^^^It's not that serious. Lol. I've had bodygauards appointed to me for events. Got to the point where I'd say my homeboys were my personal bodyguards so they could get paid for the night. Not like I'm even known well enough for someone to "hate on" but if my former label was doing something in Vegas or Tijuana, ect. and sent me out there, they wanted me took care of(especially if I was wearing jewelry they provided or in one of their cars). It's easy to look from the outside in and say "these dudes with cops" or "these dudes shook, so they got bodyguards". I ain't never requested one and I've been guarded by the big Puerto Rican dude "Frank" who used to bodyguard for Jay. I know Timbo's Bodyguard Rodney, and while dude is big, if real sh*t went down, him and Timbo would both be scrapping(that ain't nothing but Timbo's homeboy). I'm '6.2" 240lbs. I've bodyguarded a few major rappers because they needed someone who could look intimidating real quick on there way somewhere, lol. And I ain't even that big, but when you frontin' like a professional, it makes you seem more dangerous than you really are. Next time you in a club, really size up that bouncer who stay mean muggin you. He prolly the same size you are, just got on a tight shirt and standing with his head up and his chest out, lol.
I'm not sure of Em's situation and why he traveled with 32(quite a few), but it could be nothing more than the label assigned 32 to escort him. Maybe he traveled with the 2 "daughters" he cares for? Maybe members of his entourage will need accompanying.
No label is gonna put an investment like Em in danger. Michael Jackson traveled with similar ammounts, and FYI for those that don't know. Rick Ross may have been responsible for a hit down that way. Ja and Irv frequent MIA, and Em's old buddy Benzino hangs in that area alot. Khaled, Fat Joe, you never know who down there may make a call to prove a point. Not to mention regular everyday people like LLJones said. 2Pac and B.I.G. is what happens when bodyguards aren't on their job. Both killed after events where they should've been well protected and surveyed. Especially at the status they were at and the beefs they had.
