The photographer, Michael Miller said that Kendall and Kylie Jenner wrongfully and misappropriated exploited his work which is the Tupac images. His lawyer also added that his client was able to register his work at the U.S. Office of Copyright.
The photographer also added that Kendall and Kylie's intentions to exploit his works and photography were slammed since the sisters did not even attempt to obtain his authorization or his permission.
