  • Andrew Tate permanently banned from TikTok for breaking content rules – Dexerto

    Andrew Tate permanently banned from TikTok for breaking content rules TikTok/UnsplashControversial content creator and former kickboxer Andrew Tate has been permanently banned from TikTok, the platform that largely helped him grow his online celebrity in the past six months. Formerly known as a kickboxer and contestant on reality show Big Brother, Andrew Tate shot to internet infamy in 2022, with TikTok a large component of his growth. In addition to his own account, lots of clips from his podcast and other appearances would go viral on the app, with TikTok’s algorithm often recommending more and more of his content if you watched a couple of videos. But, on August 22, TikTok banned Tate’s content, permanently. This follows his ban from Meta platforms Instagram and Facebook only days prior. Why did TikTok ban Andrew Tate? In a statement to the Washington Post, TikTok said Andrew Tate’s account was removed for breaking rules on “content that attacks, threatens, incites violence against, or otherwise dehumanizes an individual or a group.” Videos with the hashtag Andrew Tate had been viewed over 13 billion times on TikTok. TikTok told The Independent that it is also working to remove clips of Tate’s content posted on the app by other users. “Misogyny is a hateful ideology that is not tolerated on TikTok. We’ve been removing violative videos and accounts for weeks, and we welcome the news that other platforms are also taking action against this individual.” The Andrew Tate hashtag is still visible on TikTok at the time of writing, but presumably it will be shadowbanned similar to how other controversial or dangerous hashtags have been wiped. Tate’s Hustler’s University program has also been shut down.

    Andrew Tate offers to help Dillon Danis for Logan Paul fight Instagram: Dillon Danis / Andrew TateControversial social media star Andrew Tate has offered to help Dillon Danis train for his upcoming boxing fight against Logan Paul. With the rivalry between the two undoubtedly starting to heat up, Logan Paul and Dillon Danis are set to finally touch gloves on October 14, featuring as a double main event on the anticipated ‘Prime Card’. For years, the two have gone back and forth on social media firing shots at each other. Now they’ll finally get to go blow for blow on the same night KSI and Tommy Fury touch gloves. Leading up to what’s expected to be a firey bout, notorious internet personality Andrew Tate has offered to help Danis train and prepare for the fight. Andrew Tate takes Dillon Danis’s side over Logan Paul As a former four-time kickboxing world champion, Andrew Tate has offered to help the UFC star ahead of his fight with Logan. In a post on August 21, Danis shared a screenshot of a conversation between the two, where the self-proclaimed ‘Top G’ said they could spar. “If you come to Romania we can spar no problem G,” a text from Tate read. According to Danis, he believes it’s a huge possibility that the two could actually train together. Although he noted it all depends on his schedule. “I have massive respect for the top G and his skill set,” he wrote. He added: “It would be awesome to get some rounds in with the Cobra, depends on scheduling. But this is a huge possibility.” In the build-up to their fight, Danis has repeatedly taunted Logan, sharing photos of his fiance Nina Agdal with her past partners. More recently, the UFC star has suggested that he has an image that is so shocking, it could cancel the fight and land him in jail. Andrew Tate meanwhile remains under judicial control in Romania, still set to face trial on charges of human trafficking and forming a criminal group.

  • Andrew Tate offers to fight “b*tch” Logan Paul for free – Dexerto

    Andrew Tate offers to fight “b*tch” Logan Paul for free YouTube: Impaulsive/ValuetainmentDivisive viral star Andrew Tate has spoken out against YouTuber Logan Paul, calling him a “bought and sold individual with no soul” after recent comments made by Paul against Tate. Andrew Tate has become a huge viral sensation in 2022, with thousands of clips being shared far and wide and earning millions of views. The former kickboxer and self-proclaimed “top G” has made a huge name for himself online, but it’s not been without its kickbacks from others. One person who has taken umbrage with some of Tate’s comments is Logan Paul, one of the biggest personalities on the internet as a top YouTube star, boxer, podcaster, and more. During an episode of his Impaulsive podcast, Logan spoke about not wanting to give Tate a platform, explaining why he refused to call him out for a boxing match. Tate followed up by calling Paul “weird” and “jealous,” but he’s gone on to speak more on the YouTuber during an episode of the Valuetainment podcast. After being asked about Paul’s comments, the ‘Top G’ didn’t hold back. “He doesn’t stand for anything and doesn’t mean anything he says,” Tate explained. “He will flip-flop on any issue, he can be bought and sold, the dude’s a b*tch.” That wasn’t all, though. Tate continued: “I’ll fight him for free. The guy’s an idiot … Because he was canceled before and it emotionally destroyed him. He sat on camera crying his eyes out like a little girl, instead of being a man about it. He is so fearful of the mob, so scared of being canceled again, that he’s going to sit there and say anything he’s told.” Andrew went on to explain that he believes there are people who “set the agenda” and they’ve chosen Logan Paul to be their counter to Andrew Tate, to try and reach that demographic of people. He also claimed that Logan and Mike Majlak were showing him a lot of support, inviting him to places and tagging him in Instagram posts before “turning on him” after he got canceled. There’s clearly a lot of bad blood between these two, and while Logan said he won’t call Tate out for a fight, that doesn’t mean it’s completely off the cards.

  • Andrew Tate claims he was “offered” Floyd Mayweather fight but turned it down – Dexerto

    Andrew Tate claims he was “offered” Floyd Mayweather fight but turned it down YouTube: Rob Moore/Instagram: Floyd MayweatherAndrew Tate has revealed that he was once offered the chance to fight Floyd Mayweather but turned the opportunity down. During an interview with Rob Moore, the host listed off a number of well known and influential fights, asking Andrew Tate if he would ever consider stepping in the ring with them. When asked if he would ever fight Floyd Mayweather, Tate was quick to respond with “no” before revealing that he had actually already been “offered that fight” and had turned it down. “He is one of my heroes so I couldn’t bring myself to do it,” Tate began when prompted to explain why he had turned down the fight. “He’s retired and he’s small and I’m a lot bigger than him. I wouldn’t get knocked out, I’d be totally fine.” Tate then called Mayweather the “best boxer of our time” and that his admiration for the fighter is the leading reason he refused to go toe-to-toe. “I love his story. I love his confidence. I love how he self-hypnotizes. Every single word out of his mouth is self-hypnosis. I love how he hypnotizes his opponents. His style. Everyone says he’s boring, he is not boring. If you appreciate defense he is the best there’s ever been.” Tate then added that if they were to battle it out he wouldn’t be able to “bring myself to ever throw a punch. “I have very few heroes in the world and he’s one of them.” In the same interview, Tate called Jake Paul “certainly the best of all the influencers who are currently fighting today, hands down.” Tate also said he’d fight the likes of KSI and other YouTube boxers but called them all “clowns”, stating that he’d beat them all in the first round. And while Andrew Tate has no plans to step into the ring with Floyd Mayweather, there is much talk that he will be facing off with Logan Paul in the near future.

  • Andrew Tate mocked over bizarre tweet about being able to fly – Dexerto

    Andrew Tate mocked over bizarre tweet about being able to fly YouTube: Andrew TateThe internet has been roundly mocking Andrew Tate after his Twitter account went on a bit of a mad posting spree about people trying to fly. That’s right, fly, and not on a plane. Every day on Twitter, someone somewhere ends up going viral for some inane take about sports, music, a popular TV show, or dropping a bizarre piece of advice. Despite the fact he’s been detained in Romania on suspicion of organized crime and human trafficking, Andrew Tate’s social media accounts have continued to post content. His email service has been pumping out messages to fans describing his detention, while his Twitter account has maintained that he is innocent in regard to the charges. Shortly after his appeal for release was denied for a fourth time, Tate’s Twitter began posting some bizarre questions about people trying to fly – and it wasn’t about planes or helicopters. Andrew Tate urges people to fly and the internet roundly mocks him That’s right, on February 27, the controversial influencer’s account asked if any of his followers had attempted the “impossible” task of “genuinely trying to fly” without the help of a machine. While the tweet thread gained some support from his followers, it was quickly mocked on the whole by people who couldn’t quite believe what they’d read. “Let me grab my Buzz Lightyear costume,” joked one. “Just broke most of the bones in my body,” added another. “People do that. we call them pilots. Hope this helps,” another chimed in. While another simply said: “You can’t fly Andrew.” Plenty of others made references to the fact it sounds like a storyline from Dragon Ball Z, and even the infamous Key & Peele “limitless” sketch where an athlete urges kids to try and fly. As noted, Tate’s accounts have remained active despite him being held by authorities, and when they’re not questioning gravity, they have been going after Jake Paul for losing to Tommy Fury.

  • Andrew Tate loses it after Adin Ross pranks him with absurd cosplay – Dexerto

    Andrew Tate loses it after Adin Ross pranks him with absurd cosplay YouTube: LegendAndrew Tate lost his cool after Adin Ross pranked him by making it look like he shaved his head before calling Tate on Discord. Over the last few months, Twitch star Adin Ross has slowly become more acquainted with controversial influencer Andrew Tate. Having received various social media bans throughout 2022, Andrew Tate is known for his “Top G” mentality alongside his Hustlers University online course. During a recent Discord call on stream, Andrew Tate lost his cool after Adin Ross pranked him by acting like he had shaved his head — only to reveal it was a bald cap. Andrew Tate loses it after Adin Ross prank During the stream, Adin called Andrew through Discord while wearing the bald cap and smoking a cigar. “Adin, you know what? You’re a G. Officially. You’ve moved from the bullsh*t realm internet dork and you’re now a gangsta,” Andrew said. “You stuck to your word, shaved your head like you’re supposed to. You’ve got the right aesthetic.” However, the compliments didn’t last long as Adin began removing the bald cap to show off his full head of hair and mentioned that he will shave his head on January 1, 2023. “So you’re not a G, are you Adin?” Tate responded. “I thought you were a gangster, but it turns out you’re a dork in a cap…Who gives a f*ck about January 1, that’s forever away. The matrix might get you by then.” It’s unknown whether or not Adin will actually shave his head on New Year’s Day, so we’ll have to wait to see what happens when the time comes. In the meantime, head over to our entertainment hub for more news and other viral stories.

  • Andrew Tate launches his own comic book series with a ridiculous price tag – Dexerto

    Andrew Tate launches his own comic book series with a ridiculous price tag DNG ComicsAndrew Tate has been busy since he was released from the custody of Romanian police, and his most recent venture is a comic book series. Top G: Breaking Illusions is the first issue of the series, and it’s got an eye-watering price tag of almost $100. Over the years, Andrew Tate has put his time into many a business venture. From his Hustler’s University business courses meant to teach others how to make more money to helping operate casinos in Romania, the man certainly has an eye for business at times. Following his release from the custody of Romanian authorities, Tate has returned to content creation and has been looking for new opportunities. However, his most recent business venture is a bit bizarre. On July 27, Andrew Tate announced his very own ‘Top G’ comic series, and revealed the story is about him “fighting against the forces of the Matrix and corporate tyranny” in what appears to be a somewhat autobiographical story. The real headscratcher, however, is the $97 price tag. Andrew Tate sells Top G comic for almost $100 On Andrew Tate’s official landing site for DNG Comics, the label under which he’s publishing the Top G comics, there are some details about what exactly these comics will be about. The site certainly isn’t shy about the fact that this comic is about Tate and his struggles in recent times. Tate explained the story the comic is meant to tell about his ongoing fight with “the Matrix.” “They don’t want you to know the truth – they want you living in a mental cage, chained by a weak mindset. I became the superhero of the youth by telling the truth and teaching young men to be strong. And now I am being punished for it, in real time. These stories reflect the harsh truths of the Matrix, how I escaped it, and what I predict they will try next.” Tate also claims that he’s “passing on some of my most vital life lessons through these powerful stories.” Considering that previews of the comic on Tate’s site feature him doing things like being targeted by snipers and stopping bullets with his mind, it’s yet unclear if this is meant to be a completely faithful retelling of his experiences or one that plays up some of the details. Additionally, the Andrew Tate comic is priced at $97 dollars. This isn’t for the entire series as it comes out, but rather, that’s the price for the very first issue. It’s safe to assume that future entries in the series will have a similar cost. It isn’t clear how long the comic is, with the site only describing the comic as “an all time collectible.” That said, if we’re going by the promotional images of Tate holding and reading the comic, it isn’t exactly a novel-length affair. There aren’t that many content creator-back comic book series, although there is one that comes to mind as a point of comparison: MoistCr1TiKaL‘s GodSlap series. In comparison to Tate’s series, the first book in his GodSlap series is $12 for a physical copy and $5 for a digital one, making Tate’s comic more than 8 times more expensive if we’re comparing physical versions. And that number doesn’t include shipping. In order to ship the comic internationally, some are reporting shipping costs upward of $20 on top of the already high price tag. Whether Tate’s fans can justify the cost of his comic remains to be seen.

  • Andrew Tate is open to fighting KSI: “Why would I not punch him in the face for money?” – Dexerto

    Andrew Tate is open to fighting KSI: “Why would I not punch him in the face for money?” Controversial internet star Andrew Tate is eyeing up yet another opponent to step in the ring with, this time calling out British YouTuber KSI. Andrew Tate has been all the talk on the internet for the past few months. With his controversial misogynistic comments, the kickboxing world champion has blown up on TikTok and YouTube. Recently, Tate was banned from Instagram – where he had an impressive 4.7M followers – as well as Facebook for “violating its policies on dangerous organizations and individuals.” The 35-year-old has also been in the news for eyeing up a fight with YouTubers Jake and Logan Paul, with him hinting that contract negotiations are underway. However, after some recent comments, it wouldn’t be out of the question to see the kickboxing champion stepping into the ring with KSI in the future. Andrew Tate says he’d fight KSI During a live stream with Adin Ross on August 19, the internet star was asked if he’s heard of KSI. Unsurprisingly, the kickboxer admitted he’s familiar with the British entertainer. Adin Ross then followed up, asking if we’d ever see the two of them touching gloves in the future. “I do know who KSI is yeah. Listen, like I said, these people aren’t my family. They’re not my family members. If someone were to come along with the right amount of money and say 50 million or whatever, do you think I’m going to sit and say ‘no I can’t fight him’,” Tate said. He continued: “Why would I not fight KSI? Why would I not? I don’t care. Why would I not punch him in the face for money? It’s a genuine question. “I don’t watch his videos, I’m not a fan of him, I don’t really know what he says. I know who he is, but I have nothing that’s going to prevent me from fighting that man. I’ll fight anybody. I’ve fought my whole life.” It’s unclear if we’ll actually see KSI or either of the Paul bros for that matter face off with Tate in the future. However, there are for sure a lot of fans that would love to see it happen.

  • Andrew Tate remains in custody after detainment appeal is denied – Dexerto

    Andrew Tate remains in custody after detainment appeal is denied WikimediaBrothers Tristan and Andrew Tate will remain in custody after facing the judge at Bucharest’s court of appeal on January 10. The two will stay behind bars for 30 days. Tate Brothers appeared in Bucharest court to appeal 30-day detention – They have now left the court after around five hours, returning to detention – Brothers have said they have children who need them to be free – The brothers tried to convince the court that they need to be released as they have children to care for and that Andrew is suffering from a lung ailment. Romanian outlet SpyNews reported that Tate has lung nodules and that his team claimed he cannot receive adequate care while he remains in custody. The brothers, along with two women also arrested in the human trafficking sting, were initially held for 24 hours, before this was extended to 30 days. Andrew Tate previously claimed in a livestream with Adin Ross that he has a total of 10 children, with different women. The brothers arrived at court at around 10AM local time, seen exiting a police van handcuffed to one another. They left, still in cuffs, after spending approximately five hours in court. SpyNews also reports that as part of the appeal, the Tate brothers asked for the return of their seized luxury vehicles. Hours after presenting their appeal, the Tate brothers’ request was denied, with both brothers set to remain in custody. Prosecutors can now request a maximum of 180 days of detention. Even if the appeal was successful, they could have been prevented from leaving the country or placed under house arrest. DIICOT, Romania’s anti-organized crime agency, said that a total of six victims had been identified. Lawyer for the Tate brothers has claimed there is “no evidence” for the allegations of rape or human trafficking, other than the victim statements. We will keep this page updated with the latest reports from Romanian media who are on the ground at the Bucharest court of appeals.

  • Andrew Tate house arrest extended for 30 days by Romanian court – Dexerto

    Andrew Tate house arrest extended for 30 days by Romanian court YouTube: Andrew TateAndrew Tate’s house arrest has been extended for another 30 days by a Romanian court after the controversial commentator was released from prison in March. The investigation into inflammatory online personality Andrew Tate has taken another turn, as reports claim that a Romanian court has ruled he and brother Tristan Tate must stay under house arrest for another 30-day period. The brothers were first arrested in late December 2022 following Tate’s viral Twitter spat with climate activist Greta Thunberg. The Tates were arrested on suspicion of human trafficking, rape, and organized criminal activity following allegations levied toward them earlier in 2022. Andrew & Tristan Tate house arrest extended for another 30 days The brothers stayed in prison up until March, with their appeals for release being denied a number of times. Now, the Tates are locked down at home after their appeals were finally approved — but they don’t seem to be too bothered by the goings on. In fact, Andrew Tate has been quite active on social media, notably posting a video of himself eating pizza and smoking a cigar while listening to Mariah Carey… possibly a jab at Thunberg and the pizza incident just before his arrest. Tate became a notable online figure in 2022 due to his inflammatory views on women. Tate’s views sparked backlash across the internet and even resulted in him being banned on a number of social media platforms like Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, and more. The commentator left a final message on Vimeo before continuing his ‘Hustler’s University’ sans social media — but has been reinstated on Twitter following Elon Musk’s acquisition of the site. For now, Tate continues to make posts on social media amid his ongoing house arrest, a few of which have raised eyebrows from netizens.

