Kylie and Kendall Jenner are in hot water again for appropriating Black culture. The two sisters recently launched their new ‘vintage’ T-shirt line that includes shirts with their personal Instagram post plastered on top of legendary artists’ like Tupac and Biggie and bands’ album covers and faces.

Kendall and Kylie can have a vintage T-shirt line, ain’t knocking the hustle. But them bitches need to stay the FUCK away from Tupac.

Y'all really had the nerve to put Bruno in the appropriation box when you have Kendall & Kylie selling Pac shirts with their initials on it?

The disrespect would probably wane if they could stop being so thirsty. Attention seeking.

While the Kendall + Kylie line has received a great amount of backlash, the site is nearly sold out with two shirts only having a few left in stock. Not surprisingly however, the Jenner clan may not have cleared use of the photos with the respective estates. Biggie’s mother Voletta Wallace has made that much known with this scathing Instagram post.
