SORRY Kanye West, it looks like Puma’s “measly million dollars” is good enough for Kylie Jenner.
The outspoken rapper has been left red-faced (again) after his sister-in-law went against his wishes and inked a deal with the sportswear giant.
West, 38, last week declared on Twitter that a Jenner-Puma partnership was out of the question.
“1000% there will never be a Kylie Puma anything. That’s on my family. 1000% Kylie is on Yeezy team!!!” the Gold Digger rapper, who is tied to rival brand Adidas, tweeted last week.

The husband of Kim Kardashian even promised to return their million dollar offer.
“Puma we gone give you your measly million dollars back!!! Never try to divide the family!!!” he tweeted on February 9.
But now Nice Kicks reports Jenner, 18, has partnered with Puma and will serve as a brand advocate, supporting specific products through campaigns and “her own personal social outlets”.
Pop star Rihanna signed on as a global ambassador with the activewear company in December 2014, and will exclusively wear Puma collaborations from her FENTY label.
Rihanna debuted her first collection over the weekend to high praise — including from West who tweeted: “Wow the paradigm has shifted. She killed it … everything is changed now!!!! Lil Sis kiiiiiiiilled this s***!!!!!!!”

West, meanwhile, is promoting his own collection, which he revealed has left him with debts of more than $US53 million.
He said he used his own money to fund his Yeezy Season collections and to work on his seventh studio album The Life of Pablo, forcing him to beg Mark Zuckerberg for cash.
On top of his two major projects and extravagant lifestyle with his wife, he revealed he’s been paying for a game to be made about his late mum Donda in heaven.
He’s believed to have spent more than $US14 million having his new home built in Bel Air and last year confessed he had spent $US11 million trying to get his clothing line off the ground.

The news comes after a tweet appeared on the official Virgin Australia Twitter account tagging West and calling him a “douche”.
The Virgin Australia tweet said: “@kanyewest EAD you douche.” EAD stands for “eat a d**k”.
The mystery tweet was in reply to the artist’s own tweet attacking review publication Pitchfork for rating his new album nine out of ten.
Although Virgin Australia distanced themselves from the tweet, they have been feted by the Twitterverse
