worst!!!”
Tupac Shakur (Lesane Parish Crooks) and Notorious B.I.G. (Christopher George Latore Wallace) were once the kings of rap music.
Both stars had promising careers but their lives were cut short when they were fatally shot in the late 1990s. Their cause of deaths were labeled as Homicide and many were convinced that it was a result of a hidden gang war.
Sharon Osbourne also reacted on the Kendall and Kylie Jenner’s new shirt collection. The TV host suggested that the reality stars should just stick to the things that they know best — beauty products.
Her husband, Ozzy Osbourne, was also included in the controversial line.
Kendall and Kylie decided to pull the shirts out from fashion line
Meanwhile, the camp of Kendall and Kylie Jenner quickly pulled out all of their modified band t-shirts from the collection after learning the negative reactions. Both sisters then took to social media to apologize and admitted that their designs “were not well thought out.” The famous siblings then noted that it was never their intention to hurt anybody at all.

This is certainly not the first time that a family member of the Kardashian/Jenner clan faced a controversy over a product. Kendall Jenner was previously slammed for taking a part on a Pepsi commercial that was eventually pulled out as well.