  • Andrew Tate hints that Jake Paul fight is under negotiation – Dexerto

    Andrew Tate hints that Jake Paul fight is under negotiation YouTube: CEOCASTThe internet has latched onto a possible Andrew Tate and Jake Paul boxing match and after several weeks and a few subtle digs, the former Kickboxer told Adin Ross that there are some negotiations happening behind the scenes that he’s not ready to talk about. Two of the most controversial figures on the internet may be set for a big-time clash if Andrew Tate was being serious during his latest appearance on Adin Ross’ stream. Tate, a retired professional fighter, has previously stated that he has no ill will for The Problem Child but would still “kick the living f**k” out of him if given the opportunity. Andrew Tate vs Jake Paul may be going down after all When the younger Paul brother was first approached about a potential fight with the self-proclaimed trillionaire, his answer wasn’t exactly promising. “I don’t even know who that is,” he claimed. If these new details are to be believed though, the situation has certainly changed. While talking to Ross Tate claimed that “sophisticated” negotiations were underway and that he shouldn’t say any more than that while they were on air. Jake is not the only one gunning for a chance to fight the former reality TV star. His big bro has also put his hat in the ring, calling the older fighter a ‘drug addict’ and claiming he would gladly suit up against him as well. Tate hasn’t been too enthusiastic about the prospect of fighting either one of them, and outside of his usual braggadocio, this is the most concrete thing that’s popped up so far. For Jake, the timing would certainly work out now that he won’t be squaring up with Hasim Rahman Jr. anymore, and after two canceled bouts, his fans are certainly ready to see him back in action soon.

  • Andrew Tate flamed as music career resurfaces following arrest – Dexerto

    Andrew Tate flamed as music career resurfaces following arrest After the buzz surrounding Andrew Tate’s social media presence settled to a dull roar, his music career has seen a surge in popularity following his and his brother’s arrest. Andrew Tate is known by many for his controversial takes on women, money, and power. In fact, clips of him sharing his beliefs helped him grow to unprecedented popularity in 2022. But there are facets of Tate’s life that occurred before 2022 that many people may not be familiar with. Like his short-lived appearance on the reality TV show Big Brother, the titles he won during his 8-year stint in kickboxing, or maybe even the handful of rap songs he released in 2019. That’s right, the Top G himself entered the rap game with five singles released between January 2019 and March 2020. Following his arrest on December 29, social media has dug up his old music videos, citing them as the “real reason” he was arrested. Andrew Tate roasted over rap career On December 28, Climate Justice Activist Greta Thunberg posted one of the most-liked tweets of all time with Andrew Tate in her sights. A day later, Tate would issue a response video that Romanian officials would reportedly use to initiate a raid of Tate’s home, leading to his arrest for alleged human trafficking, rape, and forming an organized crime group. While many Twitter users poked fun at Tate’s apparent self-sabotage, others dug deeper into the life of the influencer before his rise to fame. They uncovered a few music videos from his 2019 stint as a rapper, all of which have seen a resurgence online following his arrest. Taking on the moniker Mr. Plenty, Tate would release five singles featuring Kriss Kiss: Suicide, Sugar Daddy, Broke Boyz, Part Time, and Forgot Your Name. Shortly after discovering these tracks, spectators began tearing apart his lyricism. “Andrew Tate needed to be arrested for dropping this anyway,” Twitter user Nezzzooo commented on Tate’s track, Sugar Daddy. Another user shared what they thought was one of Tate’s worst bars coming from his single Part Time. “Busy making money on the hotline. I spend it all cause you’re a dime. And you know I had to climb… from the bottom of the pile to the top.” But many felt Tate’s most ironic bar came from the song Suicide in which he called out his haters three years before he became the most searched man on the internet. “We throw money, you throw shade. Kicking down the door like police in a raid.”

  • True Geordie apologizes to Andrew Tate over “Islamophobic” comments – Dexerto

    True Geordie apologizes to Andrew Tate over “Islamophobic” comments True Geordie has apologized to controversial social media star Andrew Tate after being accused of making “Islamophobic” comments toward the kickboxer amid fight rumors between the two. After hundreds of Andrew Tate‘s divisive comments went viral across the internet, British YouTuber and podcast host True Geordie claimed he would “absolutely” punch him in the face if presented the opportunity. Rumors circulated that the two would ultimately step into the ring and hash it out, and they’ve both since gone back and forth a few times throwing shade at one another. While Andrew claimed he’d fight both True Geordie and KSI in the same night, nothing has since come of it, with potential bout rumors dying down. However, the situation has since escalated again, as, during a recent November 6 podcast, True Geordie took aim at Andrew’s religion, after he recently converted to Islam. The popular YouTuber was asked by a fan if he’ll be fighting Andrew Tate, to which he responded in a fashion many have found shocking. The YouTuber and his co-host poked fun at the kickboxing champion, claiming that he wouldn’t stand a chance in the ring with Tate since “god is on his side” since his conversion to the religion. True Geordie continued with comments deemed to be “racist” by critics, stereotyping that Andrew should “blow himself up” and prove how committed he is to Islam. Andrew Tate responds to True Geordie Hitting back at the British YouTuber, Tate put out a chilling response claiming that True Geordie will deal with the consequences of insulting the entire religion. “There are very few people I personally dislike, one of them is True Geordie,” he said. “He’s very insulting, fat, vulgar, he’s a d**khead, and an unlikeable person. He’s not very smart, he’s stupid. “Now after me converting to Islam, he made a piece on one of his podcasts saying I’m not true in my conversion, and then insulted all Muslims. Making f**king racist comments about an entire religion as if that’s somehow funny. Let me tell you something my friend, and True Geordie if you are watching this, this is a message directly to you. There are certain times in life when you need to know when to shut the f**k up.” Tate continued: “But to insult my religion, and the religion of billions of people across the f**king planet, making ignorant jokes about blowing ourselves up, thinking it’s gonna go without consequence, you’re gonna learn very quickly my friend that was a mistake.” Fans react to True Geordie “Islamophobic” comments It didn’t take long for True Geordie to start facing backlash over the comments he made. “Being islamophobic and perpetuating harmful stereotypes on a public platform and laughing about it is completely ridiculous, especially for someone with a platform as big as his,” one viewer wrote. “Anyone saying anything like this shouldn’t be representing the scene.” “What a despicable thing to say. They are actors and sometimes their real self reveals,” one fan hit out. “It was a poor attempt of a joke trying to show his distaste for Andrew Tate however it’s not acceptable and TrueGeordieTG should apologize as soon as possible and clear this up,” said another. True Geordie apologizes for “Islamophobic” comments about Andrew Tate On November 7, True Geordie uploaded a twenty-minute video discussing the incident and issued an open apology for his remarks, calling his comments a “stupid joke.” “I made a joke in questioning that ‘newfound faith’ of his, that conveniently comes at a time when he needs as many supporters as he can get,” Geordie said of the matter. “It was a stupid joke.” “When I say that out loud, when I’m aware of it, f*cking horrendous. It was one of those off-the-cuff remarks I made with a total lack of thought, and I used an unrealistic stereotype to take aim at someone who seriously dislikes me. Obviously I don’t believe that’s what Muslims actually do… It was a very stupid thing to say. It was an idiotic joke – one I’m sorry for.” Tate has yet to issue a response to Geordie’s video at the time of writing.

  • Andrew Tate fears he could be “killed” in prison – Dexerto

    Andrew Tate fears he could be “killed” in prison YouTube: Piers Morgan UncensoredAndrew Tate believes he could be “killed” while in police custody after being arrested by Romanian authorities on charges of human trafficking, rape, and organized crime. Controversial online personality Andrew Tate is currently being detained by Romanian law enforcement after his arrest in late 2022. Tate rose to prominence earlier that year, largely due to his inflammatory views on women, and garnered a wave of backlash that saw him banned from many social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter. After his arrest in December 2022, Tate (or someone from his team) has been sporadically posting to his Twitter account, which was reinstated shortly before his detainment as part of Elon Musk’s acquisition of the site. Andrew Tate fears he could be “killed” in message to fans His most recent post saw the commentator claim that he fears he could be killed as a result of his arrest — either that, or emerging as some sort of “respected and influential” ‘hero.’ “There are two possible futures of the universe,” he wrote. “One, they kill me. Two, I emerge as one of the most respected and influential men on the planet galvanized by false persecution.” “I ask my enemies to make a choice,” he continued. “I will stay awake tonight prepared for mortal combat. Send your best.” This is far from the first message that Tate has penned from his Twitter account since his arrest, nor the first statement he’s sent to his fans and critics. Most recently, Tate claimed he wasn’t guilty of the “heinous crimes” of which he’d been accused in a Tweet penned on February 8. The former kickboxer also detailed the “horrific” conditions of his prison in an email to fans back in January, saying he’d been “thrown inside a cell without light. Cockroaches, lice, and bed bugs are my only friends at night.” For now, Tate remains in police custody on charges of human trafficking, rape, and organized crime, with prosecutors alleging he’d even paid for enhancement surgery for one of his victims to make her look “more attractive” on OnlyFans, where he was purportedly using the women to make money.

    Andrew Tate fans storm streets of Athens in protest Twitter: Amged, GeorgeAvg1Fans of Andrew Tate stormed the streets of Athens, Greece in protest of the controversial commentator’s arrest, shouting chants of “Free Top G” as they marched. Andrew Tate is currently being detained by Romanian authorities on charges of human trafficking, rape, and organized criminal activity. Tate, a former kickboxer, is best known for his inflammatory online commentary about women. He went viral online in mid 2022 after his views sparked outrage on social media, garnering attention from major influencers and even mainstream figures. He was notably arrested on December 29 after famously taunting climate activist Greta Thunberg on Twitter, with law enforcement raiding his home. Tate and his brother, Tristan, were set to be held by authorities for 24 hours, but this period was extended for 30 days. Although the Tate brothers appealed their detainment, the request was denied, with the siblings relegated to prison for at least 30 days amid an ongoing investigation. Andrew Tate’s arrest sparks fan protest in Greece Tate’s arrest has sparked a major conversation online — and has, apparently, incited protests from fans, as well. On January 15, a swath of Tate fans swarmed the streets of Athens, Greece, shouting chants of “Free Top G!” as they marched. The protest took place on Ermou Street, a central pedestrian shopping district in Athens. Several video recordings of the ordeal were posted to Twitter, where fans of Tate are clashing with the kickboxer’s critics. This protest follows recent comments from Tate (or a representative for the commentator) via Twitter, where he claimed that “anyone who believes I’m a human trafficker is genuinely a moron.” “Anyone smart enough to understand the American System is unfair would be mind blown by the injustice of the Romanian System,” he added. Tate’s assets have also been seized, including his collection of luxury vehicles, which boast an estimated worth of “five million euro.” For now, Tate’s Twitter account has been sporadically active as he remains in custody.

  • Andrew Tate “enslaved” & brainwashed two women who deny they were victims, judge rules – Dexerto

    Andrew Tate “enslaved” & brainwashed two women who deny they were victims, judge rules Andrew TateTwo women who denied that Andrew Tate trafficked them were brainwashed, and were unaware they were enslaved, a court in Romania has ruled. Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan were arrested by DIICOT authorities in Romania on December 29, 2022, as part of an investigation into human trafficking. Their detention has since been extended twice, with the pair now being held until at least February 27. Their second appeal for early release from detention was denied on February 1. Two women who said they worked for the brothers willingly, were subject to a report by a clinical psychologist. The report concluded that they had suffered trauma and were unaware they had been exploited. One of the women was from the US, and had been attracted by Tristan to travel to Romania. The judge ruled that despite the women’s statements that “denied any form of exploitation,” these statements “did not reflect reality.” “It is known that in the case of the ‘lover boy’ or ‘falling in love’ recruitment method, victims of human trafficking do not always recognize that they were enslaved and exploited and do not cooperate with the judicial bodies, attesting to the idea that these activities were carried out voluntarily.” Prosecutors in the case allege that the Tate brothers, with the help of two female accomplices Georgiana Nagel and Luana Radu, would seduce the women with fake promises of relationships or marriage. The Tate brothers deny the allegations and claim that there is no evidence to support the claims. Andrew Tate has still been active on social media, likely through his team, and has detailed the conditions of his detention, claiming cockroaches, lice, and bedbugs “are my only friend at night.”

  • Andrew Tate dismisses cancer claims, says he’ll live “5000 more years” – Dexerto

    Andrew Tate dismisses cancer claims, says he’ll live “5000 more years” Rumble/AndrewTateFollowing widespread claims that Andrew Tate had a cancerous tumor in his lungs, the controversial influencer has denied that he’s afflicted and claimed that he’ll live “at least 5000 more years”. The Romanian government has detained Andrew Tate for months following his arrest in late December 2022. Despite appealing for release four times, he’s yet to have an appeal granted. However, he’s still had access to his phone and the internet during his detainment, and the influencer certainly hasn’t been quiet on social media. In response to recent rumors and claims from his manager that Tate underwent medical treatment while in Dubai, Andrew Tate himself took to Twitter and shot down any claims that he has lung cancer. Andrew Tate takes to Twitter to shut down cancer rumors The rumors began after medical documents surfaced, ones that stated Andrew Tate had a lesion in the upper right portion of one of his lungs. While Tate corroborated that he had a checkup in Dubai, he’s wholly dismissed that he has cancer, claiming that the doctors “do not understand how I survive without treatment.” In the series of tweets, he’d go on to explain that he’s estimating he’ll be around for “at least 5000 more years” and that he won’t be going away any time soon. After outright saying he doesn’t have cancer, Tate did mention that he has a scar on his lung from what he called “an old battle.” He continued, calling himself “one of the most influential men on the face of the planet” and said his survival and longevity is “important for the good of humanity.” Tate also claimed that the doctors don’t know the “secrets of Wudan,” a battle he claims “long passed.” This is in reference to The Tales of Wudan, a series of stories from Andrew Tate’s website that go over the tales of what Tate claims to be his past life where he lived “5000 human years atop Wudan mountain.”

  • Andrew Tate detained for fourth month as judge extends custody again – Dexerto

    Andrew Tate detained for fourth month as judge extends custody again Rumble: TatespeechAndrew Tate’s custody in Romania has been extended by a judge for the fourth time, pushing the controversial influencer’s current release date to the end of April. Back in December 2022, Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan were arrested by Romanian authorities after they raided their home on suspicion of human trafficking, rape, and forming an organized crime group. Originally sentenced to just 30 days of detention, it has been extended several times despite Tate’s attempts to be released earlier than scheduled. His most recent release date was set for March 27, 2023, but a judge in Romania has opted to keep the Tate brothers a bit longer. Andrew Tate detained for fourth month As reported by BBCNews, Andrew and Tristan Tate will remain in custody until the end of April 2023, presumably around the 27th of the month. According to their lawyers, prosecutors in Bucharest did not bring any evidence to the court hearing on March 22, and the lawyers argued that their clients’ popularity is contributing to the decision to keep the brothers in custody. Judges have mentioned over the last few months that they are keeping the brothers in custody due to their extreme wealth and ability to leave the country during the investigation — but lawyers have argued that keeping them detained so long is “unnecessarily harsh.” Under Romanian custody laws, they can keep Andrew and Tristan for up to six months. Neither brother (or representative of them) has made a comment on the extension at the time of writing, but we’ll be sure to update you when or if they do. Given the fact they’ve attempted to appeal the court’s decisions several times, it’s only a matter of days until the Tate brothers will attempt to get an early release from custody.

Cockroaches, lice, and bed bugs are my only friends at night. When the guards bring me to and from the courtroom, I stay absolutely respectful,” he said. “They try to pour hatred into my heart. But Please and Thank You stick with me at all times. My prison guards are just performing their job, they have families to feed. In times of hardship, do not forget your manners.” Tate continued: “In times of hardship, don’t forget your manners. They are trying to break my Iron Mind with unjust imprisonment. My absolute respect for everyone around me is my act of absolute rebellion. They cannot break me. My guards know I am innocent. “They know it is unjust. They see I will never break and respect my resolve. Please and Thank You stick with me at all times. Such is the way of the Wudan.” Right around the time he sent the email, Tate also posted on Twitter revealing that fans can email him as well.

  • Andrew Tate denies “crying” in prison despite ‘tears on his face’ – Dexerto

    Andrew Tate denies “crying” in prison despite ‘tears on his face’ YouTube: Piers Morgan UncensoredAndrew Tate has denied crying on live television while discussing his time spent in prison for human trafficking charges. Andrew Tate‘s takes on several topics have gained him a large following on the internet, where he’s amassed both favor and infamy alike. On December 29, 2022, Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, being sent to a Romanian prison where he remained for three months. Tate appeared on British television to be interviewed by Piers Morgan about his time in prison, where he denied ever being brought to tears during his incarceration. Tate did admit to becoming rather emotional during his time in the Romanian cell, claiming that he had “missed people” and that they had “missed him”. “I was emotional, I missed people, I missed them, and I knew they missed me. So I felt a strong sense of missing,” he explained. When asked by Morgan if he had cried during their time in prison, he denied the claims, stating “There were tears that ran down my face, but I did not cry.” Morgan argued, “That’s crying,” to which the influencer responded with “I disagree.” Obviously, this has come down to a case of opinion between the two, with Tate vehemently denying anything that may tarnish or bring down his reputation as a masculine individual. Though biologically speaking, Tate admitted to the basic human act we all know and understand as crying. During his time in prison, Tate recounted having to fight off bugs that were swarming his cold food. Fasting for Ramadan at the time, he claimed he spent the “entire day destroying flies and ants who get close to the meal.” Still under house arrest, Tate and his brother Tristan are both still set to be on trial for charges of human trafficking, rape, and forming a criminal gang. There is currently no start for the trial.

Andrew Tate has become an infamous figure thanks to his divisive online content, where he gives advice to young men about finances and navigating the dating world. Tate’s content came under fire in 2022, causing him to get banned across multiple social media sites.

Tate wrote about the situation in a post on Twitter/X on December 21, saying, “My mother has had a heart attack and is in hospital. I am going to court tomorrow to request an emergency visit to London.” As we know now, that request was quashed. “The Romanian state decided she must be alone at Christmas, if she is alive,” he said in a follow-up post. “There’s no innocent until proven guilty in Romania.” This isn’t the first time Tate has been given the kibosh from the Romanian government. Earlier this month, he was denied access to $12 million in assets that were seized by the state — including his famous Bugatti. Andrew Tate is still awaiting trial for charges of human trafficking.

