Sharon Osbourne reignited her feud with Kylie and Kendall Jenner for exploiting Ozzy's legacy over their 2017 t-shirt without permission

Sharon Osbourne has slammed Kendall and Kylie Jenner for what she believes was an outrageous attempt to profit off her late husband Ozzy Osbourne's legacy. After the legendary rocker’s recent passing, the old drama has resurfaced online, reigniting the 2017 controversy where the Jenner sisters tried to sell vintage-style band t-shirts.



The shirts in question featured the sisters’ faces overlaid on top of iconic images of music legends like Ozzy Osbourne, Tupac Shakur, and The Notorious B.I.G. This tone-deaf move sparked major backlash, especially from the families of the artists involved.



Following the intense criticism, Kendall Jenner issued a public apology, admitting the designs were "not well thought out." She said the sisters never intended to offend anyone and confirmed that the shirts were pulled from stores and all associated imagery was removed.



Voletta Wallace, mother of The Notorious B.I.G., also took a strong stand against the Jenner sisters. She said the girls never sought permission to use the images and labelled the move as "disrespectful, disgusting, and exploitation at its worst."


According to her, it was baffling that the Kardashians would exploit the deaths of musical greats for fashion, calling them out publicly and threatening legal action.


The t-shirts were pulled from the market almost immediately after the storm erupted. Each had been selling for a hefty $125, only further fuelling accusations of profiting off the legacy of beloved artists.

While Kendall and Kylie claimed they were just fans, Sharon and the music community saw it differently, as an opportunistic cash grab wrapped in pop culture gloss.
