He’s ten times worse than what you see-Kanye West's bizarre world exposed by former bodyguard

Former New York police officer Steve Stanulis alleges he was sacked by Kanye after being seen talking to Kim Kardashian in a corridor, after previously being banned from talking to her, and now he's spoken out about all he witnessed guarding the rapper.

Steve, who has worked for A-listers like Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire - hit back at his former employer by snarking that it was easier looking after North West than it was her father.He told The Sun on Sunday .

“I had to look after his toddler daughter once and it was so much easier than babysitting the father.

“I’ve been employed by a lot of high-end people but I’ve never worked for someone like him. He’s ten times worse than what you see.“You just never knew what would trigger a meltdown.”

 Bodyguard Steve’s tales of West’s wobblies are just as jaw-dropping.

He said: “On the first day we headed to his music studio. When we got into the elevator Kanye just stood there with his arms folded and said, ‘Aren’t you going to press the button?’.Kanye never, ever apologises'I told him, ‘I have never been here, I don’t know which floor’.'

 “He flipped out, squealing that his time was precious and that he couldn’t believe I hadn’t called ahead to find out which floor he worked on.
“I explained, ‘We have three options. You tell me the floor and I press the button, you press the button, or we stand here’. Eventually, he told me and I pressed the button. Kanye never, ever apologises.”

Then there is his rule against his security entourage wearing anything but black.

Steve recalled: “There was a new security guard and on his first day he wore red-coloured sneakers and Kanye didn’t like it at all.
“The guy also touched Kanye’s shoulder while guiding him through paparazzi into his car. Even though the bodyguard was just doing his job Kanye turned around and snapped, ‘Don’t you ever touch me’.“Within two hours I got a call to say the guy had been sacked.”

 Steve continued: “He got annoyed because I ‘got in his shot’ once when the paparazzi were taking pictures. He absolutely adores the attention.

“On another occasion when we were in the studio, he walked past a couple of his other bodyguards as they were chatting, then turned and demanded, ‘Can you two not talk when I walk by you’.”

 Another meltdown came on the set of TV show Saturday Night Live when West threatened to walk out during a live broadcast because the shiny floor was reflecting the lights into his eyes.

The security guard said: “

He was ranting incoherently and at one point screamed: “I am bummed . . . if I am going to do this, we are breaking the motherf***ing internet.”

It was only when wife Kim, 35, came down from the audience to soothe him that the 38-year-old could bear to carry on with the show.

Then there was the time Steve helped a tipsy West back to his room in New York’s luxury Waldorf Astoria hotel. Steve said:

“It was about 5am and when we got out of the elevator he directed me to what was clearly the wrong room.

“There were security men in the corridor who said the suite was occupied by a party of Italian dignitaries.
“Rather than apologising Kanye started yelling and screaming, ‘Don’t you know who I am? I’m Mr West!’ to which the guys looked blank and curtly replied, ‘No’.
“After an awkward few seconds, which felt like an eternity, Kanye let me guide him back the other way.”

 But he was surprised how little time the couple, whose second wedding anniversary is next Tuesday, seemed to spend together.

He told The Sun:
“They flew in to New York separately for the Met Ball earlier this month and when they were together they weren’t particularly affectionate.”

Despite this, Kanye is fiercely possessive of his reality superstar wife.

Steve said: “I first met her in February at his design studio. I introduced myself and said I was working for her family, so she knew who I was. She was very nice.
“After a few moments one of Kanye’s assistants came over and told me not to talk to Kim or get too close to her. The order can only have come from him.

 The issue came to a head on the night Steve was charged with escorting the two to the Met Ball, the huge annual fundraising gala held in New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Not long before the pair were due to leave their hotel Kanye demanded to be driven to the bash in a sports car rather than the booked limousine.

Steve said: “They were struggling to locate one at such short notice, so I went up to their floor to find out what was happening.

“I ran into Kim in the hallway but before I had a chance to say anything Kanye emerged. I said: ‘How are you doing today, Mr West?’.
“He ignored me, walked into his room and shut the door abruptly.
“After that they left for the ball without me. Shortly afterwards I was told my services were no longer required.”

In total Steve had only worked for the star, who lives in Los Angeles, for TWO WEEKS — ten days in New York in February for his combined launch of his latest album and fashion range then four days back in the city ahead of the Met Ball.But that is longer than many of West’s staff manage to last.

He recalled of first joining the security team: '

“I was told, ‘Don’t expect to last long. He goes through a lot of guys and some don’t even last the first hour’.” West had especially requested Steve be part of his New York security team again for the ball this month.

But Steve almost turned him down.

He explained:

“I initially refused the second gig because he had been so rude the first time around.
“But working with Kanye is like sleeping with your crazy ex-girlfriend. You say you are never going to go there again and then you do.”

He continued: “He is the most condescending person I have ever met.“It is his world and everyone just exists within it. I don’t know how Kim stays married to him.
“I was amazed by the amount of bizarre behaviour I saw in just two weeks. Imagine what must go on over a year.”
