People Are Dragging Kendall & Kylie Jenner For Ripping Off Artists For New T-Shirt Line

Kendall and Kylie Jenner are under fire on social media for their new t-shirt line. The two youngest of the Kardashian and Jenner family have been in the clothing business for some time now, partnering up with stores such as PacSun. But, they are releasing a new line of “vintage t-shirts” with their own, personal twist on them.

While it sounds like a great idea in theory – fans and others on social media are angry and shocked at the design of these shirts – and, also, the price.

So – where’s the problem?

The t-shirts cost $125 each. That’s right, over $100 for a f*cking t-shirt.

On top of this, the girls have decided to take famous logos and musicians – because band t-shirts are making their way into pop-culture again (f*ck all of you, I’ve been wearing Zeppelin tees before Gigi Hadid was) – and they have put photos of themselves over them.

Like so:

I have to agree with everyone else – this is wildly disrespectful and a rip off. These two are basically riding on the coat tails of successful and talented musicians to make money and that, I am not okay with. I also would never buy something with Kylie Jenner’s ass on it.

People are not only accusing them of ripping off artists they have nothing to do with, but also accusing them of cultural appropriation, because they’ve put their Instagram photos on top of people such as Tupac and Biggie Smalls – influential and famous black rappers.

Twitter has been raging over this new launch – calling it completely disrespectful.
