It has this week emerged that 30 staff members faced the wrath of US rapper Kanye West after the epic fail that was the Yeezy Season 4 fashion show, which took place last month.

The much-anticipated fashion show at New York Fashion Week turned out to be an epic disaster where models fainted and could barely walk in shoes that did not fit properly.

Now it is being reported by various US publications that Yeezy apparently had a 'nervous breakdown' and fired 30 staff members who were involved with putting the range together.

"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 the paper. He had a nervous breakdown after the show and that’s what triggered it all," a source told New York Post.

However, a second source reportedly poured cold water on the claims saying that Kanye did not have a breakdown but was livid over the flop.

The news comes hot on the heels of his wife Kim Kardashian being robbed in Paris during an armed robbery which left her badly shaken.
