Yeezy finally admitted last February 17, that he was upset about his sister – in – law Kylie Jenner‘s deal with Puma. Kanye West ranted about the deal in his Twitter, after US Weekly exclusively dished out that yep, Kylie has agreed to a seven – figure contract with the sports brand.
Kanye West On Kylie Jenner’s Puma Deal: Yes, ‘I Was Mad for a Little Bit’
Kanye West Was Initially Upset With Kylie’s Agreement With Puma
West was spotted as he touched down at LAX on Wednesday after his Yeezy 3 debut at New York Fashion Week, and was surprisingly happy to see paps waiting on him. He answered TMZ’s questions on Kylie’s deal and his $53 million debt!
On Wednesday, West told TMZ:
“She already signed, and I was mad for a little bit. I’m really happy for her, though.”
The “Famous” rapper expressed his reactions on Twitter about the partnership of the youngest Jenner with the athletic wear company. At that time he wrote:
1000% there will never be a Kylie Puma anything. That’s on my family! 1000% Kylie is on Yeezy team!!!

The hip-hop star came to a point of using Kim Kardashians‘s ugly cry face emoji beside the Puma logo. Sadly, the deal had been done for Kylie Jenner.
Puma has made a statement just this week confirming its upcoming partnership with the lip kit queen. The brand’s global marketing director Adam Petrick dished:
“I am pleased and excited to be able to confirm that Puma is indeed working with Kylie Jenner. Kylie will be featured in the brand’s Spring/Summer women’s training campaign launching in April 2016. Kylie represents a fresh and exciting new era for fashion and we couldn’t think of a more fitting and influential female to headline this campaign for Puma.”
As for his $53 million debt he has recently disclosed, Yeezy told reporters:
“I spent $53 million over the past 13 years chasing my dreams, and I wanted to make sure that all entrepreneurs in America knew that it’s possible to go under and still make it out.”
He further shared at LAX, “With my shoes, I know that I’m gonna make it a better way. There’s times where it was definitely really hard. There’s times were it was a struggle. There’s times where it was frustrating because if you make the Yeezys, maybe somebody will come and support you. It felt like, if you’re a dope artist, maybe someone will support you. And that didn’t happen. The only company that ever supported me was Adidas. … I just appreciate Adidas for helping me.”
Seems like nothing’s gonna stop the rapper from pursuing his ideas! “Point fingers and laugh, whatever y’all are gonna do at this story and moment in time, but y’all can look at me and feel my energy.”
ICYMI, here’s what Kanye has created with Adidas: Yeezy Boost!