  • Andrew Tate delivers “final message” on Vimeo after social media bans – Dexerto

    Andrew Tate delivers “final message” on Vimeo after social media bans Vimeo: FreeTopGControversial online figure Andrew Tate has delivered his “final message” in an hour-long Vimeo video after receiving multiple bans from social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube over the past week. Andrew Tate has released a statement via Vimeo on August 23 after receiving a swath of criticism over the past several weeks, resulting in him being banned from multiple online platforms. Andrew Tate’s hour-and-thirteen-minute-long Vimeo video began with a description of childhood bullying he endured on the school bus, where he was encouraged to handle the matter himself. As a result, Tate claimed he hit one of his bullies in the face with a metal lunchbox before running home. “Even at a very young age, I was taught that going to authority and crying and hoping someone else was going to fix your problems is not the way a man should conduct himself,” Tate said. He went on to address the multiple ongoing allegations against him, bringing up his religious beliefs and reiterating that the current backlash “does not emotionally affect” him. Andrew Tate slams “attacks” against him “The public consciousness has been polluted to where narratives are being purported, which are absolutely and utterly false, and it’s having a genuinely negative impact on the people I care about, and the people who care about me,” he continued. “A lot of these attacks against me are disguised under the virtue of caring about women. But none of these people attacking me care about women. None of them donate to women’s charities. None of them donate to charity like I do.” Andrew Tate hits back at “out of context” criticism Tate then hit back against popular criticism against him, chiefly claims of misogyny, referencing a particular TikTok that he claims took his words “out of context.” “I didn’t say that,” he argued. “I said that women should be protected and provided for. But because a small clip was taken out of context, and used against me and weaponized, now I look like I’ve said things I did not say.” Andrew Tate says remaining social medias will be dedicated to charity The online mogul also claimed that he would be “detailing on my email list all of my charitable donations, all the orphanages I will be building,” using the “hundreds of millions of dollars” he’s gained from his internet fame for “positive causes.” Tate wrapped up his video by encouraging his fans to “please explain the truth in a respectful manner” to his critics and said that “any remaining social media channels” of his will be dedicated toward charitable causes.

  • Andrew Tate dances with anime waifus in outrageous new Twitter posts – Dexerto

    Andrew Tate dances with anime waifus in outrageous new Twitter posts Twitter/CobratateControversial internet personality Andrew Tate left fans baffled after he posted several videos and photos posting with anime girls. Is Andrew Tate a weeb after all? For a few days straight, the kickboxer-turned-influencer has posted content featuring anime girls photoshopped beside him while posing next to vehicles. The bizarre posts began on May 17, when Tate uploaded a photo to Twitter showing him standing next to an anime character with the caption “GM.” Tate followed this up with a similar post on May 18, and then a full video featuring him and brother Tristian dancing with an anime girl in their office – and fans were absolutely baffled by the clip. Andrew Tate baffles internet with anime girl dance Shortly after posting on Twitter, fans began demanding answers to the absurd anime content. “Why is there an anime girl there?” another confused user asked. Others, meanwhile, posted old tweets by Tate where he slammed anime and claimed that no woman would want to associate with adults who watch those shows. “If you are over 15 and still like cartoons, you are a loser. Anime, Dragon Ball Z, etc. No excuse. Plus ANY woman loses respect for you. Grow up,” he said back in September of 2022. It’s not clear if Tate has changed his tune or if he’s merely being ironic with the anime content, but it’s certainly quite a shift for the controversial influencer who was arrested in Romania as part of an investigation into human trafficking, rape, and organized crime.

Tate is known for making bold statements, often drawing a lot of attention towards himself, and resulting in his clips and comments spreading like wildfire on social media. The kickboxer-turned-influencer deems himself as a victim of the corporate media, in a similar way to the victims of the Titanic sinking in the interview. He explained just like the men on the ship weren’t able to get a lifeboat, he cannot get help himself but say what he believes: “Same as the men on the Titanic couldn’t get on the lifeboat, I just can’t stop saying what I believe to be true.” This comment has garnered criticism, after it was reported by Rolling Stone. Andrew opens up on his time in jail At one point Tate also talked about suffering depression and getting arrested. He shared that the 92 days he was in jail was the toughest time for him, as he had no idea when he would get out. “I stared at the wall, smoked cigarettes, did lots of push ups, and read the Quran. Tried my best to get out and made sure the people who I love are being taken care of. There are a lot of people who rely on me. I have got people to pay,” he said. He claimed he wasn’t as “powerful” as he should have been which upset him especially if he was going to be stuck there for a long time.

  • Andrew Tate clashes with KSI after claiming he “respects” him – Dexerto

    Andrew Tate clashes with KSI after claiming he “respects” him KSI has clashed with Andrew Tate after the controversial influencer claimed he respected the YouTube star. KSI and Andrew Tate have had plenty of back-and-forth altercations. The two internet stars have even toyed with the idea of stepping into the boxing ring with one another. It’s clear that KSI has some distaste for Andrew, publicly condemning the controversial kickboxer on several occasions. On the other hand, Tate’s Hustlers University reportedly even put a “bounty” on the YouTuber in an attempt to cancel him. However, despite their history, Tate recently revealed there’s no animosity with KSI on his side, and even showed respect for the YouTuber. Andrew Tate “respects” KSI for stepping in the ring In a tweet on May 20, Andrew gave fans the chance to ask him anything, where one took the opportunity to ask if he actually dislikes KSI. Surprisingly, Tate admitted he doesn’t actually dislike the YouTuber. “No. I don’t know him,” he answered. “He does some cringe bullsh*t but most ‘influencers’ who haven’t found god do. “He talks a bunch of shit about me but again, I don’t care. Truthfully, I respect any man who steps into the ring.” However, clearly, the feelings weren’t reciprocated, as KSI hit back with a meme which was captioned, “Nah the d**k eating is crazy.” The cheeky response understandably changed Tate’s attitude, with him responding, “Ok I’ve changed my mind.” “This is the difference between you and him. You show the respect and he will still be childish and act like he’s better then everyone,” one fan wrote, to which Tate responded, “Yes. He’s proved himself a clown.” While KSI may show disdain towards Tate, his mother Yinka Olatunji left fans shocked after she seemed to be in support of the controversial influencer in a tweet earlier in May.

The brothers will remain detained until February 27th, with their assets also being seized as a part of DIICOT’s investigation. Despite the detainment, they have remained in contact with fans and have also been granted visits with family members. Though, Adin Ross is not allowed to visit even though Tate placed him on the list of people he’d like to see. Andrew has been sending emails to fans detailing the conditions of his detainment, and his Twitter account has also remained active. Though, the former Kickboxer has now appeared in public and spoken to reporters for the first time since his arrest. Andrew Tate speaks publicly for first time since detainment in Romania The brothers were summoned for further questioning on January 25 by anti-organized crime prosecutors, and had the opportunity to speak to reporters waiting outside for them as they were transported. “They know we have done nothing wrong,” Andrew said as he walked from the police van to the building. “The case file is completely empty. Of course, it’s unjust, there is no justice in Romania unfortunately.” His brother Tristan echoed that, claiming there is “no evidence” against him and that authorities are “planning to steal my cars and steal my money.” Romanian authorities are able to detain suspects like the Tate’s for up to a maximum 180 days at the request of prosecutors. It remains to be seen what will happen next in the legal proceedings, and if they’ll make any more public appearances. Though they are unwavering in their belief that there is no case against them.

One of those who participated was Andrew Tate who promised to use the money for his own charity, Tate Pledge However, Andrew Tate did not win the giveaway when all was said and done.

    Andrew Tate claims “massive” fight with KSI, Logan, or Jake Paul was organized before arrest YouTube/James EnglishAndrew Tate has claimed a massive fight with a high-profile influencer such as KSI, Logan, or Jake Paul was organized before his arrest in December 2022. After it all began with KSI and Joe Weller going blow for blow in early 2018, nobody could’ve guessed where influencer boxing would be today. In the past five years, we’ve seen a ton of YouTubers, TikTokers, athletes, and even some mainstream celebrities put on the gloves and go toe-to-toe in the ring. Andrew Tate claims he was set to fight influencer before arrest In a recent interview, controversial social media star Andrew Tate was asked if he was ever actually set to step in the ring with Jake Paul, or if it was all just for media hype. The two internet stars came face-to-face in Dubai in late 2022, teasing that negotiations for a fight were ongoing. Although according to the former four-time kickboxing world champion, a fight with an influencer was actually on the cards before his arrest. “Yeah, it was on the cards for a while. KSI’s an idiot. Logan’s an idiot. Jake is actually quite a nice guy. I met Jake and he’s actually quite a nice guy,” said Andrew. “I want to jump back in there and teach them all a lesson, and there were some fights on the cards.” He continued: ” Some big fights for me organized, being organized in November. I said to them, look, I don’t give a shit about PPV and gate tickets, I want ‘x’ amount of million up front, expecting them to say no, and they’re like ‘okay’. “I was like alright well, it’s a lot of money. So it was all organized, and then I went to jail.” With KSI’s Misfits Boxing signing a five-year deal with DAZN earlier in 2023, there are still a ton of opportunities for Tate to touch gloves with another influencer. Although for now, we’ll just have to wait and see what comes of his trial, as he faces charges of human trafficking, rape, and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women.

  • Andrew Tate claims he’s being “set up” after houses raided by police – Dexerto

    Andrew Tate claims he’s being “set up” after houses raided by police Joseph D. McBride, Esq./XThe Tate brothers were the targets of house raids in Romania on Wednesday, following which Andrew Tate has claimed to press that he is being “set up”. On August 21, four homes were searched as part of DIICOT’s, Romania’s anti-organized crime agency, human trafficking investigation. This included Andrew Tate’s home in Bucharest. Tate is currently awaiting trial on charges of human trafficking and rape. He and his brother Tristan have denied all the allegations against them. Following the raid, Andrew was placed under house arrest for 30 days, while his brother Tristan was placed under judicial control for 60 days, which requires him to appear before authorities regularly, the Bucharest court said in a statement. Speaking out about their house arrest, Andrew claimed that he’s being “set up”. He started his speech to the press by saying that he’d lived in Romania for 10 years and how he’d spent those years promoting the country and its “beautiful people” to the rest of the world to combat the country’s bad reputation. He said: “I’ve been nice. I’ve been patient. I’ve played the game. I’ve respected the judiciary. I’ve gone to every appointment on time. But they busted my house again. And now come along saying there’s thirty-five victims. You know, thirty of those girls have statements in our defense? “Thirty saying we’ve done absolutely nothing wrong. Two more are the mothers of our children. And two more have never even been to Romania.” He continued: “This is a set-up. It is absolutely disgusting. Thirty of those girls say we have done nothing wrong. Two are the mothers of our children, two have never even been here to Romania.” “I’m not a human trafficker clearly… This is done on purpose and it is designed to come up with the most heinous possible crimes to slander our name.” The brothers – along with two Romanian women – were initially arrested in 2022, and held in custody before being released on house arrest and were not allowed to leave Romania. On July 5, they were permitted to travel within the European Union. However, this decision was later overturned, meaning they must remain in Romania as they await trial. Under Romanian law, the Tate brothers could face jail sentences for as long as ten years for trafficking adults. The Tates have denied all accusations of human trafficking, rape, and sexual exploitation. However, they could face more time if they’re found guilty of multiple crimes, particularly the rape charges. Rape in Romania can result in up to 18 years in jail.

    Andrew Tate claims he was swatted with fake report of human trafficking FoxFollowing his widespread ban from many social media platforms, Andrew Tate appeared on Fox News to discuss the situation and allegations against him. He claims that allegations of human trafficking against him were the result of a swatting incident in Romania. When Andrew Tate, a former professional kickboxer and reality TV star, rose to stardom online in 2022, reports were also made that he is under investigation for human trafficking. Although the cause of his ban from platforms like TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram are due to violation of content policies, many have also pointed to this investigation as a reason for him to be deplatformed. However, Tate claims that it was simply an elaborate swatting that caused police to arrive at his home in Bucharest, based on a false report of human trafficking made by a troll. Andrew Tate ‘swatted’ in Romania Tate, who lives in Romania, explained to Tucker Carlson on Fox Nation, “I was not arrested. What happened is I suffered from a case of swatting. It’s very popular with people who are large on the internet. “It’s where you call the police and you say somebody has a gun or there’s a hostage situation, and the SWAT team arrives. Somebody made a phone call to the American Embassy saying I was holding women at my house,” Tate explained. “[Police] turned up, they investigated, they realized nobody was in the house against their will, there was no crime committed […] we had to go to the police station for 45 minutes for pieces of paper, we filled them in and we were let go.” Tate also addressed the multiple bans from social media platforms, stating “I don’t know if they all follow each other, if they’re all influenced by each other, I don’t know if there is someone above them all. “But when they go to cancel you, ladies and gentlemen, it comes hard and fast.”

  • Andrew Tate claims he is being targeted as a “person of color” – Dexerto

    Andrew Tate claims he is being targeted as a “person of color” Kickboxing world champion turned viral social media star Andrew Tate has claimed he’s being targeted by media as a “person of color.” Andrew Tate has spread across our social feeds like a wildfire. The self-proclaimed trillionaire has certainly made his mark on the internet, going viral across TikTok, YouTube, and even Twitch — spreading his divisive takes as he goes. The former professional fighter has faced his fair share of criticism for his comments online, and now, the controversial internet star has warned those trying to paint him in a bad light while talking to a reporter, claiming that a hit piece would likely be due to his status as an ethnic minority. In a podcast with his brother Tristan, the two revealed they were joined by a reporter from Vice, who was there to observe, listen and learn the “Tate” way to make a documentary about the brothers. During the podcast, the 35-year-old made a clear warning to the reporter in his home by noting his ethnic background – which comes from his father Emory Tate being an African-American – before they attempt to do a hit piece on him. “I want to put out there, that if you guys decide to do a hit piece that you are a cis-gendered white male and I am an ethnic minority,” he said. “I am half African-American as you can tell, and as a person of color I find it extremely offensive you’re going to do a hit piece on me.” The kickboxing champion continued: “And that will be my reply because I think that’s why you’re doing it. A bunch of white men have shown up at my house and are filming me as a person of color and they intend on painting me in a negative way. If I was white like all of you, you wouldn’t do that. So keep that in mind.” (Timestamp at 8:55) It’s unclear what Vice’s goal is with their documentary. However, the “Top G” certainly got the message across to the crew.

  • Andrew Tate calls out Logan Paul on Twitter from Romanian prison – Dexerto

    Andrew Tate calls out Logan Paul on Twitter from Romanian prison YouTube: IMPAULSIVE, Piers Morgan UncensoredControversial internet commentator Andrew Tate is stirring up beef with influencer Logan Paul over Twitter as he remains in custody with Romanian authorities. Both Logan Paul and Andrew Tate have been in the social media limelight as of late — and not for wholesome reasons. Logan Paul’s new year has been a bit of a struggle for the influencer, who is currently facing accusations of “scamming” his fans with a cryptocurrency game he produced in 2021 called ‘CryptoZoo,’ on top of controversy surrounding the rehoming of his pet pig, Pearl. Andrew Tate, on the other hand, is set to remain in police custody in Romania after being arrested on charges of organized crime and human trafficking. Both he and his brother’s detainment appeal was denied, and the siblings will remain in jail until the end of January, at least. Logan Paul tweets about “the Matrix” in possible Andrew Tate reference In an unexpected turn of events, Logan Paul appeared to reference Tate’s constant mentions of ‘the Matrix’ in a Tweet on January 10, writing: “The Matrix is real. Pray you never become its target.” It’s unclear if Paul’s tweet was specifically calling out Tate’s arrest, or his own ongoing controversies — but Tate (or at least, someone on his team) took notice of the post. Andrew Tate hits back at Logan Paul on Twitter during detainment Tate’s Twitter account, which was reinstated in late 2022, publicly put Logan Paul on blast in response to his ‘Matrix’ tweet. “You are the Matrix,” Tate wrote. “You are an Agent. But the Matrix is cracking. And now you will pay the price.” That’s not all; Tate took another blow at the influencer in a follow-up tweet, writing: “Lol. Even in Romanian Prison, they talk about Logan Paul being a scammer.” This isn’t the first time Tate and Paul have butted heads; in fact, the two have bandied about the idea of a possible boxing match for months now, although considering Tate’s current state, it’s unlikely this fight will ever come to fruition.

Andrew Tate calls out Logan Paul for “juicing” On November 3, Andrew Tate joined Adin Ross‘s stream in a Discord call for one of the first times in the last few months. While talking about people accusing him of being on steroids, Tate says that it “annoys” him that steroids exist because his “monumental size and power” would be respected a lot more if everyone else wasn’t on steroids. “A rabbit needs drugs to look like a Tiger. When god creates a predator, he just has natural ability, you understand? I’m not Logan Paul,” he said. This isn’t the first time Andrew Tate has made a claim that Logan does steroids, either. Although Paul quickly fired back, saying he has never done them, and never will. Logan hasn’t responded to the most recent accusations at the time of writing, but we’ll be sure to update you if he does.

    Andrew Tate calls Jake Paul vs Nate Diaz a “real fight” and KSI hits back Rumble/TateSpeechAndrew Tate has praised Jake Paul’s upcoming fight against Nate Diaz as being a “real fight,” a comment that fellow influencer and boxer KSI has taken major issue with by calling Tate out in the same thread.

