Reality TV star Kim Kardashian has sent a 'cease and desist' notice to musician duo Martin and Dev who have used a photograph of her bare breasts on their album cover.

The 30-year-old star was stunned when she saw the image of herself, taken from W magazine, used on the cover of 'Terrace Martin and Devi Dev Present: The Sex EP'.

Kardashian's lawyers then sent a cease and desist letter to the musicians asking them to take the picture off the album cover, reported TMZ online.

"We cannot imagine why you thought you had the right to use this photograph without permission," stated the letter.

But Dev, the band's female vocalist said that they had no idea they were using Kardashian's picture, as the photograph did not have a face.

Kardashian had posed naked for a spread in W magazine and the images have been a source of problems for the reality TV star.

Kardashian was seen breaking down in tears after being shown the finished design for the cover on her reality show 'Kourtney & Kim Take New York'.

"I was told this artist will put images of architecture and buildings and stuff on top of me so you will see my body shape and the outline. But I'm more naked here than I was in my Playboy," Kardashian was seen telling her mother Kris Jenner.
