Kanye West’s former bodyguard says the rapper was one of his “least favorite people” to work with.
Celebrity bodyguard and former NYPD cop Steve Stanulis opened up about working with West on the podcast “Hollywood Raw” with Dax Holt and Adam Glyn.
Stanulis recalled a time that he almost came to blows with an Italian dignitary’s security team when a tipsy West wandered into the wrong hotel room. “We were coming home late from the studio and he was a little intoxicated,” Stanulis claimed, adding West was staying at the Waldorf. “He couldn’t find his room.”
West got confused and went to a room where an Italian dignitary was staying, Stanulis claimed, adding that the other guest’s “bodyguards, private security stand up. They didn’t know who [West] was. There was a language barrier. It was like a Mexican standoff.” We’re told by Stanulis’ rep that Waldorf security was called to direct West back to his own suite.
“Kanye has ridiculous rules,” Stanulis — who directed and stars in an upcoming movie called “5th Borough” with Tara Reid — claimed. But while he called the star client the neediest, moodiest and worst tipper, he also said he was the most hardworking.
