Kendall and Kylie Jenner are once again at the center of controversy. This time the youngest siblings of the Kardashian/Jenner clan are facing a major backlash and a possible lawsuit for defacing iconic images of rappers and rock-stars for their new line of T-Shirts. Just one of the controversial images plastered on a T-shirts is a close-up shot of Kendall spotting hoop ear-rings with an image of late rapper, The Notorious Big behind her, which led the rappers mom to express her distaste for the clothing line.....stating that she was never contacted about using her son's likeness and led to the star's estate to reportedly threatened legal actions......

Late rappers, Christopher Wallace aka Notorious Big and Tupac Shakur aka Pac
The estate's lawyer, Julia K Petty reportedly sent the Jenner sisters a 'cease and desist' letter with a Friday deadline to pull the controversial T-Shirts, claiming that the estate never granted the reality stars permission to use Biggie's image....
"This is misappropriation at its finest, I'm curious to hear the justification. I'm even more curious to hear the proposed resolution.".....Petty tells TMZ
Voletta Wallace(Biggie's mom)
Biggie's T-shirts plus two additional T-shirts featuring Tupac Shakur has since disappeared from the Jenner's website. Meanwhile Biggie's mom, Voletta Wallace slammed the sisters for the disrespect they showed the family of the late Hip Hop greats....
The Pac T-shirt featured a scantily clad Instagram post of Kylie Jenner laid over an image of Tupac with "1996", the year of his death written on the bottom. Another design shows off the Kendell+Kylie logo atop a photo of Tupac Shakur with the line "Only God Can Judge me". Other artist features on the T-shirt line are Pink Floyd, Metallica, Ozzy Osborn and Led Zeppelin....All the shirts have since been removed fro their site.....
It is unclear if the sisters obtained permission from any of the other stars.
Music fans took to twitter to chastise the reality TV stars for their disrespectful take on some of the world's most iconic artists.....
"Don't ever disrespect Tupac by putting your face on him. He's a legend. You're temporary,"...One user wrote.
Another added..... "The doors didn't make a name for themselves to have kendall Jenner put her face on their merch."
Really girls? What were you guys thinking? These are all music legends for crying out loud. This is just down right disrespectful and y'all need to fix this ASAP...Mchewwwww
