Yesterday, the sisters unveiled a limited-edition collection of "vintage" band t-shirts, retailing for $125 each. Aside from the surprisingly high price tag, the problem with the shirts is that the Jenners' faces, Instagrams and brand logo are superimposed over the artists' original album art. The artists that Kendall and Kylie plastered their own faces over include the late Tupac and Biggie along with rock bands Metallica, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and The Doors.

One t-shirt features a giant screenshot of one of Kylie's Instagram posts superimposed over a photo of Tupac.
On Twitter, people were quick to call out the shirt designs, specifically the rap tees, for appropriating black culture and disrespecting the legacies of Tupac and Biggie.

Neither Kendall nor Kylie has responded to the controversy at this time but an Instagram of the shirts posted by Kendall yesterday has since been deleted. Photos posted on the brand account, however, are still live.
