#1. The Warlord found a second career as 50 Cent's bodyguard
After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, The Warlord transitioned into a career in security. Ironically, his newfound opportunity led him back into the world of entertainment. Instead of protecting his opponent in the ring; however, The Warlord would now protect world renowned hip hop artist 50 Cent.
After seeing the way the rapper carried himself, and how hard he worked, The Warlord came to respect and admire 50 Cent. The two would become close friends in the process, not that the job was ever easy, as it would involve The Warlord risking his own life.
On a recent episode of Prime Time with Sean Mooney, The Warlord described exchanging gunfire with rival rappers,
"We were in downtown Manhattan. He [50 Cent] went to this radio station to surprise them. All of a sudden all these cars were around the complex with spinners on them and all that stuff. There's four of us bodyguards and all of a sudden we see these SUVs and we kind of go toward it. We see something in their hands and I know they have guns in their hands. We get back and we let 50 know, 'We're pulling up to the side of the building real quick and getting you out of here.'"
The Warlord and the other bodyguards rushed 50 Cent into his bullet proof SUV and safely escorted him into his hotel room, but the excitement was far from over.
When the bodyguards returned outside they found themselves under gunfire,
"It was probably about 15 shots. I just got behind the SUV and sat behind the SUV. After that, there was nothing for awhile and then they just kind of took off. I guess they were just shooting handguns and they were not very good shooters."
