Michael Rapaport, actor and podcaster, doesn’t like the Kardashians. He especially doesn’t like it when they put photos of themselves on T-shirts alongside musical icons like KISS, Ozzy Osbourne, Biggie Smalls and Tupac.
So he made a shirt design of his own.

Rapaport expressed his disdain for Kendall and Kylie Jenner’s T-shirts on Twitter before even announcing his shirts were for sale. The pair were raked over the coals for the design that featured images of deceased rappers Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls.

The Jenners apologized for the shirts and said they would no longer be sold after the collective internet freak out.
“These designs were not well thought out and we deeply apologize to anyone that has been upset and/or offended, especially to the families of the artists,” the sisters posted on social media. “We are huge fans of their music and it was not our intention to disrespect these cultural icons in anyway [sic]. The tee shirts have been pulled from retail and all images have been removed.”
The apology didn’t sway Rapaport at all, who went on a rant later (NSFW language at the link).
