Kendall Jenner is coughing up an apology once again. After her disastrous Pepsi ad earlier this year, the model is asking forgiveness for yet another epic misstep. Kendall and her sister Kylie Jenner released a line of T-shirts via their online shop Wednesday, which featured their faces superimposed over images of Biggie Smalls, Tupac Shakur, and Black Sabbath, just to name a few. The vintage T’s immediately infuriated fans and relatives of the deceased (and not deceased) musicians, who are slamming the sisters for their “disrespectful” designs.
Biggie’s mother Voletta Wallace shared a picture of one of the t-shirts on her Instagram, captioning it, “I am not sure who told @kyliejenner and @kendalljenner that they had the right to do this. The disrespect of these girls to not even reach out to me or anyone connected to the estate baffles me.”
Voletta condemned the designs, writing, “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!!!”
Sharon Osbourne was not pleased either. “Girls, you haven’t earned the right to put your face with musical icons. Stick to what you know…lip gloss,” Sharon wrote beneath a t-shirt featuring Kendall’s face over her husband Ozzy Osbourne’s.

Feeling the heat, Kendall issued a statement on Twitter, admitting, “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.”
Kendall revealed that all t-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,” she wrote.
