The Internet is NOT amused.
Yesterday, Kylie and Kendall Jenner dropped a collection of vintage inspired tees. Sounds harmless, right? Sold for $125 each under their famed Kylie + Kendall label, the Jenner sisters certainly didn’t expect the reaction they got from their fans — and from their NOT-so-fans.
The collection featured T-shirts with the duo’s faces superimposed over music legends like Pink Floyd, Metallica and The Doors. Other garments saw Kylie Jenner posing in a pool, her body superimposed over a photo of Tupac, or a Kendall portrait on top of an image of Notorious B.I.G. As you may guess, it’s the two latter styles that sent Internet users into something of a violent rage.

While it may not have seemed like a big deal to the Jenners at the time, the duo quickly changed their tune and the collection was swiftly removed from their webstore. The backlash intensified as news reached the ears of Biggie’s mother, Voletta Wallace, who took to Instagram to describe the collection as being “disrespectful, disgusting and exploitation at its worst”.
