Jenners stumble with T-shirt sales
Kylie and Kendall Jenner, the daughters of Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner and gold-medal Olympian Caitlyn Jenner, debuted vintage T-shirts in their Kendall + Kylie online store Wednesday and quickly realized they might have made a mistake.
The vintage shirts featured graphics of the Jenners stamped onto images of iconic musicians such as the late rappers Tupac Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G.
But by late Thursday morning, as a backlash was brewing, the vintage shirts, which were retailing for $125 a pop, were removed from the site, along with tweets made by Kendall and Kylie.
Not everyone was eager to open their pocketbooks for the Jenners.
Voletta Wallace, mother of slain rapper Christopher “Notorious B.I.G.” Wallace, stated on Instagram Thursday that Biggie’s estate had not authorized the use of his likeness on the pricey Tshirts.
“I have no idea why they feel they can exploit the deaths of 2pac and my Son Christopher to sell a Tshirt,” Wallace said in her post.
