Kanye West reportedly went ballistic after his recent Yeezy fashion show was a total disaster.
The 39-year-old is thought to have had a "massive meltdown" after the show went viral for all the wrong reasons.
Videos of models barely being able to walk down the runway spread like wildfire on social media, and there were reports of others fainting due to the heat.
Apparently, the rapper began giving people marching orders soon after he saw how negative the reaction was.
"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 New York Post.
"He had a nervous breakdown after the show and that’s what triggered it all."
A second insider refuted the 'meltdown' claims, but insisted that the star was definitely disappointed.
"He took stock in what people were saying and he was disappointed - but he’s more determined than ever to get that stuff right," the source said. "He’s a grown-up. He was reflective and disappointed in how things went."
The hip hop icon, who has now successfully turned his hand at fashion, dreamed up a unique way to showcase his collection to an audience on Roosevelt Island, where he invited top editors, bloggers and social media stars to feast their eyes upon his latest creations.
But the unique display was hampered by reports that models were fainting and in desperate need of water as they were forced to stand in the baking heat without shade.
During the show, Stella Bugbee, who is an editor for New York Magazine's The Cut, tweeted that she felt she needed to leave the show because of the models. She called out Adidas and said it should be “ashamed” because of the struggling models, some of which almost fell she claimed.
“Most awful thing I have ever seen at #NYFW. Getting the f*** out of this. #YeezySeason4 what a nightmare,” she tweeted.
