Despite being considered as one of the most talented music artists of this generation, many people think that Kanye West's attitude, behavior and personality are undesirable. However, the "Waves" rapper's ex-bodyguard claims that the hip-hop artist is even much worse than what people think.
"He's 10 times worse than what you see," Steve Stanulis told Page Six. The former New York Police Department cop also revealed that he had an easier time looking after North West than looking after the 38-year-old rapper. He also considers Kanye West as the most difficult famous person he has ever worked for.
Stanulis recalled his unforgettable first day of working for Kanye West. While the two men were inside an elevator, Kanye West got angry that Stanulis did not press the elevator button and did not know which floor they were going to.
"[Kanye] 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," the bodyguard complained. "It is his world and everyone just exists within it."
Stanulis was able to work for Kanye West for two weeks before getting fired for introducing himself to the rapper's wife, Kim Kardashian. He said that most of Kanye's bodyguards do not last long working for the rapper.
Stanulis added that he is clueless as to how Kim Kardashian is able to stay married to Kanye West. Stanulis described Kanye as the most condescending person he has ever met.
Because of Kanye West's bizarre behavior and controversial actions and statements, many people believe that the rapper has some mental health issues. Dr. Rachel Kitson, a mental health professional, believes that Kanye West displays certain symptoms of having a Narcissistic Personality Disorder such as being excessively obsessed with power, vanity, attention, admiration, grandiose beliefs, prestige and adequacy.
