*Kanye West’s former bodyguard Steve Stanulis has reignited his feud with the rapper, speaking out about Ye’s ‘ridiculous rules’ during a recent appearance on the “Hollywood Raw” podcast. 

Stanulis claims one of the most memorable of West’s demands was that he needed to “stay 10 paces” behind the artist while walking outside. 

“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 said, per Just Jared. 

Stanulis also recalled his first encounter with Kanye during fashion week. 

“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,’” he said. “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.’”

He continued: “So he’s ranting and raving. 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.’ Again, that was our first interaction. He went for the first option.”

He also admitted that Kanye was “one of my least favorite people to work with over the course of time.”

When it comes to Kanye’s wife Kim Kardashian, Stanulis confirmed what many of us have long suspected… that the couple tips off paparazzi to their whereabouts.

“First of all, there’s no way [paparazzi] doesn’t get called upfront. There’s no way every time they are leaving, all these people know about it. There’s definitely somebody calling ahead. That’s just my opinion…I’m just saying it coincidental that wherever we are, they’re always there. Maybe they’re just better than I think they are.”

Stanulis also recounted the time he nearly came to blows with the security team of an Italian dignitary after West wandered into the wrong hotel room at the Waldorf.

“We were coming home late from the studio and he was a little intoxicated,” Stanulis said. “He couldn’t find his room,” adding that the other guest’s “bodyguards, private security stand up … didn’t know who [West] was. There was a language barrier. It was like a Mexican standoff.” 

Waldorf security had to be called to the scene to direct Ye back to his own suite.

Back in 2016, Stanulis publicly slammed the Kim and Kanye after he was allegedly fired by the hip-hop star when he was accused of hitting on Kim.
