Kendall Jenner, 21, and Kylie Jenner, 19,  had to apologised on Thursday after causing an social media backlash for selling T-shirts featuring their faces over images of famed music groups and artists including The Doors, Pink Floyd, Ozzy Osbourne and slain rappers Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G. In a statement Kendall and Kylie Jenner said they had withdrawn their US$125 T-shirt line from sale a day after it was launched.

They further stated "These designs were not well thought out and we deeply apologise to anyone that has been upset and/or offended, especially to the families of the artists," They also added "We are huge fans of their music and it was not our intention to disrespect these cultural icons in anyway," 

However Sharon Osbourne, the wife of Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne, wrote on Twitter "Girls, you haven't earned the right to put your face with musical icons. Stick to what you know … lip gloss,"

Violetta Wallace, the mother of Notorious B.I.G, accused the sisters of exploitation and said no one had contacted the rapper's estate for permission. She stated in instagram "This is disrespectful, disgusting, and exploitation at its worst!!!". Notorious B.I.G, also known as Biggie Smalls or Christopher Wallace, was killed in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles in 1997.
