Kanye ‘buddy’ film on tap

TWO Hollywood streaming services are racing to create documentaries on Kanye West. Both would center on the mercurial rapper’s relationship with his onetime bodyguard — former NYPD officer and Chippendales dancer Steve Stanulis — and are being pitched as a real-life “48 Hrs.”

“Two studios approached me,” Stanulis said of the potential projects that want to start shooting as soon as next month.

Stanulis worked with West in 2016, and was around for some of the star’s wild incidents, including a behind-the-scenes meltdown on the set of “Saturday Night Live,” plus events such as New York Fashion Week and the Met Gala. Stanulis has also claimed that West once tipsily wandered into the wrong hotel room of an Italian dignitary at the Waldorf, nearly setting off a brawl.

“Every day was a new adventure,” he told us of working for the rapper and fashion plate. “There are a ton of stories I haven’t told.”

The purported movie would be the latest chapter in a more-than-tumultuous relationship between the two. “I was one of his favorite guys,” Stanulis said of working for West, at first. But the bond soured and has led to legal threats from both sides over an alleged confidentiality agreement. (West’s side has said Stanulis signed one, while Stanulis denies it.)

“They threatened to sue me two separate times — once back in the day, and then on a podcast this year. It went viral, and they threatened to sue me again for $10 million, and my attorney countered and it just went away,” Stanulis said.

A rep for West did not comment. Stanulis said he’s tried to put all of this behind him, but, “This way nobody has to ask me about this ever again. I swear to you, no matter what I do . . . somewhere along the line [the job with West] comes up.” With the film there will be “nothing left to be said. I’m saying it all,” he said. He hasn’t worked in security for years and is now a filmmaker — though he said he’s happy not to be directing or producing the West project.
