Kanye West’s Former Bodyguard Talks About His “Ridiculous Rules”

If you think working for Kanye West might be challenging, you might be right. Steve Stanulis is Kanye’s former bodyguard and he spilled some details on his employment.

Stanulis told the Hollywood Raw podcast, “Kanye has some ridiculous rules. He wanted you to stay 10 paces behind him on a city street. So obviously if someone is going to come up and do something, by the time I try to run up and prevent it, it would have already happened.”

He continued, “The first day I met him…it was fashion week. I was supposed to meet him at the studio. When he gets there, we get into the elevator and he says, ‘Aren’t you going to push what floor we are going to?’ I was like, ‘I have no idea what floor, it’s my first day.’ So he starts ranting, ‘So you mean you didn’t call ahead to find out where I’m supposed to be going?’ I said, ‘No.’ So he’s ranting and raving.”

The story continues, “So I said, ‘Look bro, we can do this one of three ways. One, you could tell me what button to press, and now I’ll know. Two, you could press the button, and I’ll see which one you press so I’ll know. Or three, you can sit in here all day and tell me how important your time is and we are not going to go anywhere.’ He went for the first option.”
