PHOTO: Kardashian and Jenner sisters apologize for using faces of Biggie and Tupac on their designs

-


After facing a huge backlash on social media by using the faces of top celebrities on their new clothing line...especially that of late rapper, Notorious BIG and Tupac; the Kardashian and Jenner sisters have issued an apologize...

 They issued an apology for the childish step taken by them and designers that has attracted alot of bad comment from fans and celebrities around the world...even Biggie’s Mother Voletta Wallace!  
 Kendall on her social media wrote:

"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," the statement read. "We are huge fans of their music and it was not our intention to disrespect these cultural icons in anyway. Thee 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."


Biggie’s mother Voletta Wallace  reacting to the steps taken and not taken by the Kardashian/Jenner girls, wrote:

"I am not sure who told @kyliejenner and @kendalljenner that they had the right to do this," Wallace wrote  alongside a photo of a shirt on Instagram. "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!!!"

Ozzy Sharon on her part hit the girls hard, saying:

"Girls, you haven't earned the right to put your face with musical icons...Stick to what you know…lip gloss."

Seems the Jenner siblings are following in the foot step of their big sister Kim, as she too came under huge criticism after doing a similar thing using a blackface...and was quick to apologize for that...see her apology:

"I would obviously never want to offend anyone. I used an amazing photographer and a team of people. I was really tan when we shot the images, and it might be that the contrast was off. But I showed the image to many people, to many in the business. No one brought that to our attention. No one mentioned it."

"Of course, I have the utmost respect for why people might feel the way they did. But we made the necessary changes to that photo and the rest of the photos. We saw the problem, and we adapted and changed right away...I have learned from it."

...in all of this, you will be thinking, they should have known better...I mean is Kanye West not there to guide them? Or they thought because they are all dating black men (excusing Scott...even mama Kris...lol) they now have rights over black history and properties...mehn! isn’t that stealing...lol
