Preacher Lawson Calls Out Security for Following Him
“What’s up, y’all? Just getting followed around by a cop,” Lawson says to start the video, before confirming that the man is a security guard at the hotel and saying he’s following him “’cause you don’t believe I’m here.”
As Lawson gets on the elevator, he says the guard is “gonna walk me to my room.” He then asks the guard, “You do this to everybody? That’s crazy, man.”
The guard then speaks to the camera, saying that everyone has to show their card when they come into the hotel. Lawson encourages him to come up in the elevator with him, but the guard steps out and tells him to have a good night.
“Pro tip! Pull your phone out and security becomes nicer,” Lawson wrote in the caption of the video.