While he may not be in Romanian prison anymore, he is still currently placed under house arrest. However, now back to his own devices, he has begun posting more online once again. Between calling on Elon Musk to not remove his father’s Twitter account to saying he has been “poisoned” by drinking coffee and water, Tate is back to his usual mischief online. Particularly regarding boxing and the fighting scene. In a new Twitter post, Jake Paul promoted his upcoming fight against Nate Diaz, with Paul writing “More than 20,000 people signed up to get early access to tickets for my fight with Nate Diaz.” In a moment that fans would call out of character for Andrew Tate, he commented on Jake Paul’s post, writing “A real fight. Unlike most [of] the fake YouTube bulls*** out there. Good luck to both.” Andrew Tate praises Jake Paul and KSI calls him out for it However, another influencer turned boxer has hit back against Tate’s claims, this person being none other than KSI himself. KSI responded to Tate’s comment with an image. The caption stated “flag on the play, unnecessary d**k riding.” Given that there have been rumors for months that Andrew Tate and Jake Paul will square off in the ring, this comment has left users wondering if it means the two will finally go toe-to-toe in the future after so much hype and speculation.

  • Andrew Tate blocked from having any visitors in custody according to his brother – Dexerto

    Andrew Tate blocked from having any visitors in custody according to his brother Rumble/TateSpeechAndrew Tate has allegedly been blocked from having any visitors while in Romanian custody, according to a claim from his brother Tristan Tate on Twitter. In December 2022, Andrew Tate’s house in Romania was raided by authorities, which led to the arrest of Andrew, his brother Tristan, and two others. They’ve since remained in custody, recently attempting to appeal for early release for the second time, and are currently set to be released on February 27, 2023. Andrew revealed that he was allowed to make a list of visitors back in January, but according to his brother Tristan, he has been blocked from having visitors since. Andrew Tate blocked from having visitors according to brother On February 5, 2023, Tristan Tate posted on Twitter claiming that the situation has changed. “Andrew has not been permitted a single visitor in prison,” he said in his tweet. It’s unknown how true Tristan’s claim exactly is, as Romanian news sources have reported visits from US consul generals as recently as January 20. On January 18, Andrew Tate revealed in a post on Twitter that he was allowed to make a list of five people that would be permitted to visit him while in custody. One of those people was Twitch star Adin Ross, who quickly confirmed that he would be visiting Tate in Romania shortly after he received the news. Since then, Ross has been quiet about his plans to visit Tate, whose lawyer cast doubt on his ability to visit due to not being a direct family member. Andrew has yet to speak out about the claim as well.

  • Andrew Tate blasts “hypocrite” KSI over ban comments and wants to fight – Dexerto

    Andrew Tate blasts “hypocrite” KSI over ban comments and wants to fight YouTube: Andrew Tate/KSIAndrew Tate has hit back at KSI’s comments about his ban from numerous social media platforms, and says he wants to fight the YouTuber at some point. In the back end of 2022, Andrew Tate, a former kickboxer and reality TV star, has become the source of plenty of controversy – especially when it comes to “misogynistic” comments. Clips of Tate’s controversial comments have spread across TikTok, Twitch, Twitter, and Instagram like wildfire over the last few weeks, but he’s now been removed from many social media platforms due to violations surrounding his content. Some corners of the internet have defended Tate, saying he shouldn’t have been banned due to free speech. Though others, including KSI, have rejoiced in the fact he’s been suspended from the most popular platforms. Andrew Tate takes shots at “hypocrite” KSI The former kickboxer hasn’t completely disappeared off the internet, seeing as he’s now taken up residence on Rumble. And, in his first broadcast, he fired back at KSI’s celebratory comments about his ban. “This is a personal message to you KSI, I had no problem with you, I don’t f**king know you, I don’t watch your bulls**t YouTube channel but when I get banned, you want to go from a fan to just instantly cowering out to the matrix? That makes you a hypocrite,” Tate said. “At least Jake Paul was man enough to say stand up for free speech. If you ever fought Jake, he would smash your f**king face in. And if you want to get smoked twice, I’ll f**king smoke you myself. You’re full of s**t, you’re a hypocrite.” Tate’s comments didn’t go unnoticed by the YouTuber, who fired back and said he wants “all the smoke” from fights against him and Jake Paul. It remains to be seen if the beef between the pair will go any further, or if they’ll just keep trading online snipes at each other.

  • Andrew Tate blames “bot farm” as he hits back at Greta Thunberg’s brutal roast – Dexerto

    Andrew Tate blames “bot farm” as he hits back at Greta Thunberg’s brutal roast IG: GretaThunberg / Twitter: cobratateFormer cage fighter Andrew Tate has blamed “bots” for liking Greta Thunberg’s “small d*ck energy” roast of him on Twitter, before hitting back at the activist himself. Andrew Tate locking horns with Greta Thunberg is probably not what anyone expected to see on Twitter on December 27. After the internet personality bragged directly to Thunberg about owning 33 cars, the Swedish activist clapped back in sensational fashion. Telling Tate to email her at “smalld*ckenergy@getalife.com”, her roast acquired well over 2 million likes and nearly 500,000 retweets. Now, Tate has responded. At first, he blamed “bots” for the amount of likes Greta’s tweet accumulated, retweeting a post from Jackson Hinkle. It claimed “The Greta Thunberg response to Andrew Tate is the most bot-liked tweet I’ve ever seen”. He then took to responding directly, first describing her as someone who advocates for governments “taxing you into poverty to stop the sun from being hot”. In a longer response, Tate thanked her for “confirming via your email address that you have a small penis Greta Thunberg. The world was curious. And I do agree you should get a life”. In an attached video, while smoking a signature cigar, Tate jibed that Greta leaked her own email address. He also said he wasn’t “mad” at her. “I’m not actually mad at Greta,” he said. “Because she doesn’t realize she’s been programmed. She doesn’t realize she’s a slave of the matrix. She thinks she’s doing good. Someone has sat her down and convinced her to try and convince you to beg your government to tax you into poverty to stop the sun from being hot.” He then claimed, without offering evidence, that a “bot farm” descended on Greta’s tweet to like and retweet the message. “Now I know,” he finished. “That Greta… views my tweets. Which is gonna make my Twitter account far more fun into eternity.” Just another day on the internet.

  • Andrew Tate blames ‘agents of the matrix’ after arrest in Romania – Dexerto

    Andrew Tate blames ‘agents of the matrix’ after arrest in Romania Rumble/AndrewTateFollowing his arrest on December 29, along with his brother Tristan, Andrew Tate is back on Twitter and posted a short message to his followers, in which he blamed a mysterious “matrix” for his detention. On December 29, authorities in Romania raided Tate’s home, and later both he and his brother were seen handcuffed and led away by police. The raid was carried about by DIICOT, Romania’s Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism. Tate was arrested on the suspicion of human trafficking, rape, and organized crime relating to a “cam girl business”, prosecutors told Reuters. DIICOT’s official statement confirms that they had been investigating a human trafficking ring since 2021, who were misleading victims into marriage. They also confirmed that four people had been detained in 24 hours. On December 30, the morning following his detainment, Tate returned to social media. “The Matrix sent their agents,” he wrote on Twitter. The statement follows previous claims he has made about being targeted by the “matrix” because he is “outspoken”. He said on a podcast with NELK Boys that now he had been canceled, the next step would be to “make up a reason to put [me] in jail.” Some of Tate’s supporters had already begun spreading this narrative on social media immediately after news of the raid broke, suggesting that it was some sort of conspiracy. Twitch streamer Asmongold also faced criticism for suggesting there was a “50%” chance the government wanted to “frame” Tate, and comparing the situation to that of Martin Luther King Jr.

    Andrew Tate claims he and Tristan would beat Jake & Logan Paul in a cage fight YouTube: The George Janko ShowDuring a new interview with Geroge Janko, Andrew Tate claimed he “backs himself” and brother Tristan if they were to face off against Jake and Logan Paul in a cage match. Influencer George Janko recently sat down with Andrew Tate, interviewing him on his YouTube channel. The two discussed many different topics, one of which was in regard to how he believes he and his brother Tristan would match up against Logan and Jake Paul in a fight. When it comes to famous brothers, the Tate’s and the Paul’s are arguably two of the most well-known pairings on the internet today. While Jake and Logan have been in the influencer space for longer, the Tate’s have found themselves catapulted to the center of major fame after their candid takes on relationships, masculinity, and more. Andrew was quick to respond, claiming that he believes the Paul brothers would not be able to take down the Tate brothers. “You know what, I’m trying so hard not to start internet beef, I’m really trying not to. I’m trying to live peacefully but of course, I have absolute faith in myself and my brother. I know we’ve been through it and I know the kind of men we are.” Of course, many are still holding out hope that a fight between Andrew and Jake will come to fruition. However, the initial fight plans were scrapped after Tate found himself serving time in prison. Since being released, Andrew Tate has slowly been coming back to the public eye, mainly appearing in podcasts with Tristan and guest starring on other shows. The full interview, which can be viewed here, also includes Janko and Tate discussing the topics of religion, upbringing, and more. After more influencer news and content?

  • Andrew Tate banned from Facebook and Instagram amid controversy – Dexerto

    Andrew Tate banned from Facebook and Instagram amid controversy Instagram: cobratateControversial figure Andrew Tate has been banned from Facebook and Instagram after violating their policies on “dangerous organizations and individuals”. Andrew Tate has risen in notoriety over recent years. From being a successful kickboxer to becoming an internet personality, he’s always found a way to stay in the spotlight. However, he’s now been removed from two of the platforms he posts his videos and opinions on. According to BBC News, Meta has removed Tate from both Facebook and Instagram for “violating its policies on dangerous organizations and individuals” – although a more specific reason wasn’t given. Tate had 4.7 million followers at the time of his ban. His following had been growing significantly in recent months as a result of multiple viral videos where Tate has shared his controversial opinions on women and their place in society. Whether it’s being thrown out of Big Brother or appearing on debate-filled podcasts with famous Twitch streamers, Tate always seems to be in the limelight in one way or another. These unpopular opinions are reportedly what got him banned on Twitter. In one tweet he appeared to argue that women should “bare some responsibility” for being sexually assaulted. While he may be banned from Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, he is still able to post on other popular platforms like Twitch, Youtube, and TikTok. The UK advocacy group Hope Not Hate has now called for more tech platforms to ban Tate, referring to him as a “dangerous misogynist” and launching a petition to get him removed from social media websites.

  • Jake Paul, SomeOrdinaryGamer, and more speak out against Andrew Tate Instagram ban – Dexerto

    Jake Paul, SomeOrdinaryGamer, and more speak out against Andrew Tate Instagram ban As many users rejoice after hearing the news of Andrew Tate’s ban from Instagram and Facebook, some of the internet’s biggest influencers are taking a stand against this so-called censorship. On August 19, the news broke that the hot button kickboxer turned influencer Andrew Tate had been banned from Facebook and Instagram. Parent company Meta stated it had removed Tate from its platforms for “violating its policies on dangerous organizations and individuals”. A large number of users across various social media platforms were relieved to hear Tate would no longer be able to influence his 4.7 million Instagram followers. Tate has been at the center of numerous controversies, with his views being called ‘misogynistic’, and a history of female abuse allegations. However, several larger influencers have taken to Twitter, calling out Meta for “censoring” Andrew Tate and “encroaching on his freedom of speech”. The likes of Jake Paul, SomeOrdinaryGamer, and FaZe Ronaldo are among those who have spoken out against the ban. Influencers take a stand against Andrew Tate ban Early on August 20, Jake Paul shared his thoughts regarding the Andrew Tate ban. He tweeted, “Both of these statements are true: 1) I don’t agree with a lot Andrew Tate’s opinions 2) I don’t agree with censorship”. Paul’s defense comes just over a week after he brutally roasted the former kickboxer on the Impaulsive podcast. During the roast he claimed all of Tate’s fans were virgins and poked holes in the ‘Top G’s’ problematic dogma. Another creator who expressed their distaste for Andrew Tate’s ban was Mutahar, a YouTuber more commonly referred to as SomeOrdinaryGamer. He stated, “Banning Andrew Tate is dumb. Ideas should be challenged and if he spreads misinformation it should be countered in the public sphere.” He went on to clarify that his stance was not condoning Tate’s ideology, but rather advocating for influencers to be challenged on the platforms where they have presence. “If you actually believe bans do something it only amplifies his shitty message onto more users through alternative platforms.” Regardless of whether banning is the correct decision- the idea that truth prevails in the public sphere has repeatedly been proven false — ludwig (@LudwigAhgren) August 20, 2022 People just move to spheres that agree with their truth YouTube streamer Ludwig replied to Mutahar stating, “Regardless of whether banning is the correct decision- the idea that truth prevails in the public sphere has repeatedly been proven false People just move to spheres that agree with their truth.” Recently signed FaZe Clan member and professional Fortnite player Ronaldo also added his take. He stated, “You can not agree with Andrew Tate, But isn’t banning him on like stuff just saying he cant have freedom of speech… lol”. However, there were several larger influencers who felt Andrew Tate’s ban was justified. The argument was made several times that his “dangerous” beliefs warranted a platform ban despite numerous users seeing it as an attack on his freedom of speech.

Andrew Tate and his brother were first arrested in December of 2022 by Romanian authorities on suspicion of human trafficking, rape, and forming a criminal gang. The Tate brothers were released from custody in March of 2023, and placed under house arrest after four months in jail. They were finally released from house arrest in August, but are not permitted to leave Romania. Andrew Tate detained by Romanian authorities after UK warrant On March 11, the Tate brothers were apprehended by Romanian authorities again, after a warrant was issued by Westminster Magistrates Court in London, according to Sky News. The brothers were arrested on charges of sexual aggression that date back to between 2012 and 2015. A lawyer representing four women who accused Tate of sexual assault urged British police to immediately act after receiving information that he was planning to leave Romania, a statement said. This comes after apparent intentions to leave Romania ‘forever’, with Andrew stating he’d be leaving the country soon and “probably never coming back.” Andrew Tate set to be be extradited to UK after After appearing at the Bucharest Court of Appeal, it was ruled that Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan would be extradited to the UK following the conclusion of legal proceedings in Romania.

Their representatives state the Tate brothers “categorically reject all charges” and are “fully committed to challenging these accusations with unwavering determination and resolve.” According to BBC reports, their trial is not expected to start for several years, as it’s a complex case — where they face charges of human trafficking, rape, and forming a criminal gang. The Tates have stated their intentions to deny all charges.

  • Andrew Tate arrest, investigation, and allegations explained – Dexerto

    Andrew Tate arrest, investigation, and allegations explained Andrew Tate, along with his brother Tristan Tate, was detained by police in Romania on December 29 as part of an investigation into alleged criminal activity. This has split social media into two camps, with the first being “free the Tates,” and the other calling for the pair to be held accountable for their alleged offenses. As VICE TV is set to broadcast a special report on January 12, featuring women who have leveled accusations of rape and strangling against the controversial influencer, let’s run through everything that has happened since the arrest. Greta Thunberg vs Andrew Tate on Twitter – Dec 28, 2022 An exchange between Greta Thunberg and Andrew Tate has become one of the most-liked Twitter posts of all time. To kick things off, Tate decided to take a shot at the Swedish climate activist, tagging her account in a post. He said: “Hello Greta Thunberg. I have 33 cars,” listing the specs of each. “Please provide your email address so I can send a complete list of my car collection and their respective enormous emissions.” The 20-year-old snapped back, saying he had “small d*ck energy” – a topic that quickly went viral on social media. The pizza box – Dec 28, 2022 After 3.9 million likes racked up on the original post from Thunberg, social media users were eagerly anticipating a response. Soon after, Tate recorded a short video of himself smoking a cigar with a pizza box in front of him. He made a joke about how the box itself was not recycled. A rumor spread over social media about Romanian police tracking down the location of the eatery that prepared the pizza, recognizing he was in Romania, and moving forward with a house raid. Thunberg posted a reply on Twitter, again. “This is what happens when you don’t recycle your pizza boxes.” The rumor was later dismissed by authorities, as reported by Washington Post. A spokesperson for the DIICOT said it was not the pizza box, adding: “It was a hard job gathering all the evidence” for the months-long investigation. Andrew Tate arrested in raid of Romania home – Dec 29, 2022 Using the pizza box to confirm Tate was in Romania, he was subject to a house raid in his home, with the country’s authorities arresting both him and his brother Tristan Tate. They were detained on suspicion of human trafficking, rape, and forming an organized crime group. DIICOT confirmed they had been investigating a human trafficking ring since 2021, who were misleading victims into marriage. Four people were detained in the 24 hours of Tate being raided. Prosecutors told Reuters a cam girl business was subject to investigation. The arrest was sanctioned by the Directorate for the Investigation of Organized Crime and Terrorism in Romania, with a court in Bucharest extending the defendant’s detention by 30 days.

    Andrew Tate announces $100M crypto coin plans but claims it’s a joke Rumble: Tate SpeechAndrew Tate shared plans to launch a crypto coin backed with $100M of his own money, but later claimed that it was just a joke. Over the last few years, controversial influencer Andrew Tate has shared many of his opinions about things going on across social media and the internet. One of the big topics he’s talked about is crypto, having previously mentioned how much of a dislike he has for blockchain technology as a whole.

  • Andrew Tate accuses Logan Paul of taking steroids in new boxing challenge – Dexerto

    Andrew Tate accuses Logan Paul of taking steroids in new boxing challenge YouTube: FunkMasterMMA / Logan PaulControversial internet personality Andrew Tate has accused Logan Paul of using steroids, saying he’ll take on the YouTube star if he passes a drug test. Logan Paul is one of the leading content creators in the influencer-boxing game — but his next opponent is yet to be determined. After facing off against fellow influencer KSI and later Floyd Mayweather, Logan has gone on to build an NFT empire and has even scored an ongoing stint in the WWE. Although his return to the boxing ring is as yet uncertain, he’s been called out repeatedly by Andrew Tate in the months after the latter’s ban from social media. Tate’s been game to take on either Paul brother for some time now, but his latest challenge saw him levy a particularly hefty accusation against Logan. Tate recently appeared in another creator’s vlog, where he claimed that Paul is on steroids and challenged the YouTuber to pass a drug test before even considering meeting him in the ring. Andrew Tate says he’ll fight Logan Paul on one condition On top of that, Tate claimed that Paul would be easy game, acknowledging his physique but claiming he doesn’t have “technical” fighting skill. “If Logan can pass a drug test, I’ll whoop him any day, but he can’t, because he’s on f**kin’ a bunch of gear,” Tate claimed. “I’m completely clean, been clean my whole life, right? He’s f**kin’ taking everything, so if he passes a drug test, I’ll beat the f**k out of him.” “But he won’t take a drug test. He’s doing a bunch of steroids. I mean, he’s strong and fit, but he ain’t technical, is he? I’d dance around, hit him a few times.” (Topic begins at 1:49) A match between these two figures doesn’t look likely, as Paul has publicly decried Tate and urged his fellow influencers to avoid facing off with him in the boxing ring, fearing the consequences of giving the inflammatory personality a platform. For now, Logan hasn’t responded to Tate’s allegations… but they’re a popular pick for a fight if a recent ‘leaked’ card is to be believed.

