AceShowbiz - Kylie Jenner does have a deal with PUMA despite his brother-in-law Kanye West's faith that she is in "Yeezy" team. The 18-year-old reality show star will be fronting the sportswear company's spring/summer 2016 campaign after signing a reported million dollar deal.
"I am pleased and excited to be able to confirm that PUMA is indeed working with Kylie Jenner," Adam Petrick, Global Director of Brand and Marketing for PUMA, told E! News in a statement Wednesday, February 17. "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."
This should be an embarrassment for West who believed that his wife's baby sister would not sign with the company. "1000|percent| there will never be a Kylie Puma anything. That's on my family! 1000|percent| Kylie is on Yeezy team!!!" he tweeted last week as reports of Jenner's involvement with PUMA surfaced.
A back story from TMZ alleged that by the time West was ranting about the PUMA deal, a contract was already signed. "Kanye was initially angry, but he spoke with Kylie and she explained she got a 'carve out,' and PUMA agreed to let her wear Adidas in addition to PUMA," the site reported. Jenner also told West that she would be sued if she backed out of the deal and that her partnership with PUMA was only for 6 months.
Jenner was indeed spotted wearing Adidas shoes on the day PUMA announced their deal. It was reportedly a show of support for West who has been creating Yeezy Boost line for Adidas.
