Kanye West 'fires all his staff' in 'massive meltdown'

Kanye West has reportedly fired all of his staff in an epic post-show rage.

The controversial rapper is said to have had a “massive meltdown” after his disastrous Yeezy Season 4 fashion show last month, where models fainted and couldn’t walk in their shoes.

“He had his agent fire all 30 of his staff after the fashion show and got rid of his phone so people can only contact him via e-mail,” an insider told Page Six.

“He had a nervous breakdown after the show, and that’s what triggered it all.”

Reviews of the show claim models looked miserable on the runway, but a source close to the star insists that while Kanye, 39, wasn’t happy with the event, he “didn’t have a nervous breakdown.”

“Some people got let go, and there was a reorganisation of others who he moved back to the music side of things. He’s a grown-up,” adds the insider.

“He was reflective and disappointed in how things went. He took stock in what people were saying and he was disappointed.

“But he’s more determined than ever to get that stuff right. And as far as throwing away his cellphone? If he did, then it’s not the first time. He always does that.”

The dad of two apparently instead put his energy into his Saint Pablo Tour after his fashion show failure but was forced to abruptly end his concert at the Meadows Music Arts Festival after finding out his wife, Kim Kardashian, had been robbed at gunpoint at their Paris apartment.

Kanye was set to perform in Philadelphia and Detroit this week, but LiveNation sent out a statement on Tuesday announcing that those shows were postponed until December.

The Saint Pablo Tour will resume the rest of its schedule on Friday in Chicago.