The creator revealed during her January 17 stream that Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins had joined in on the conversations, allegedly offering to help the banned creator get his account back. While talking about it on stream, Poki revealed that Ninja and his wife had threatened to sue her for “defamation.” Andrew Schulz revealed his thoughts about the situation during his podcast, claiming that Jidion & Ninja are jealous of the female streamer’s success on the internet. Andrew Schulz thinks Jidion & Ninja are jealous On the January 21 episode of the Flagrant 2 Podcast, Andrew Schulz and his co-hosts dove into the “hate raid” drama surrounding the OfflineTV co-founder. As they continued to talk about the topic, the podcast host came to an agreement that they may not like Pokimane because they believe she’s playing a “character” to get people to like her more. Schulz revealed his opinion, saying, “Stop hating on her. If she wasn’t popping and wasn’t the number one most streamed person or whatever she is, I’m sure you wouldn’t be worried about her tactics. “[Jidion and Ninja] are gonna hate her because she has that number one spot and they want it.” Schulz continued: “There might be some jealousy going on. Ninja had his time in the sun, but he’s no longer there… maybe he’s a little jealous, too.” Andrew also explained that Tyler may have inserted himself into the drama between Jidion and Pokimane in an attempt to maintain a public eye on his channel. Blevins has yet to make a statement regarding his involvement in the issues between the two creators, but we’ll be sure to update when he does.

  • Andrew Schulz thinks Jake Paul would “f**k up” Connor McGregor – Dexerto

    Andrew Schulz thinks Jake Paul would “f**k up” Connor McGregor YouTube: FlagrantComedian Andrew Schulz has shared his thoughts about a possible Jake Paul vs Connor McGregor match, mentioning that he thinks Jake would “f**k Connor up.” Over the last few years, Jake Paul has been focusing on his boxing career. So far, he has been in the octagon with AnEsonGib, Nate Robinson, Ben Askren, and has had two fights with Tyron Woodley. He’s also made his fair share of attempts to organize a fight with Connor McGregor, who has continued to reject any offers — causing Jake Paul to take a personal shot at him in a recent video. Andrew Schulz has shared his thoughts about the potential fight, roasting McGregor in the process. Andrew Schulz thinks Jake would “F**k Connor up” In a recent episode of Flagrant, Andrew Schulz and the crew talked about Jake Paul’s recent video bashing Connor McGregor that he uploaded onto Twitter. After watching the video, the hosts began talking about how Paul and McGregor have continued to go back and forth with each other although they haven’t even announced a fight yet. This prompted Schulz to chime in with his thoughts: “If they do fight, Jake Paul is going to f**k Connor McGregor up.” (Topic starts at 17:20 in the video) Schulz also explained that Jake may be going back and forth with Connor on social media because it helps promote his upcoming fight with Hasim Rahman Jr. “He’s going to have to promote him because he’s going to have to promote everything for this fight because a lot of people don’t know Hasim Rahman,” he explained. Whether or not Paul vs McGregor will ever happen is still up in the air, but it’s clear that fans would definitely be interested in seeing it.

  • Andrew Schulz slams Noah Schnapp for leaking Doja Cat DMs – Dexerto

    Andrew Schulz slams Noah Schnapp for leaking Doja Cat DMs YouTube: FlagrantAndrew Schulz has revealed his thoughts on why Noah Schapp shouldn’t have leaked Doja Cat’s DM’s where she asked for Joseph Quinn’s number. It’s no secret that Stranger Things has taken over social media recently. Eddie Munson (played by Joseph Quinn) is one of the newest additions to the cast, and apparently, Doja Cat has an interest in the actor as she reached out to Noah Schnapp (Will Byers in the show) to get Quinn to “hit her up.” Noah promptly leaked the direct messages, causing a stir between him and Doja Cat. And now, Andrew Schulz has chimed in with his thoughts on the situation Andrew Schulz slams Noah Schnapp Starting off the conversation, Flagrant co-host Akaash Singh explained that he thinks Doja Cat messaging Noah to get in contact with Joseph Quinn was “embarrassing” and Andrew Schulz agreed. “Call your agent, your agent is gonna be able to connect to him,” Andrew explained. However, Doja Cat wasn’t the only one Schulz was critical of as he slammed Schnapp for leaking the messages in the first place. “You should never leak DMs. never leak private shit. I don’t care if it’s nudes or a private conversation, you don’t know what somebody’s more embarrassed about,” he explained. “We put all this value on nudes but some people might be way more comfortable with their nudes being out there than a private conversation.” (Topic starts at 46:12 in the video) During the conversation, Akaash argued that Noah Schnapp is only 17 years old and “didn’t know any better,” but some may argue that he is old enough to know whether or not he should have leaked the DMs considering he’s one of the main stars of Netflix’s most popular series. Either way, the possible damage is already done and Doja Cat isn’t happy about it.

  • Andrew Schulz says The Last of Us show proves HBO is the “GOAT” – Dexerto

    Andrew Schulz says The Last of Us show proves HBO is the “GOAT” HBO / YouTube: FLAGRANT CLIPSComedian Andrew Schulz is a huge fan of HBO’s The Last of Us series, saying the video-game inspired show is proof that the television network is “the GOAT.” The Last of Us is the latest triple-A video game franchise to get the Hollywood treatment — but this time, it’s spot-on. Fans of the post-apocalyptic games are raving about how accurate the show has been to its source material, even providing one-to-one comparisons between both mediums that are making gamers go gaga. The show has even gotten the biggest second-episode viewership bump in the company’s history, and it’s clear that both gamers and non-gamers alike are huge fans… and this includes Andrew Schulz. Andrew Schulz praises The Last of Us and Bella Ramsey Schulz spoke out on HBO’s hottest new show during a recent episode of the FLAGRANT podcast, where he raved about how the realism of the series really drew him in. “The Last of Us — fire. HBO are the f*cking GOATS,” he began. “The girl [Bella Ramsey] is a f*cking amazing actress. But we haven’t seen her really flex. We saw her flex in Game of Thrones. She was the f*ckin’ sh*t.” “What I thought was interesting about this was the recreation of society,” he continued. “What do we do when everything falls apart? …So it starts at least in Boston, what’s happening? How have they restructured it? What’s going on? It’s fire. It is a zombie show, but even the premise of it is amazing.” He went on to explain how the inclusion of the Cordyceps fungi and scientific explanations added extra realism to the show, drawing him in even further. “It’s a really plausible scenario to get me invested in a zombie-type thing,” he said. “And now I have reality, everything is based [on reality], and I’m still trying to run away from things that want to devour me.” Schulz’s comments about The Last of Us echo the sentiments of fans all over the net — one of whom decided to create a strikingly accurate costume of a ‘Clicker’ zombie that left viewers stunned.

  • Andrew Schulz says Logan Paul retired Floyd Mayweather: “He lost two rounds to a podcaster” – Dexerto

    Andrew Schulz says Logan Paul retired Floyd Mayweather: “He lost two rounds to a podcaster” YouTube: Flagrant 2 Clips / Showtime BoxingComedian Andrew Schulz argued that while Floyd Mayweather technically won his boxing match against Logan Paul, the popular YouTuber retired the championship boxer by showing how “old” and “slow” he has become. In the June 8 Flagrant 2 podcast, host Andrew Schulz explained why he was “impressed” with Logan Paul’s performance against Floyd Mayweather. The comedian hit out at boxing critics and experts who were not willing to give the 26-year-old any credit. The Instagram comedian also argued that Mayweather would not be fighting Jake Paul anymore after the popular YouTuber effectively retired the undefeated champion by making him realize that his age was finally catching up to him. Andrew Schulz explains how Logan Paul “retired” Floyd Mayweather During the Flagrant 2 episode, Schulz explained how Logan Paul shocked everyone by not getting knocked out and claimed the narrative for the fight shifted. “The stakes changed where Floyd had to stop Logan Paul to win. And Logan had to survive for him to win. Those were the rules emotionally. I’ve even said it, Floyd is gonna take him down. And it didn’t happen. Floyd tried he couldn’t do it,” he said. While the Instagram comedian acknowledged that Mayweather won the match in terms of points, he argued that the YouTuber going eight rounds with him made the boxer decide to retire. “Yeah, Logan retired Floyd again. That’s what people don’t realize. It’s facts. You can say whatever you want. Floyd said in the post-fight presser, he went from before this fight: “Jake can get it afterward. In fact, both of them can get it the same night” to afterward “I don’t think I’m doing these exhibitions anymore, I made a billion dollars. Everything is good, we are out of here.” Schulz admitted that his take on the situation pained him as he is a massive fan of the championship boxer. “It pains me to see what I saw. It was Michael Jordan on the Wizards. It just wasn’t there. Never in my life did I think I was gonna say that Floyd Mayweather barely beat a YouTube podcaster. I can’t believe I just said that sentence. Floyd Mayweather lost two rounds to a podcaster.” (Topic starts at 13:09) The Flagrant 2 creator called out boxing critics who said that Floyd was going to knock Logan out, only to shift their position after the fight. “Everyone starts making excuses for Floyd. People were paying to see a Paul brother get knocked out. And it didn’t happen. And that is a win for Logan. And you are lying if you are saying otherwise.” Andrew Schulz also pointed out that it was Mayweather who wanted the exhibition match to have “no judges” and “no decision.” The comedian said that if the championship boxer wanted to win by decision, he could have taken the risk but chose not to. “I think Logan was right. Floyd had the most to lose. Floyd won the fight, but he lost it. And hats off to Logan. Floyd’s own rules helped Logan.” Despite his take on the much-hyped match, the stand-up comedian reiterated that he is a massive fan of Mayweather. He, however, felt that not enough people were willing to give the 26-year-old YouTuber more praise for lasting a full fight with the championship fighter. “I don’t understand why NOBODY willing to give credit to this guy. Floyd was in there with Conor McGregor, and McGregor got his a** kicked WAY MORE than Logan Paul.”

  • Andrew Schulz says Chris Rock was “soft” to not retaliate to Will Smith slap – Dexerto

    Andrew Schulz says Chris Rock was “soft” to not retaliate to Will Smith slap YouTube: Flagrant 2 / The GuardianAndrew Schulz claims that Chris Rock looked weak after Will Smith slapped him at the Oscars. The Flagrant 2 podcast host argued that the legendary comedian was more concerned with his Hollywood career than defending himself. On March 27, Hollywood celebrated its 94th Academy Awards in Los Angeles, California. The televised award show was overshadowed however when actor Will Smith stormed the stage and slapped Chris Rock after the host made a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett. Andrew Schulz reacted to the viral incident during his Flagrant 2 podcast. While he condemned Smith for not being able to take a joke, the YouTube comedian claimed that Chris Rock looked “soft” for not addressing the assault. Andrew Schulz claims Chris Rock had weak response to Will Smith Oscar slap The shocking moment happened towards the end of the Oscars event when Chris Rock made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s hair. After being slapped by Will Smith on stage, the actor screamed obscenities from his seat at the stunned comedian. According to Andrew Schulz however, Chris Rock should have done more. “Chris was about to unload. He needed to,” he said. “We would have been fine if he went crazy. Bleep him out. He got slapped on TV. Literally slapped on the Super Bowl for losers. I don’t think Chris is p**y for not hitting Will back, I think he is because he was worried about his career.” The Flagrant 2 host argued that Rock did nothing because he wanted to be in more movies. “He didn’t hit him back so he could be in Zootopia 4. That’s the sad thing. That’s the soft thing!” Schulz exclaimed. (Topic starts at 7:59) The YouTube comic also added that Rock should have at least addressed the situation with words. “I empathize. But you got to address that s**t, fam. You got to start going in,” he said. “At least say “I’ll see you backstage” or “Hey Will, some of us have more professionalism, some of us have a little more decorum. The show must go on. But I’ll see you backstage.’” Although he was critical of Chris Rock’s response to the situation, Schulz also called Will Smith a “p**y” due to attacking someone much smaller in height and weight than him. Interestingly, the YouTuber said he’s also dealt with similar backlash for a joke before. In Harlem, Andrew Schulz said an angry viewer punched him after he roasted the audience member. However, he claims he responded to the situation, unlike Rock.

  • Andrew Schulz reveals Joe Rogan cried after Israel Adesanya defended him over racism scandal – Dexerto

    Andrew Schulz reveals Joe Rogan cried after Israel Adesanya defended him over racism scandal YouTube: Flagrant 2 Clips / PowerfulJREYouTube comedian Andrew Schulz revealed Joe Rogan’s emotional reaction to UFC Champion Israel Adesanya defending him over racism allegations. In February, Joe Rogan became embroiled in controversy after a viral video documented his use of racial slurs in classic JRE podcast episodes. Angry, critics organized a boycott of Spotify over his past comments. Despite the growing backlash, Israel Adesanya came to Rogan’s defense during UFC 271’s pre-fight. According to Andrew Schulz, the 54-year-old comedian had an emotional reaction to the Middleweight Champion standing up for him. Andrew Schulz reveals Rogan’s emotional reaction to Israel Adesanya defending him For the February 18th Flagrant 2 podcast, Andrew Schulz sat down with the popular UFC fighter to discuss a wide variety of topics including Adesanya’s defense of Rogan at UFC 271 pre-fight conference. The YouTube comedian then revealed Rogan had an emotional reaction to the viral moment. “I don’t know if you and Rogan spoke, but I was talking to him about it and he said it made him tear up man,” he said. The UFC Champion put his hand over his heart and responded, “I love that man.” Israel Adesanya then opened up further about why he defended the JRE podcast host. “We know what’s going on. That’s why I said f**k the noise,” he said. “Don’t focus on what they want you to focus on, focus on why they’re cancelling Rogan. Why now?” The UFC fighter then revealed his suspicions about the origin of the Rogan slur video. “Do you know how much manpower it takes to go through every single episode of the JRE?” he asked. “They probably had a whole team on that s**t. Trying to find every time he used the word. They would have had like 10 people on that s**t. And it’s just like, why now? Just use your brain.” The Middleweight Champion clarified that while Rogan was wrong to have said racial slurs, he believed his apology was sincere. “Yeah, he was wrong. He shouldn’t have said that. He said “I’m sorry” and that was the most sincere apology I’ve ever seen. Not some scripted, Hollywood, my manager wrote this down for me. I’m like, what more do you want?!” Israel Adesanya also shared his theory on why the JRE podcast was being cancelled. “He has the biggest platform on planet earth. He can’t be controlled,” he said. “So the people, the powers that be, are like let’s cancel him.” The star predicted that another wave of controversy around Rogan would pop up as his critics will keep trying to get him removed from Spotify.

  • Andrew Schulz reveals big lesson MrBeast can take from Squid Game recreation – Dexerto

    Andrew Schulz reveals big lesson MrBeast can take from Squid Game recreation YouTube: Andrew Schulz, MrBeastAndrew Schulz revealed that he has a big lesson that MrBeast can take from his viral Squid Game video – and it involves recording more “mainstream” content. On November 24, YouTuber Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson uploaded a video of his one-of-a-kind rendition of the hit Netflix show, Squid Game. Despite drama around his choice to recreate the series, it quickly became one of his highest performing videos with over 142 million views. During the December 3 episode of the Flagrant 2 podcast, host Andrew Schulz revealed a big lesson that MrBeast can take from his viral take on Squid Game… but it means Donaldson might have to create more “mainstream” content. Andrew Schulz big lesson for MrBeast Schulz said: “He’s been tapping into the YouTube community. But if you’re not someone who watches YouTube regularly, you’re likely not gonna know who MrBeast is, because the videos he uploads don’t tap into mainstream culture.” He goes on to explain that, thanks to the Squid Game video, casual viewers who happen to be looking up reactions to Squid Game will now have a chance to find out about one of the world’s most popular YouTubers. He added: “My mom might not even be on YouTube [normally], but if she wants to see something, she’s going to look it up. I wonder if he starts to bring topicality into his videos, he’ll start to go ‘Oh wow, this is how I start to cross over into the mainstream.’” (Topic starts at 1:30) Andrew and his co-host, Akaash Singh, agree that if MrBeast starts doing more videos to lead him into mainstream media, there will be more creators trying to copy him. However, they also believe that if that does happen, nobody will be able to have as high production quality as Jimmy. Before the release of his Squid Game renditions, the YouTuber gained popularity for his extreme challenges with huge value prizes – like his $500,000 game of tag and buying everything someone can fit into a triangle at the store video. It’s unknown whether or not MrBeast has plans to continue his streak of mainstream viral videos, so we’ll have to wait and see what the creator has up his sleeve next.

