Reality television star Kylie Jenner is reportedly going to say goodbye to a hefty seven-figure deal with sportswear company Puma this week thanks to her brother-in-law Kanye West.
West jumped onto his Twitter page to bash Puma and announce Kylie’s loyalty to his brand last night (February 9).
Buzz behind Kylie’s major deal surfaced online earlier in the week.
The partnership will not be “full out like Rihanna’s collaboration,” the source says. But, they tell Us, a recent cryptic post, now deleted, of an excited puppy basking in the sun may have something to do with her feelings about the news. “Mood,” she captioned the mystery image via Instagram.

Jenner is widely known for donning Puma during various outings.
Her role will technically be as an “ambassador” — though not at the same level as Puma’s global brand ambassador Rihanna, thxvm, because she’ll just be wearing the clothes, not designing them (at least for now). While neither Kylie’s team nor Puma have officially confirmed the news, she has occasionally been spotted in staged-looking paparazzi photos wearing Puma (as well as in selfies), and hey, she did retweet a story on the subject this morning, so there you go.
