Despite her brother-in-law's best efforts, Kylie Jenner has finalized her endorsement deal with Puma.
According to Complex, rumors of the seven-figure deal started to circulate about a week ago, and Kanye West, husband of Kylie's half-sister Kim Kardashian, was not a fan. The rapper, who has his own deal with Adidas tweeted his thoughts about it:
1000% there will never be a Kylie Puma anything. That's on my family! 1000% Kylie is on Yeezy team!!!

Puma we gone give you your measly million dollars back!!! Never try to divide the family!!!

Though Kanye was very clear about how he felt, it seems he doesn't have the authority to speak for Kylie. According to Sneaker Bar Detroit, Puma made the following statement about the 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, said in a statement. "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."
According to TMZ, though Kylie has signed a deal with Puma, she is still able to rock her Adidas Yeezys. Also, the deal is for six months only. Maybe Kanye can hang in there for half a year.
We will keep you posted on this deal as more information develops.