  • Andrew Schulz responds to Dave Chappelle’s “dismissive” comments on Joe Rogan Podcast – Dexerto

    Andrew Schulz responds to Dave Chappelle’s “dismissive” comments on Joe Rogan Podcast Netflix / YouTube: JRE ClipsComedian Andrew Schulz addressed Dave Chappelle’s comments about his brand of online comedy. The Instagram artist felt the Chappelle’s Show creator was being “dismissive” of him while on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. During the May 11 episode of the Flagarant 2 podcast, comedian Andrew Schulz responded to comments Dave Chappelle had made about him while doing an interview with Joe Rogan. The 37-year-old Instagram creator argued that the stand-up comedian was being a little dismissive, and argued that he got famous for his stint on the Chappelle’s Show first before doing live comedy. Andrew Schulz responds to Dave Chappelle Dave Chappelle finally made his long-requested solo appearance on the May 7 episode of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. The two discussed a variety of topics which included fellow comedian Andrew Schulz’ brand of comedy. While the MMA commentator praised the 37-year-old’s Instagram videos and Netflix special, Schulz Saves America, as “innovative”, Chapelle said it wasn’t for him or something he was interested in. Addressing the take, Schulz said that he understood why he would be off put by his work at first. “I would have reacted the same way as Dave, given how I was described. If Dave has no clue who I am in terms of stand-up. Joe’s like describing this YouTuber Instagram comedy. So I understand that first reaction,” he said. The Instagram comic said he found the overall opinion to be dismissive. “But then when Joe was like “No he’s a stand-up it’s different, he found a way to evolve within the times,” I think he was a little bit dismissive to it. And he’s like “that’s not my type of comedy.” I guess the only push back I would give there is Dave is a household name not because of stand-up, but because a different type of comedy.” (Topic starts at 4:40) The 37-year old was making reference to the fact that Dave Chappelle’s 2003 hit show revolved around skits and not live comedy: “Sketch show is what made him a household name. Like if you are thinking about iconic Chappelle lines, you’re thinking of lines from the show. It’s not like he didn’t make it through stand-up, he used something else and then when we saw his stand-up we were like ‘Holy s**t, this guy’s prolific.’” The Flagrant 2 host also defended making his online comedy sketches during lockdowns, stating that not every comedian could afford to do live shows with necessary medical safety protocols. “We’re also not multi-millionaires, who we can test every-person who comes to do a show in a barn. I don’t have a barn. Most people don’t have barns. There were limitations to what we could. And we worked around those limitations.” Read More: Evander Holyfield wants to fight Jake Paul – However, Andrew Schulz wanted to make it clear that people were overreacting over Chappelle’s comments. “People made too much of it, like there is some beef. Like he’s hating on me or shade. I really don’t think it was that,” he said. He also went on to praise the creator numerous times, calling him “brilliant” in stand-up and one of the “original legends” of the art form.

  • Andrew Schulz reacts to Chrissy Teigen getting canceled: “Your righteousness made others feel bad” – Dexerto

    Andrew Schulz reacts to Chrissy Teigen getting canceled: “Your righteousness made others feel bad” YouTube: Flagrant 2 Clips / VogueComedian Andrew Schulz claims Chrissy Teigen was a victim of her own “wokeness” during a May episode of the Flagrant 2 podcast. The Instagram entertainer argued that the popular model was canceled due to being a ‘hypocrite.’ Stand-up comic Andrew Schulz reacted to Chrissy Teigen being canceled online after the influencer became embroiled in a controversy over old social media posts resurfacing. The popular Instagram comedian explained on his podcast that people wanted the model to have a downfall after she spent years being “righteous” towards others on Twitter. Andrew Schulz says Chrissy Teigen was a victim of her own “virtue signaling” In May 2021, influencer Chrissy Teigen became embroiled in controversy after old tweets of her bullying reality star Courtney Stodden resurfaced online. Andrew Schulz addressed the situation during an episode of his Flagrant 2 podcast, where he was critical of her for telling a 16-year-old to “kill herself”. “Chrissy is DMing her ‘kill herself’ because she doesn’t like the fact that she is a gold digger, and making money off her body. But for her to come out and just kind of s**t all over this girl in that way is crazy, because she is so woke and progressive on Twitter,” the comedian said. Schulz then argued that the reason people were being so harsh to her was her behavior on social media: “And that is why people are jumping down her throat. Because they are like, “Yo, you can’t be out here [and] say that [and then] you are out here bullying this girl. Now if she wasn’t so virtuous on Twitter, I don’t think anyone gives a f**k.” (Topic starts at 1:43) The Flagrant 2 host ended his rant by claiming that people became invested in her failing due to her righteousness. “Once you are virtuous on Twitter and you draw a line in the sand. That’s the thing with righteousness, your righteousness sometimes makes others feel like s**t. And if you make me feel like s**t, I can’t wait for your downfall.” Despite the criticism, Andrew Schulz and his co-hosts agreed that Chrissy Teigan receives too much hate. However, the Instagram star said he found it “wild” that anyone would message a 16-year-old and tell them to harm themselves.

  • Andrew Schulz praises Joe Rogan for hitting back at Neil deGrasse Tyson: “I’m sick of this dork” – Dexerto

    Andrew Schulz praises Joe Rogan for hitting back at Neil deGrasse Tyson: “I’m sick of this dork” YouTube: Flagrant 2 Clips / JRE ClipsPopular comedian Andrew Schulz called out Neil deGrasse Tyson for being ‘dismissive’ and “condescending” while a guest on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. The Instagram personality praised the UFC commentator for putting the astrophysicist “in his place.” Neil deGrasse Tyson sat down for a three-hour interview with Joe Rogan on May 26. The discussion became tense after the Spotify host had enough of the 62-year-old scientist being dismissive of subjects and challenged him with an epic rant. Reacting to the viral moment during the Flagrant 2 podcast, Andrew Schulz praised Rogan for finally pushing back against the renowned astrophysicist. The Instagram comedian explained to viewers that he was “sick of the dork.” Andrew Schulz calls out Neil deGrasse Tyson’s behavior Andrew Schulz launched into his criticism of Tyson during the June 1 episode. “He always annoys me. But King Dork Neil deGrasse Tyson was on Rogan, and Rogan put him in his place, bro. That s**t was so f**king beautiful. They were talking about UFOs, and you know King Dork has to be bah humbug on everything, rain on everybody’s parade,” he said. The Flagrant 2 comedian then explained why he finds the astrophysicist to be so annoying. “He’s so dismissive of everything he doesn’t agree with. Like you don’t even bring it up to him. It’s so patronizing and so arrogant to assume if something is of no interest to you then it should be of no interest to anybody.” In particular, the stand-up comic took issue with Tyson shooting down Rogan’s topic about aliens by arguing intelligent life would have no interest in humans. Responding, Schulz jokingly said, “Why would we care about stars then? What’s so special about stars, DORK! Little specs of dust in the sky. In fact, the stuff you are studying ain’t even around no more. It’s gone by the time it reaches us, stupid! You study things that don’t exist, like UFO’s you f**king idiot!” Continuing his rant, the Instagram content creator praised Rogan for hitting back at the 62-year-old’s argument. “And Joe said to the guy “Why would they not be interested in us? We can nuke the world a thousand times over. We have tiny disputes that end up into massive wars. We are so fascinating.” And so he gave this long spiel and I’m like YES, put that motherf**king dork in his place.” Rogan’s explosive response to Neil deGrasse Tyson happened during the May 26th episode of the Joe Rogan Experience. The UFC commentator became visibly irritated after being shot down and interrupted numerous times throughout the discussion before finally pushing back. Andrew Schulz concluded his take on the situation by saying it felt good to see Rogan finally stand up to Neil deGrasse Tyson. “It just made me feel so good for Rogan to do that.” Despite his criticisms, he praised the 62-year-old’s incredible wealth of knowledge when it came to science. However, he argued that the astrophysicist made a mistake when discussing aliens. “The second they got into that UFO thing, now you are in Rogan’s wheelhouse. So now you are in the unprovable. If you want to go into the provable s**t – that’s you. But the unprovable? Buckle up!”

  • Andrew Schulz hits back at Ellen DeGeneres’ retirement: “The facade is over” – Dexerto

    Andrew Schulz hits back at Ellen DeGeneres’ retirement: “The facade is over” YouTube: Flagrant 2 Clips / TheEllenShowPopular comedian Andrew Schulz slammed Ellen DeGeneres’ explanation for ending The Ellen DeGeneres Show during the Flagrant 2 podcast. The Instagram star argued that she was forced to retire based on public opinion – not by her own choice. In May, Ellen DeGeneres announced that she was ending her daytime show after 18 years. The decision came in the wake of the 63-year-old being rocked with a wave of allegations from co-workers and guests that claimed she perpetuated a toxic workplace environment. Despite the controversy, she insists she made the decision to retire because her job was no longer “challenging.” One person not buying her statement, however, is stand-up comic Andrew Schulz. During his May 18 podcast, the Instagram star called out DeGeneres and claimed her explanation was “odd” and “un-self-aware.” The popular comedian also argued that The Ellen Show was ending due to how viewers now perceived her. Andrew Schulz on Ellen DeGeneres’ retirement DeGeneres’ retirement statement came under fire during an episode of Flagrant 2 after the podcast reacted to her explanation that she was quitting due to The Ellen Show no longer being “challenging” for her. Responding, host Schulz said, “What an odd, completely un-self-aware reaction.” The stand-up comic explained that he thought Ellen was being forced to retire after viewers discovered her on-show personality was not entirely real: “That’s not the reason you don’t have a show anymore. Right? The façade is over. Like people know that you aren’t nice.” The 37-year old then went on to add, “They found out you were playing a character. That’s why it’s over. You didn’t really make the decision. The people made the decision.” He then said that maybe her challenge all along was to try to get her own show canceled. “What if she wanted that show to tank this whole time? And now that it finally is, she’s like “this isn’t a challenge” I finally did it.” He then cracked a joke about claims that DeGeneres was “unpleasant” to work for. “I would just scare people every episode. They kept coming on. I make people dance in the audience. I’m an a**hole to everybody. Some guy was eating a tuna sandwich and I fired him. I said nobody can eat tuna on the whole show. I was the worst boss ever. The ratings kept going up up up,” he joked. The Flagrant 2 podcast was one of the first places to put a major spotlight on The Ellen Show allegations from current and past employees. After the story went viral in 2020, the daytime host came under intense scrutiny. While she maintains she is retiring on her own decision, critics such as Andrew Schulz believe public perception played a much larger role in her stepping down.

Mark Gagon was the first to chime in on the issues. “I don’t love his content but I don’t know if he should be kicked off platforms unless he’s using the platform to do crime,” he said. “If he’s using social media to try and recruit women for a webcam thing, I could see why the cooperation would be concerned.” He then went on to add that what he does say is “intentionally inflammatory” but is still unsure if “he’s being serious and being genuinely misogynistic.” Andrew Schulz spoke about Tate and how the situation of his banning is a “tricky thing when someone in his position starts affecting culture and that’s probably what they’re concerned about.” Singh admitted that he initially “didn’t think people took it seriously” but, after hearing others online talk about how young children are catching on to Andrew Tate’s views and beliefs, is concerned about what the dialogue will be like when kids go back to school. “You don’t want to see that sh*t happen with kids.” Singh then spoke about why he thinks Tate has gotten such a high level of coverage and what makes him stand apart from others who similarly voice and encourage misogynist views. “The thing that makes him so sticky is he is funnier than all of those guys and he’s a more unique thinker in the sense that he presents his ideas…he’s not dumb.”

  • Andrew Schulz explains why Tyson Fury is better than Muhammad Ali & Mike Tyson – Dexerto

    Andrew Schulz explains why Tyson Fury is better than Muhammad Ali & Mike Tyson YouTube: Flagrant 2 Clips / ESPNPopular Instagram comedian Andrew Schulz explained why he believes Tyson Fury is the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time and could even beat Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson. Andrew Schulz gave his reaction to Tyson Fury’s victory against Deontay Wilder after the heavyweight landed an 11th-round knockout against the Bronze Bomber in their October 9 fight. During the Flagrant 2 podcast episode, the comedian revealed the trait the Gypsy King has that would have him beating former boxing legends Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali. Andrew Schulz claims Tyson Fury would beat Muhammad Ali & Mike Tyson The stand-up comic made the declaration after discussing the British fighter’s victory in the Fury vs Wilder III trilogy event. After praising the 33-year-old champion, Schulz argued that he could beat past legends in the sport due to height and weight. “I started thinking historically who could beat him, and I think Tyson Fury is the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time,” he said. “Just tell me the guy who can beat him? You’re telling me 6 foot 9 inches Tyson Fury is gonna be beaten by 5 foot 10 Mike Tyson?” While the comedian got pushback from his podcast co-hosts, he continued his argument, and said, “Muhammad Ali, what he’s 6 foot 3, and he was probably hovering around 208 and 211 pounds when he was fighting. Fury is 277 pounds!” (Topic starts at 6:25) When former champion George Foreman was brought up, Schulz shot it down, pointing out that Ali had beat him. “George Foreman is the closest. But if Ali is out-boxing Foreman, imagine what’s gonna happen when a guy 6’9 is in front of him and with great foot movement, fast hands,” he explained. As far as who could possibly go toe-to-toe with Fury, it would be Lennox Lewis according to the Instagram comic: “He was big and tall. He had great reach and power. But if Lennox Lewis is the only one that can beat Tyson Fury, and nobody considers Lewis the greatest of all time, Tyson’s the greatest!” While not everyone may agree with Andrew Schulz, the comic reiterated that Fury’s height and weight gives him a major advantage. “They’re so much taller then other people they’re fighting, their opponents have to take risk in order to hit them.”

  • Andrew Schulz explains why Travis Scott isn’t responsible for Astroworld disaster – Dexerto

    Andrew Schulz explains why Travis Scott isn’t responsible for Astroworld disaster YouTube: Flagrant 2 Clips / SHOWstudioInstagram comedian Andrew Schulz revealed why he thinks people shouldn’t hold Travis Scott responsible for the Astroworld tragedy, before going on to explain how the Grammy award-winning artist could be in hot water legally. Chart-topping artist Travis Scott has come under fire after eight people lost their lives during his Astroworld Tour in Houston, Texas on November 5, 2021. Some critics claim the ‘Sicko Mode’ rapper is partially responsible for not stopping the show. Comedian Andrew Schulz has a different take, and on his Flagrant 2 podcast, argued that the singer isn’t responsible for the reported crowd crush that happened during the event and that there were factors possibly out of his control. Andrew Schulz gives his take on Travis Scott Astroworld tragedy During the Flagrant 2 podcast episode, host Andrew Schulz argued that concert attendees who acted like a “mob” share some of the responsibility when things got out of control. “I don’t hold Travis responsible the same way I don’t hold Trump responsible for inciting violence,” he said. He continued, “You can say something, but if someone actually does it, they should be personally accountable for that. Especially if they are an adult.” The stand-up comic said lawsuits were still going to focus on how he influenced the crowd. “If the issue was overcrowding then maybe those that came through the crashed gate did so because they felt Travis was telling them to do that,” he said. “The lawsuits are going to say he told people to crash this s**t. And the people who crashed it caused the overcrowding which caused concertgoers to be squeezed and trampled.” He then asked, “How much can you really hype the crowd? How much can you reward that behavior?” before adding that he thinks the insurance for the event was going to zero in on Travis Scott’s behavior. “The insurance company is going to do everything in their power to convince the courts, or whoever, that Travis Scott made these people rush the stage,” he said. Schulz argued that the rapper’s marketing style of hyping up audiences to get rowdy would be impacted by this incident. “If concert promoters or artists know they are on the hook for crowd behavior, please believe any further event they are promoting is going to have very different rules so they can avoid another payment,” he stated. Despite his argument, Andrew Schulz also clarified that he didn’t know all the facts as the concert incident is still under investigation. However, he concluded by reiterating that he thinks Travis Scott’s history of hyping up his crowd would soon come under heavy scrutiny.

  • Andrew Schulz explains why Jake Paul’s loss was “best thing to happen to him” – Dexerto

    Andrew Schulz explains why Jake Paul’s loss was “best thing to happen to him” YouTube: FlagrantStand up comedian Andrew Schulz gave his take on Jake Paul’s recent loss to Tummy Fury and explained why he feels the loss could be a beneficial outcome for the YouTube star. In the latest episode of Schulz’s podcast Flagrant, the cast and guest Charlamagne Tha God decided to discuss Jake Paul’s recent fight. Mentioning that the loss to Tommy Fury, his first boxing loss, might have been the best outcome for the YouTuber, financially that is. The conversation started off with Schulz complementing both Jake and Tommy Fury for putting on a good fight. Saying that Jake and Fury both showed great adjustments mid-fight, and highlighting the tenacity they both showed. Despite the praise, Charlamange argued the opposite, claiming that both weren’t great boxers, and that Jake hadn’t fought a “proper” boxer in his career to that point, which was why he lost. Schulz responded, “I think this loss was the best thing to happen to Jake.” Stunned, Charlemagne asked why? Schulz explained, “The money fights for Jake, in my opinion, is not fighting real boxers. The money fights for Jake are fighting celebrities.” The loss, he explained, would incentivize other celebrities to challenge Jake in the ring rather than “real” boxers. As Schulz said, “if he beats Tommy, if I’m KSI, I’m going ‘I’m not fighting this motherf***er, this guy is a legit amazing boxer, he just beat a guy who dedicated his life to boxing.” As Schulz’s co-host, Akaash Singh, put it, “if he beats Fury, he would’ve gone from a celebrity who boxes to a boxer in our eyes.” And Schulz further explained, “then he can only fight real boxers, and then he’d have harder fights for less money.” As Schulz saw it, Jake is most likely not interested in the boxing aspects of the fights, rather is in it for financial gain, and this outcome was most likely the best outcome for the YouTube superstar. The superstar has indeed earned an eye-watering amount from the fight, claiming he made $30 million dollars that night.

