ROB Kardashian has been slammed by fans for selling face masks branded with his clothing line name “Halfway Dead” printed on the front.

The KUWTK star, 33, was called out for attempting to cash in on the coronavirus pandemic by flogging the masks for $30 on Instagram.

Alongside a photo of the mask, Rob and the team at Halfway Dead tried to advise Instagram users to follow the CDC‘s advice on face coverings.

The caption read: “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is now advising Americans to voluntarily wear a basic cloth or fabric face mask when they go out to help curb the spread of the coronavirus. Businesses will also be authorized to deny entry to customers who aren’t wearing face coverings.

“The CDC advises that due to the shortage of medical masks that the N95 masks should be reserved for hospitals. HWD will be donating proceeds to @localheartsfoundation to help with workers on the front lines of this pandemic and provide free masks to the less fortunate. We hope everyone is Staying home and staying safe. If you step out please wear a face covering.”

Despite the useful guidance, fans were quick to criticize the reality star.

According to Sound Health and Lasting Wealth, one said: “Kinda inappropriate name for the masks.”

Another wrote: “Idk about that name right on front of the mask. Looks like an alert that you have the coronavirus.”

A third asked: “Why his name?”

It comes weeks after sister Kylie Jenner donated $1million to coronavirus relief efforts.

Dr. Thais Aliabadi, who delivered the makeup mogul’s daughter Stormi, called the star a “living angel” for her contribution.

Dr. Thais Aliabadi posted on Instagram: “I am speechless, my eyes are filled with tears of joy and my heart is overwhelmed with gratitude.”
