Earlier today, news broke that Notorious B.I.G.'s mom is furious at Kendall and Kylie Jenner for using her son's likeness on their t-shirts, and now it looks like they've upset another music icon for the same thing.

In a tweet, Sharon Osbourne shared a photo of one of the girls' shirts that features her husband, heavy metal godfather Ozzy Osbourne along with a picture of Kendall.

She wrote, "Girls, you haven't earned the right to put your face with musical icons. Stick to what you know…lip gloss."

Some people agreed with her, as one user said, "There's this thing called intellectual property that they don't ever understand. No, you can't use someone's likeness without permission."

Still, others defended the Jenners, with one fan writing, "Sharon you're just a hater! Anyone with an interest in music / fashion can put their own face on a t-shirt," and then adding, "Leave Kendall & Kylie alone!"

As previously mentioned, the mother of hip-hop icon Notorious B.I.G., is also taking Kendall And Kylie to task for using her son's image to sell their products.

Voletta Wallace posted a photo to her Instagram account that showed a t-shirt from the Jenner sisters clothing line which featured her son along with a prominent picture of Kendall.

The shirt has a large red X across it and verbiage in the picture that read, "This product has no affiliation to the Notorious B.I.G estate."

It continued, "The estate was never contacted about using The Likeness of Biggie."

In her comment on the post, Wallace wrote, "I am not sure who told @kyliejenner and @kendalljenner that they had the right to do this. The disrespect of these girls to not even reach out to me or anyone connected to the estate baffles me."

The fact that she tagged their Instagram handles shows that she wants them to know she is furious about their actions.

Her comment continued, "I have no idea why they feel they can exploit the deaths of 2pac and my Son Christopher to sell a t-shirt. This is disrespectful , disgusting, and exploitation at its worst!!!"

No word on the current status of the Ozzy shirt, but the Biggie shirt, as well as other designs similar to it featuring Tupac, are no longer available to purchase, but it was not immediately clear if that was due to them being pulled over the controversy, or them selling out.

At this time, Kendall and Kylie have not released a statement regarding either situation.