  • Andrew Schulz explains why Jake Paul would be successful in the UFC – Dexerto

    Andrew Schulz explains why Jake Paul would be successful in the UFC YouTube: Flagrant 2 Clips / JOEInstagram comedian Andrew Schulz explained why fans would actually want to see Jake Paul fight in the UFC. Andrew Schulz and his co-hosts reacted to the surprising results of UFC 269 during the December 14 Flagrant 2 podcast. After praising Sean O’Malley for his entertaining performance, the comedian explained why YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul would actually be successful in MMA. Andrew Schulz claims Jake Paul would be successful in the UFC While discussing the UFC 269’s winners and losers, Schulz argued that casual viewers care more about personalities rather then who is technically the best fighter. The comedian claimed that Welterweight Champion Kamaru Usman would make more money fighting people viewers hate such as Jake Paul. Read More: Tyson Fury blasts Jake and Logan Paul – “We love Kamaru, but Jake Paul is going to bring viewers to the fight,” he said. “So honestly if I’m Kamaru, I’m just fighting mother f**kers that people hate if I want to be the hero. I think you’re crazy if you don’t think people would want to watch a Jake Paul MMA fight against Kamaru.” Schulz retiterated that he wasn’t talking about skill level, rather that viewers simply just want to see Jake Paul lose in a match. “That’s all I’m saying. Casual viewers just want to see somebody win or lose, not skilled displayed. That’s for those that love the sport.” According to Andrew Schulz, skilled champions like Usman won’t make as much money as fighters such as Conor McGregor or Sean O’Malley who actively promote their fights with outrageous behavior. “Usman will make less money because of it,” he said. “He needs to fight people who bring those antics. Kamaru is in the gym, he’s working and is the best. It’s undeniable. But people won’t care to see him win his title or lose it if they don’t personally connect to him. But they might care about his opponent.” Read More: How to watch Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley 2 – Based on Schulz argument, Jake Paul does seem to fit all the criteria of a fighter viewers want to see lose. Who knows, maybe the problem child will eventually get into the Octagon someday.

  • Andrew Schulz explains why Jake Paul is “underdog” in Anderson Silva fight – Dexerto

    Andrew Schulz explains why Jake Paul is “underdog” in Anderson Silva fight YouTube: Flagrant/Jake PaulAndrew Schulz believes Jake Paul is the “underdog” for his fight with Anderson Silva, but isn’t putting it past the YouTuber to pull off an upset. After his planned fights for August were scrapped, Jake Paul quickly set his sights on returning to the ring in October. That return finally happens on October 29, as he steps in between the ropes to fight Anderson ‘The Spider’ Silva. The fight with the UFC legend is a bit different from the other MMA fighters he’s fought in the boxing ring, seeing as Silva has got a fair bit of boxing experience under his belt and is a renowned striker. After wrapping up his review of UFC 280, Andrew Schulz touched on the fight during his October 25 episode of the Flagrant Podcast, suggesting Jake is going into it on the back foot. Andrew Schulz says Jake Paul is “underdog” against Anderson Silva “I think Jake can pull it off, I know it sounds crazy but I think Jake can pull it off,” Schulz said. Though, his co-host Akaash noted the YouTuber might have some serious ring rust after last fighting almost a year ago. “Jake might have gotten better in the last year but that was like a year ago,” he replied. “And Woodley got some licks in. (Anderson) is a much better boxer and that’s where I’d like to see Jake win, but I don’t know.” Schulz noted that Anderson is a better striker than Woodley and has more experience under his belt, which makes Jake a bit of an “underdog” for the fight. “It’s so tricky. Every time you go Jake is not going to do it, he does and at a certain point in time you’ve got to roll with him,” he added. Timestamp of 1:33:18 The Flagrant podcast host stated that he is excited for the bout and hopes it does well from a pay-per-view perspective, especially as plenty of MMA fans are curious about what Anderson does. Some bookmakers have got Jake as a slight underdog, which backs up Schulz’s take but at the end of the day, it only takes one punch.

  • Andrew Schulz explains why IShowSpeed’s Valorant ban is “unfortunate” – Dexerto

    Andrew Schulz explains why IShowSpeed’s Valorant ban is “unfortunate” YouTube: Flagrant2/IShowspeedFlagrant 2 Podcast host Andrew Schulz explained his thoughts on the recent IShowSpeed drama, saying it’s unfortunate that Speed doesn’t have a mentor to keep him out of trouble as he goes viral. 17-year-old IShowSpeed has smashed through YouTube records throughout his career, gaining over half a million subscribers on the platform in just a week’s time back in 2021. However, this meteoric rise hasn’t been without a bit of controversy. Just recently, a clip of Speed making “sexist” comments went viral on social media, prompting Riot to ban his account across all their games. He posted an apology video shortly thereafter. Flagrant 2 co-host Andrew Schulz has explained his thoughts surrounding the recent controversy, saying that it’s “unfortunate” Speed doesn’t have a mentor. Andrew Schulz “feels bad” for IShowSpeed During an April 12 episode of Flagrant 2, Schulz and his co-host, Akaash Singh, brought up Speed’s recent controversy as it went viral on Twitter just days before. The duo agreed that what Speed said was “crazy,” but Andrew expanded on his thoughts. Schulz explained: “At 17, you’re not thinking about the rest of your life… He’s probably making millions of dollars, and he made those millions of dollars saying the wildest s**t he can think of.” One of the other crew members mentioned that it’s hard to tell if Speed is joking with his comments or not, and that the YouTuber is crossing a fine line. “I just feel bad that it’s obvious that he doesn’t have anyone in his corner giving him ‘game,’” Schulz continued. “It’s just unfortunate… this is one of those things that makes me sad. He needs a mentor that tells him, ‘If you say these things, you will get canceled.’” (Topic starts at 2:27 in video) Andrew Schulz’s comments are similar to popular Twitch streamer Asmongold’s — who went on record slamming critics calling for Speed’s ban on April 7. Speeds apologized for his comments, mentioning that he will continue to grow and get better. We’ll have to wait to see what the future brings.

  • Andrew Schulz explains why he thinks Dana White “hates” Jake Paul – Dexerto

    Andrew Schulz explains why he thinks Dana White “hates” Jake Paul Flagrant 2 / Instagram: @danawhite / YouTube: Jake PaulInstagram comedian Andrew Schulz revealed why he thinks UFC President Dana White really “hates” Jake Paul. The stand-up comedian explained how the YouTube problem child is hurting MMA CEO’s finances. During the August 31 episode of the Flagrant 2 podcast, host Andrew Schulz opened up about his wild theory about how Dana White really feels about Jake Paul. The Instagram comedian revealed his take after claiming the YouTuber “embarrassed” former UFC champion Tyron Woodley during their Showtime boxing contest on August 28. Andrew Schulz explains why Dana White really “hates” Jake Paul In the latest Flagrant 2 podcast, Andrew Schulz reacted to the aftermath of Jake Paul defeating Tyron Woodley in a split decision during their boxing bout. According to the Instagram comedian, the ex-Disney star is now causing serious damage to the UFC Ceo’s business by “embarrassing” his former MMA fighters. “[Jake Paul] is going to keep driving that thorn into [Dana White’s] side now Jake has a legit win. Ben Askren was an incredibly effective fighter, but Tyron looked like an athlete. Chiseled! He was a puncher, and an elite UFC striker just got destroyed by a Disney star! I’ll repeat that: An elite UFC striker gets demolished by a Disney star,” he said. Schulz then argued that Jake Paul’s continued success is now hurting White’s company. “It’s bad for the f**king brand. An elite UFC striker gets his biggest payday ever and gets demolished.” The stand-up comic also theorized that White wouldn’t send out one of his best UFC fighters such as Nate Diaz or Conor McGregor to fight the YouTuber as it would further damage his brand if they lost to the 24-year-old. During the discussion, Flagrant 2 co-host Akaash Singh pointed out that Jake Paul has made UFC fighters notice how little pay they are getting. “They’re all noticing. And Jake Paul is calling it out so they are noticing it more. They’re gonna start asking [Dana White] why are you cutting off the biggest payday in my life, in a sport where I risk my life?” Theories aside, Dana White has gone on record in a past August interview, stating, “I don’t hate the kid. Is he f**king annoying? Yeah, he’s annoying.” So it seems that the CEO doesn’t actually hate the YouTuber. Although if Jake keeps defeating former UFC fighters, maybe Andrew Schulz’s theory could eventually play out.

  • Andrew Schulz explains why Elon Musk should be on Twitter’s board of directors – Dexerto

    Andrew Schulz explains why Elon Musk should be on Twitter’s board of directors YouTube: PewDiePie, Flagrant 2 Clips / TwitterComedian and podcast host Andrew Schulz explained why he thinks Elon Musk would be a great fit for Twitter’s board of directors following his massive investment in the platform. Tesla CEO Elon Musk broke the internet after purchasing $2.9 billion in Twitter stock earlier this month, officially becoming the social media giant’s largest shareholder with a 9% stake in the company. Shortly after the purchase, Musk was appointed to Twitter’s board of directors and instantly proposed some major changes to the site — including the long-awaited ‘edit’ feature. However, Musk walked back his decision to join Twitter’s board shortly afterwards. Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal opened up on the situation in a transparent tweet, claiming that the site will still “remain open to his input” in spite of his withdrawal. Elon has decided not to join our board. I sent a brief note to the company, sharing with you all here. pic.twitter.com/lfrXACavvk — Parag Agrawal (@paraga) April 11, 2022 Andrew Schulz argues that Elon Musk should be on Twitter board Before Musk walked away from Twitter’s board, though, comedian Andrew Schulz shared his thoughts on the subject, claiming that Musk would be an excellent addition to the site’s directors. “You want him on the board!” he argued during an episode of the Flagrant 2 podcast. “You want one of the most successful humans in history, especially in the tech sector, to be on the board of an app.” “He’s the best Twitter account,” comedian and co-host Akaash Singh added. “So, of course you want that guy representing your brand. …that’s the guy who should own the majority of Twitter.” Schulz’s comments came before news of Musk’s departure from the board was made public. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like Musk is interested in being on Twitter’s board despite his big investment — but it seems like he’ll have some major sway in future changes, no matter what. Despite questioning if the platform was “dying” right after his $3B purchase, Musk’s proposed changes could bring some life into the app, although some users — like Joe Rogan, for example — question if the board has to listen to him in terms of banning certain individuals from the platform.

  • Andrew Schulz defends West Elm Caleb amid viral TikTok drama – Dexerto

    Andrew Schulz defends West Elm Caleb amid viral TikTok drama TikTok: kellsbellsbaby / YouTube: Flagrant 2 Clips‘Flagrant 2’ podcast host Andrew Schulz defended ‘West Elm Caleb’ after the furniture designer went viral on TikTok when multiple women claimed he ghosted them. Around mid-January, West Elm furniture designer Caleb Hunter went viral across multiple social media platforms after numerous NYC women on TikTok began sharing their stories of matching with him on the dating app ‘Hinge.’ According to these women, 25-year-old Caleb would ‘love bomb’ them and, after going on one or two dates — or in some cases, merely exchanging texts — he would allegedly “ghost” them. The women claimed that Caleb would copy and paste text messages and even sent them the exact same Spotify playlists, which he’d purportedly made ‘just for them.’ So on tiktok there are dozens of NY women telling stories about a man named Caleb from West Elm who is a furniture designer that gaslights and ghosts them. It’s like if John Tucker Must Die or The Other Woman happened in real life in real time on tiktok. pic.twitter.com/BMCv39iu79 — Zach Schwartz (@zachzachzach) January 19, 2022 The sheer number of women who’d been allegedly ghosted by Caleb took social media by storm, prompting a slew of backlash against the furniture designer and even sparking some claims of abuse. Andrew Schulz discussed the matter during a January 25 episode of his Flagrant 2 podcast, arguing that Caleb doesn’t deserve these claims in spite of being a “f**kboy.” Click here if TikTok fails to load. “This guy was not being mean to these girls upon meeting them,” Schulz said. “He was doing the exact opposite thing that we’re told by the pick-up artists. He’s ‘love bombing.’ ‘You’re so amazing! I made a playlist for you!’ It literally is terrifying, what he’s doing.” “What I think is funny is, if he were one of these millionaires … These girls would be fine with being ghosted. Their ego could tolerate it.” “What’s funny about this — and this is the insulting thing — is they’re not upset they got ghosted,” he continued. “They’re upset they got ghosted by a guy that they thought they were better than.” Andrew Schulz hits back at claims of abuse against West Elm Caleb Schulz went on to compare the act of ‘love-bombing’ to “looking completely different in your Instagram pictures than you do in real life,” hitting back at claims of abuse toward Caleb. “It’s very hard for people to just go, I guess he didn’t like me,” he argued. “He’s either a f**kboy, manipulative, or an a**hole. Maybe he did that to a few people and that’s f**ked up. But some of y’all… it’s you.” (Topic begins at 11:00) Overall, it seems that Schulz didn’t have a problem with West Elm Caleb’s dating strategy and doesn’t feel the claims of pre-abuse tactics are warranted. Schulz isn’t alone in this; when the outrage around Caleb was at an all-time high, a similar sentiment spread around Twitter in response to the backlash in support of the designer, with even TV host Trevor Noah criticizing the public vitriol. Let’s talk about West Elm Caleb. pic.twitter.com/8LHztAGVXu — The Daily Show (@TheDailyShow) January 25, 2022 Caleb himself has said that he’s “shocked and pretty traumatized about this whole thing” in text messages to one of the women he was involved with, clearly blindsided by the sudden attention from his romantic escapades and unaware it would become a viral debate.

  • Andrew Schulz defends Joe Rogan amid racism drama: “This is a hit job” – Dexerto

    Andrew Schulz defends Joe Rogan amid racism drama: “This is a hit job” YouTube: Flagrant 2 / PowerfulJREInstagram comedian Andrew Schulz claims that Joe Rogan’s racism drama is a “hit job.” The Flagrant 2 Podcast host argued that people are just trying to “silence” the UFC commentator. After being accused of spreading misinformation by Neil Young in January, Joe Rogan became further embroiled in controversy in February when footage resurfaced of him using racial slurs in older episodes of the JRE podcast. Stand-up comic Andrew Schulz came to the defense of him in a string of social media posts following the backlash and claimed that the entire controversy was manufactured. Andrew Schulz calls Joe Rogan racism scandal “a hit job” Joe Rogan addressed the controversy in an Instagram video on February 5 where he apologized for his “shameful” behavior. Despite his response, the popular podcast star continued to trend on social media due to growing backlash. Responding to the anger, fellow comedian Andrew Schulz defended the JRE host on Twitter. “Rogan hit job started with misinformation. That didn’t stick so now it’s racism. Next, it will be misogyny,” he tweeted. “They are trying to make him radioactive [because] they fear his influence.” The Instagram personality then claimed that the entire controversy was being pushed by those who want to see Rogan’s career end because they can’t control him. “This isn’t about hate. It’s about silencing a powerful man THEY can’t control,” he said. Rogan hit job started with misinformation. That didn’t stick so now it’s racism. Next it will be misogyny. After that transphobia. They are trying to make him radioactive bc they fear his influence. This isn’t about hate. It’s about silencing a powerful man THEY can’t control. — Andrew Schulz 👑HEZI (@andrewschulz) February 6, 2022 Schulz followed up his argument in a separate Instagram post where he again claimed that it was a hit job. “Please believe the people behind this don’t care about a single thing Rogan said. They know you do though. And their goal is to manipulate you into silencing Rogan so they don’t have to deal with him,” he wrote. “But make no mistake about it, this is a hit job.” The Flagrant 2 podcast host further clarified that he believed Rogan was a target due to being more popular than the mainstream media and not being tied to an institution. “It’s the same playbook used when a movement or person of influence can’t be controlled. Any human in history with power that wasn’t tied to an institution gets put through it to varying degrees,” he said. View this post on Instagram Andrew Schulz ended his rant by calling out Joe Rogan’s friends who were staying “silent” during this time: “Rogan has made a lot of people millionaires. Imagine being one of those people and staying silent right now? Cause this will blow over in a month but that silence will never be forgotten.” Only time will tell whether the UFC commentator will be able to weather the storm of this latest controversy. At the time of writing, Spotify has removed over 70 episodes of the JRE podcast.

  • Andrew Schulz claims Apple “got greedy” asking for 30% cut from App Store amid Epic Games lawsuit – Dexerto

    Andrew Schulz claims Apple “got greedy” asking for 30% cut from App Store amid Epic Games lawsuit YouTube, Flagrant 2Co-host of the Flagrant 2 podcast, Andrew Schulz, recently stated that Apple is “too greedy” in regards to the 30 percent revenue cut they take from developers who use in-app purchases. Just days ago, the lawsuit between Epic Games and Apple continued after the company filed an appeal in a bid to win more rights for developers. The judge had ruled in favor of Apple, which was being sued by the Fortnite creator after they removed the game due to an extra payment option that allowed the developers to avoid paying the 30% revenue cut that Apple takes. When the topic was brought up during a podcast recording, Andrew Schulz had his own thoughts regarding the lawsuit between the two companies. Andrew Schulz gives his opinion In a clip from the September 14 video upload of the Flagrant 2 podcast, the hosts brought up the ongoing Epic Games lawsuit against Apple, and together they shared some opinions on the whole situation. “I understand Apple,” Schulz began, explaining how the company has made the App Store convenient for developers to sell their app on. When another off-camera host mentioned that they thought 30% cut was too high of a number, Andrew agreed: “They got greedy.” (Check out his comments at 3:38) Schulz continued to provide his thoughts with a hypothetical situation regarding a change in revenue cuts: “I don’t think any of them would balk at 10 percent.” All the hosts agreed that they think, if Apple were to lower their in-app revenue cut to 10 percent, fewer developers would try to move in-app purchases outside of the built-in app store. Maybe with the recent appeal from Epic Games, we will see Apple make a similar change.

