Jenner Sisters Pull Tupac and Biggie T-Shirts After Backlash

Their own faces superimposed over Tupac and Biggie: Following sharp backlash and legal threats, Kendall and Kylie Jenner pull their T-shirt line.

$125 for a T-shirt on which their own faces were superimposed over photos of musicians such as Tupac, The Notorious B.I.G., and Ozzy Osbourne: In late June 2017, sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner’s brand Kendall + Kylie offered these pieces. Voletta Wallace, Biggie’s mother, called this “disrespectful, disgusting” and “exploitation at its worst” on Instagram. A lawyer for Biggie’s estate threatened legal action. The Guardian reported on June 29 that the line was subsequently pulled.

On July 7, photographer Michael Miller filed a copyright lawsuit: his photos of Tupac had allegedly been used on the shirts without permission. The case was not settled until April 2018 (see case settled).
