The former security personnel said that he wasn't about to cop an assault charge and lose his license over a past incident.

GloRilla's former bodyguard said that she fired him for not going back to beat up the person who threw water at her at an Oakland venue. Moreover, he maintained that he did his job in the moment: protecting Glo and making sure that she got out of there safely. However, the Memphis MC apparently told him to go back to the venue and make a vengeful attack on the culprit. "I did my job, it's complete," he said during a video rant. To be fair, he said that he would've been much harsher to the crowd if they actually posed a threat or attacked them outright.

However, he stood by the fact that the person who threw the water was throwing it from the sides in the crowd. As such, he didn't have much reason to get confrontational, as they weren't directly in the rapper's face. In fact, the former bodyguard said that he wouldn't risk losing his license or catching an assault charge for petty and unwarranted retaliation. It's not like Glo was scared or directly in danger, and the bodyguard defended the fact that he did what he had to do and nothing more.

GloRilla's Former Bodyguard Speaks On Why He Was Fired

Moreover, the incident stemmed from miscommunication between the "F.N.F." star's camp, the venue promoters, and the crowd. According to the promoters, they paid GloRilla to perform, not host or do a walk-through, and her team agreed. As such, the venue promoted the event as a performance, not just any old appearance. However, both Yo Gotti and GloRilla clapped back and said that they didn't come to such an agreement. Not only that, but they claimed that the promoters did not pay them enough for an actual performance.

“$30K to perform,” the CMG wrote alongside laughing emojis on Instagram. “[You] must [have] booked Lil Glo, NOT Big Glo #CMG.” Furthermore, Glo took to Twitter to voice her frustration. “Ain’t no ho spit on s**t!!!!!! Ask dat ho how ha face feel doe. No way you think I’m performing when you paid for a hosting, crazy tail self.” If the bodyguard's story is correct, one thing's for sure: going back to beat a disappointed fan up would've been an even bigger mess to clean up. Regardless, stick around on HNHH for the latest news on GloRilla.
