Kendall and Kylie Jenner Apologize for Using Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac's Faces to Sell T-Shirts


Kendall and Kylie Jenner issued an apology following backlash over controversial T-shirts featuring their faces over images of rappers Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac.

The entrepreneurial sisters drew criticism from social media and Notorious B.I.G.’s mother Voletta Wallace, who called the shirts “disrespectful, disgusting, and exploitation at its worst.”
“These designs were not well thought out and we deeply apologize to anyone that has been upset and/or offended, especially to the families of the artists,” Kylie wrote on Twitter. “We are huge fans of their music and it was not our intention to disrespect these cultural icons in any way. The tee shirts have been pulled from retail and all images have been removed. We will use this as an opportunity to learn from these mistakes and again, we are very sorry.”
