Kim Kardashian admits Kylie Jenner was in the doghouse with Kanye West over Puma deal
Youngest member of the Kardashians is the face of Puma despite previously working on rapper's Adidas line
KANYE West didn't know about Kylie Jenner's Puma deal until the shoot was already taking place.
The 18-year-old reality star signed with the sports brand back in February despite her brother-in-law insisting "1000%" there wouldn't be a deal just days before, having had Kylie walk in his own line for Adidas in the past.
And now his wife, and Kylie's older sister Kim Kardashian has revealed just how upset the 38-year-old was to discover his sister-in-law had gone ahead and inked a deal with Puma.
Speaking in the latest episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Kim revealed how the couple were upset with Kylie and mother Kris Jenner, who had brokered the deal, saying: "Kanye had Kylie walk in his first two shows, he really believed in her as part of his brand.
"I get my mom's job is to get us deals ... but everything has to be really carefully played out and I feel like this was a conflict of interest."

"I just wish my mom spoke about it wish us. We should all be able to communicate so we don't step on anyone's toes."
Kim aired her views during the family's trip to Cuba, and upon her return, she went straight to Kris, 60, to confront her about going behind Kanye's back.
But Kim was initially defensive, saying: "I run a business and the biggest part of my business it to pay attention to everyone involved ... and the best first for each one of my clients.
"Sometimes it's about a business decision."
But Kim was quick to take her mother to task, replying: "Sometimes when you're dealing with family, it's not really about a business decision.
"She was the model that he wanted ... I just would have liked the heads up ... He had no idea until the shoot was already happening."
Kanye was particularly upset about Kylie's decision after he had included the teen in his first two fashion show's for is Yeezy Adidas line.
Ahead of Kylie's Puma deal being confirmed, he tweeted: "1000% there will never be a Kylie Puma anything. That's on my family! 1000% Kylie is on Yeezy team!!!"
Realising she had handled the situation badly, Kris conceded to Kim: "I am just trying to do the best job for everyone that I can.
"Sometimes I get ahead of myself and forget to communicate the way I should."
