Music legends and their inner circles are not going to be taken advantage of by two barely post-pubescent reality stars.
Kendall and Kylie Jenner have been forced to apologize after they were lambasted by social media for their latest narsicistic product line.
The pair released a series of vintage t-shirts of some of the world’s biggest music stars with their own images superimposed on top of them, setting the Internet, and some of those close to the stars, on fire.
“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,” they wrote on their Twitter pages.
“We are huge fans of their music and it was not our intention to disrespect these cultural icons in any way,” they added.
“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.”
The shirts featured classic designs from acts such as Biggie Smalls, Tupac Shakur, Kiss, The Doors, Metallica and Ozzy Osbourne.
Osbourne’s wife Sharon was among those who lashed out at the sisters of Kim Kardashian.
“Girls, you haven’t earned the right to put your face with musical icons. Stick to what you know…lip gloss,” she wrote on Twitter.
Greta Van Susteren fired from MSNBC, and the way it went down was absolutely brutal

Osbourne’s daughter Kelly did a switch around and superimposed her own picture over the Jenner girls, giving them the finger.
Mother of Biggie Smalls, whose real name was Christopher Wallace, used her Instagam to make it known that the products were not affiliated with her son or his estate.
“The disrespect of these girls to not even reach out to me or anyone connected to the estate baffles me. I have no idea why they feel they can exploit the deaths of 2pac and my Son Christopher to sell a t-shirt. This is disrespectful, disgusting, and exploitation at its worst!!!”
Paris Jackson, the daughter of Michael Jackson, also took aim at the sisters.
as a huge fan of zeppelin, the doors, floyd.. i mean these bands literally helped shape who i am today. i can’t condone this “fashion.”

legends like these who completely changed our world today, not just the music world, should be respected and honored. not turned into this.

pink floyd is not chanel. led zeppelin is not michael kors. metallica is not givenchy. don’t get it twisted. #bandsnotbrands #RESPECTMUSIC

Those famous names were far from the only people outraged by the theft of the music stars’ images.
If you’re a Black person who still has time for Kendall and Kylie Jenner (or any of their family), you’ve got worse issues than they do.

Why would Kendall and Kylie Jenner think they could just plaster their faces and initials over Biggie and Pac? pic.twitter.com/Mh0yZWKzxw

How much backlash do Kendall and Kylie Jenner have to get before they stop appropriating black culture? pic.twitter.com/iN9y7thscW

Kendall and Kylie crossed the line with those vintage tees. How dare you disrespect black rap legends like that.
— Cam Barnes (@Felicias_Son) June 29, 2017
Ok, we get it. It was dumb. But did everyone miss the fact that they “appropriated more “white” bands than they did black artists?
If you didn’t see Maria Bartiromo completely unnerve Podesta over Russia ties, you’re missing out
who do kendall and kylie jenner think they are exploiting the death of jim morrison for the sake of their shit clothing range ?