  • Andrew Schulz believes Floyd Mayweather will hurt his reputation by not paying Logan Paul – Dexerto

    Andrew Schulz believes Floyd Mayweather will hurt his reputation by not paying Logan Paul YouTube: Flagrant 2/Floyd MayweatherFlagrant 2 podcast host Andrew Schulz explained during a recent episode that he believes Floyd Mayweather may lead to him tarnishing his reputation if he continues to not pay fighters. Logan Paul fought Floyd Mayweather back in June 2021, with the fight lasting all eight rounds with no winner being declared. On December 27, Logan uploaded a video to his Instagram stories calling out the legendary boxer for not paying him for the fight more than six months after the event took place. Now, Andrew Schulz has chimed in with his opinion about the situation, claiming that he believes Mayweather may tarnish his reputation if he continues to not pay fighters. Andrew Schulz chimes in on Mayweather not paying Logan Paul During the January 4 episode of the Flagrant 2 podcast, Schulz and his co-host Akaash Singh began to talk about the Paul brothers. Before they got too far into it, however, Andrew gave his opinion about Mayweather not paying Logan. Schulz went on to explain that he’s a huge fan of Floyd Mayweather, but he added: “It sucks to see people become the people they’ve always fought against or hated. Floyd left Bob Arum because he wasn’t giving him his money, and now he’s doing it. Its bulls**t man.” After some back and forth conversation with Akaash, Andrew mentioned that he hopes Mayweather isn’t “f**king over” his own fighters like Gervonta Davis. He added: “That would be the biggest stain on his legacy if at the end of the day he ended up f**king over his fighters.” (Topic starts at 1:17:00 in the video) Schulz also detailed a conversation that he had with Logan Paul, where Paul mentioned that he was going to have to sue Mayweather to get his payment from the June 6 fight. He ended his rant about Mayweather with a quote from Batman: “You either die a hero or you live long enough to become the villain.” Floyd Mayweather has yet to respond to Paul’s accusations, and it’s unknown whether or not he will.

  • Andrew Callaghan breaks 9-month Channel 5 hiatus with new content plan – Dexerto

    Andrew Callaghan breaks 9-month Channel 5 hiatus with new content plan YouTube: Channel 5 News with Andrew CallaghanChannel 5 News’ Andrew Callaghan has returned to YouTube with his first video in nine months. The YouTuber took the opportunity to lay out a new content schedule with regular uploads. YouTube gonzo journalist Andrew Callaghan has shied away from the publication of content since allegations of sexual assault were made against him in January 2023. Immediately following the release of his HBO-produced documentary This Place Rules, multiple women came forward with accusations of misconduct. Following the allegations, Callaghan admitted to a “negative pattern of behavior” and checked himself into rehabilitation for alcohol abuse. Since that time, Callaghan placed himself on an indefinite hiatus though he was seen recording new content as early as August 2023. On October 9, 2023, Callaghan uploaded the first video to the Channel 5 With Andrew Callaghan YouTube channel in nine months. Titled ‘Q Shaman Comes Home’ details the QAnon Shaman’s return from federal prison and an outline for more Channel 5 content to come. True to Channel 5 form, the short-form documentary is a wild ride from start to finish that features an exclusive interview with the QAnon Shaman Jacob Chansley following his 27 months in the Federal Correctional Institution, Safford. Highlights from the video include Chansley performing a Shamanic Hymn, clashing conspiratorial ideologies, and the bafflingly paradoxical celebration of a professed pagan at a Christian church. Callaghan’s most recent upload also featured unseen footage of the January 6 Riots. Most of which originated from a hard drive that Callaghan claimed “the FBI has been looking for, for two and a half years”. Callaghan finished the video with a plug to his Patreon and a promise to his viewers that more content was inbound. “Every single Sunday at 5:55 PM, Eastern Standard Time, for the next 55 weeks we’re going to be dropping a new video here on YouTube,” he announced. During the video, Callaghan made no mention of the sexual assault allegations against him. There have also been no posts on any of his other publicly available social media channels. While the comments on the YouTube video are overwhelmingly positive, news of the new video has reached Twitter where views on his return are a little more divisive.

  • Andrew and Tristan Tate allegedly ‘enslaved’ women and took their OnlyFans earnings – Dexerto

    Andrew and Tristan Tate allegedly ‘enslaved’ women and took their OnlyFans earnings Andrew TateAccording to prosecutors in Romania, evidence against Andrew Tate and Tristan includes transcripts of the brothers admitting to keeping OnlyFans revenue from women in their business, and a desire to work them like “slaves”. Evidence seen by the BBC, but not verified for translation accuracy, includes transcriptions of conversations reportedly had by the brothers as well as two women also implicated in the case. A total of 300 pages contain the evidence that is intended to be brought to the trial when it begins, which is still not expected to be completed for several years. Tristan accused of saying “slave these b*tches” The evidence contains transcriptions of a conversation that allegedly took place in 2020, where Tristan Tate is said to have laid out plans to work the women as though they were slaves. “Mainly I’m going to slave these bitches […] I’m going to make them work even more hours and hours and hours. I work these bitches like slaves. […] SLAVE work. Minimum 10 or 12 hours a day.” He also allegedly denied the women access to passwords for sites including OnlyFans, in order to retain all the revenue for himself. “I don’t want them to have the passwords, I don’t want them to have anything. […] “I don’t want to tell them that they have OnlyFans, I want that money to be used by me and you, screw them…” However, two of the women who are considered victims by the prosecutors, claim that they in fact retained all of their income, and have publicly supported the Tate brothers. Prosecutors also allege that women who were new recruits were prevented from leaving the house at any time, and were placed under the supervision of Luana Radu and Georgiana Naghel, the two women also accused alongside the brothers. In a text to one of the alleged victims, Andrew is reported to have said that Tristan and Ms. Naghel are the ones “running the girl business/OnlyFans and TikTok.” Andrew Tate rape allegations Andrew Tate is also accused of rape, with various transcriptions in the evidence seen by the BBC set to be brought forward on this accusation. In one text message, Andrew Tate is alleged to have said, “Don’t be boring […] I want to see that you submit to me […] shut up you wh**e, you will do as I say.” An alleged rape victim claims she was unable to refuse Andrew’s demands as he would hold her head during sex and threatened to get her pregnant and lock her in the house. This left the woman scared and crying, prosecutors claim. The brothers face charges of human trafficking, forming a criminal gang, and rape. They deny all charges. We will keep you updated on the Tate trial here on Dexerto.

  • Andrea Botez wows fans with first-ever DJ set – Dexerto

    Andrea Botez wows fans with first-ever DJ set Twitter, Instagram: itsandreabotezCanadian chess player and Twitch streamer Andrea Botez left fans shocked after making her debut as a DJ in her first-ever EDM set at a small party. 21-year-old Andrea Botez is a well-known chess player, who notably won multiple championships as a youngster before becoming a Twitch streamer in 2016. Since then, Andrea has continued to pursue her love of chess on her and her sister’s Twitch channel, where she boasts over 1 million followers. She has also broken into the boxing scene, making her combat sports debut in December 2022 at Ludwig’s Mogul Chessboxing event (where she ultimately lost to rival Dina Belenkaya by checkmate in a controversial bout). Now, she’s taking on another interest — DJing. Chess streamer Andrea Botez makes her DJ debut On June 15, Andrea made her DJing debut at a small event in Los Angeles playfully dubbed ‘Botez Underground’ alongside fellow artists Justin Kan and NoahJ. She posted a short video documenting the evening — and although she was late to the party, it looks like her set was a big hit with attendees. We have to admit, her beats weren’t bad, and it seems like the crowd had a pretty good time. All in all, it looks like a positive first step for Andrea in the EDM world. However, it looks like her preparation for the party kept her sister, fellow chess player and steamer Alexandra Botez, up all night… but the event ended up going off without a hitch (so maybe staying up all night blasting her music over the speakers paid off). She wouldn’t be the only female influencer who is also pursuing DJing; YouTubers and ‘fitfluencers’ Sommer Ray and Charly Jordan are two massively popular influencers who are also DJs. This is just the latest to come from Andrea Botez after she shut down the idea of a hot tub stream with Indiefoxx and Mizkif back in May.

  • Andrea Botez weirded out by “creepy” guy who wouldn’t take a hint during IRL stream – Dexerto

    Andrea Botez weirded out by “creepy” guy who wouldn’t take a hint during IRL stream Andrea BotezAndrea Botez, the star Twitch streamer known for her elite chess skills, was live at a bar in New York City after a day of streaming, when a man approached her repeatedly, creating a painfully awkward encounter. Streaming on Twitch out in public can be a risky affair. Many streamers have had difficulties broadcasting themselves out and about, having to deal with the actions of others they can’t control. Andrea Botez found herself in one such situation, as she dealt with a “creep” at a bar that wouldn’t leave her alone, despite her efforts. Andrea had been streaming chess all day in Manhattan when she headed to a restaurant to wind down, eat some food, and hang out with her chat. She was eventually approached by a stranger who said that he knew her saying, “You’re Andrea Botez, I watch your stream actually.” He then asks her if he can sit with her, which she politely says that the open chair is reserved for her chat. When he asks if he can sit at the table next to her she says, “I’m kind of just focused on the chat, yeah, I’m just gonna stream.” As he walks away, Andrea smiles painfully and shakes her head at the camera as it’s clear she wasn’t interested in the company. Unfortunately, the man didn’t get the hint, as he returns to Andrea’s table and she tells him, “I kind of just want to stream, I’m sorry. I just want to talk to my chat.” He responds, “I feel like I have to do it.” She shoots him down more harshly one last time saying “No thank you. I’m really not interested.” After he finally leaves the restaurant, he shouts “I LOVE YOU!” and can be seen making a rude hand motion – knowing he’s on stream. Thankfully after the man left the restaurant he never returned. Later in the stream Andrea described him as “creepy”, adding that he wouldn’t take the hint to leave her alone as she obviously wasn’t interested. The entire encounter was painfully awkward for Andrea – and she’s not the only streamer to encounter such issues when streaming IRL. Another example of this is when Twitch streamer Jinny was streaming her walking through Milan and was struck with a drink by a group of teenage boys, or when she was approached by a man who wanted her to get in his car in a potential kidnapping attempt.

  • Andrea Botez vs Michelle Khare boxing match confirmed for Creator Clash – Dexerto

    Andrea Botez vs Michelle Khare boxing match confirmed for Creator Clash Creator ClashPopular chess personality and Twitch streamer Andrea Botez is facing off with YouTuber Michelle Khare for a surprise boxing match in Creator Clash 2. Creator Clash debuted in 2022 to high acclaim, pitting a slew of diverse content creators against each other in the boxing ring with the aim of raising money for charity. All in all, the event racked up over $1 million for causes like the American Heart Association and more… and this year’s Creator Clash is looking to be even bigger and better than its predecessor. Although matchups were announced earlier this year, another major bout has been added to the docket — and it’s another bombastic match between two female influencers. Andrea Botez to box Michelle Khare at Creator Clash 2 Chess personality and Twitch streamer Andrea Botez will touch gloves with YouTube star and Challenge Accepted creator Michelle Khare as Creator Clash 2’s fourth female matchup. This marks Andrea Botez’s second-ever boxing match, with her debut taking place at Ludwig’s Mogul Chessboxing Championship last year, which she notably lost to chess champ Dina Belenkaya. “My first introduction to boxing happened through a mere accident when I signed up for a chess boxing championship,” Botez said in a statement. “Even though I only had six weeks to train for that fight, during that time I felt a new type of discipline and focus that I hadn’t experienced since I quit competitive chess.” “Training for Creator Clash 2 has been one of the most difficult things I’ve done, but I know my opponent, Michelle Khare, is working just as hard and it is an honor to fight her!” Khare also chimed in on her upcoming Creator Clash match. “I am so grateful to Anisa, Ian, and Creator Clash for cultivating such a special space for creators to come together to raise money for a good cause — while also providing an opportunity for us to challenge ourselves to new heights, mentally and physically,” she said. “I’m stoked to be in the ring with Andrea Botez as one of the four female fights featured this year.” Fans can tune into Creator Clash 2 on April 15.

  • Andrea Botez starts fire in Envy content house and it’s only been two days – Dexerto

    Andrea Botez starts fire in Envy content house and it’s only been two days Twitch/CodeMikoPopular Twitch chess streamer Andrea Botez almost caused a major travesty in the Envy content house days after it launched with her sister Alexandra, Code Miko, and JustAMinx. Envy officially launched their female-led Hollywood Hills house on January 19 where the four top creators would be making and streaming content. Now, not two days into its grand opening, the four have already experienced quite a scare when Code Miko was teaching everyone how to make Korean food in the kitchen. While such an activity would normally be relatively safe, Andrea Botez started a fire and nearly made things a lot worse when she thought a can of butane was a fire extinguisher. Andrea Botez starts fire in Envy content house On January 21 during a cooking stream, the younger Botez sister freaked out over a fire in the kitchen and started calling for help. As Alexandra tried to console her sister, JustAMinx walked out of the kitchen and Code Miko tried to stay calm by dealing with the flames. Eventually, a cameraman walked up and put out what was left of the blaze. “They didn’t give us a lot of rules, but I remember them saying don’t burn the kitchen down,” Alexandra joked. Andrea Botez mistakes butane for fire extinguisher To make the whole situation even weirder, Andrea went looking for a fire extinguisher and when she came back thinking she had one, she was stunned to learn she actually was holding a can of butane. “I thought it extinguishes fire, because it has a photo here, well, it says danger. I thought this was a fire crossed out,” she noted, examining the can. “I’m really glad I didn’t let Andrea extinguish the fire,” Alexandra said before explaining how the whole ordeal was caused by a tissue catching ablaze. If this is a sign of things to come, then streams at the Envy content house could very well be prime material for fans of all four creators.

  • Andrea Botez shuts down Indiefoxx’s attempt to hot tub stream with Mizkif – Dexerto

    Andrea Botez shuts down Indiefoxx’s attempt to hot tub stream with Mizkif Twitch/Mizkif/Instagram/AndreaBotezTwitch chess star Andrea Botez had a brutal response to Indiefoxx’s attempt to hot tub stream with Mizkif. Indiefoxx has made quite the return to Twitch ever since being allowed back on the platform following a wardrobe malfunction and promised to not let her shot at redemption go to waste. After two years away due to her suspension, the hot tub and ASMR streamer has once again begun to broadcast more regularly, even appearing on Mizkif’s Parasocial show. During her recent appearance, the streamer tried to convince Mizkif to do a hot tub stream with her, but didn’t expect Andrea Botez to step in and put an end to that possibility. Indiefoxx’s Mizkif hot tub stream thwarted by Andrea Botez After being introduced on the show, Mizkif couldn’t help but notice that Indiefoxx’s hot tub wasn’t in the background of her setup. “It’s deflated somewhere in my garage,” she revealed. “I don’t really have one anymore. Do you want me to bring one to your house? I could give you hot tub water. We can fill it with like…” Before Indiefoxx could continue, however, Andrea Botez stepped in and crushed any possibility of a collaboration between her and Mizkif once the hot tub discussions intensified. “He doesn’t need any more content, Jen Foxxx!” Botez exclaimed. “He is the enemy. We need to unite against him, not help him.” At this point, Mizkif could only look on and watch as Andrea shattered discussions of getting into a hot tub with the OnlyFans model, joking that the chess streamer had “ruined his life.” Of course, it’s still possible that we see a Mizkif and Indiefoxx duo stream at some point in the future, but just don’t expect to see Andrea invited to join them after trying to shut down the opportunity when it presented itself on Twitch.

  • Andrea Botez shocks Maya with unplanned Mizkif trash talk at QTCinderella’s Beyblade event – Dexerto

    Andrea Botez shocks Maya with unplanned Mizkif trash talk at QTCinderella’s Beyblade event Twitch: QTCinderellaQTCinderella’s Beyblade Tournament saw sparks fly both in and out of the arena, with Andrea Botez talking trash talk to a whole new level in her bout with Maya Higa. Popular chess streamer and one half of the BotezLive team, Andrea Botez, may have been taking lessons from Dream in the smack-talk department after an unscripted moment in QTCinderella’s Beyblade tournament built buzz in the arena. In a best-of-three bout against fellow streamer Maya Higa, Andrea pulled no punches when launching into her pre-game verbal smackdowns. Maya Higa, popular conservationist streamer, went through a public breakup with Mizkif less than a year ago, serving as the fuel for the Botez fire. As they entered into the boxing ring the tournament took place in, the two squared up before Botez yelled: “Mizkif made you” directly into the face of her friend and fellow competitor. Eliciting shock from the crowd of streamers assembled, QTCinderella on-camera duties let out a pained “nooooooo” at the comment. Explaining the situation, Maya clarified: “Andrea and I off-camera were like ‘let’s make a bit, let’s go in there and talk sh*t’” with Botez clearly taking the idea and running with it. Cutting back to the commentary box, Sajam and Slime talked over Maya’s reaction: “I think she’s emotionally damaged. That was very effective. I think she thought she’d be like ‘you stink’ when in fact she said “haha, your worst emotional experience in life.” Taking the fight beyond the spinning tops, the two doubled down with an arm wrestle in the middle of their second-round bout, which Andrea won before losing the all-important Beyblade battle. Maya ended up placing in the Top 8 of the tournament. QTCinderella’s tournament ended up being won overall by WillNeff, who took home a $2000 prize, a unique Beyblade trophy, and the all-time rights to name himself ‘Twitch’s best Beyblader.”

  • Andrea Botez says Hans Niemann Chess.com lawsuit is “just a flex” – Dexerto

    Andrea Botez says Hans Niemann Chess.com lawsuit is “just a flex” Instagram: ItsandreabotezJust hours after Hans Niemann revealed he was suing Chess.com, Magnus Carlson, and Hikaru, Andrea Botez reacted on stream and mentioned that she thinks the lawsuit is “just a flex.” Back in September, Magnus Carlson withdrew from a Chess Cup as fans speculated on rumors that Hans Niemann was cheating — with many theorizing that he was using an “adult toy” with someone off stage communicating with him via morse code. On October 20, Hans Niemann filed a $100M defamation lawsuit against Magnus Carlson, Hikaru, and Chess.com, claiming that the defendants have “destroyed Niemann’s life simply because he had the talent, dedication, and audacity to beat the so-called “King of Chess.” Just hours later, Andrea Botez was reacting to the lawsuit on her Twitch stream when she said that she believes Niemann filed the lawsuit as a “flex.” Andrea Botez reacts to Hans Niemann’s lawsuit During her October 20 stream, Andrea opened the lawsuit document and displayed it on the stream. “I don’t think I’ve ever read a lawsuit thing in my life. Wait, is he suing… oooh. I guess play Magnus is a part of it. Wait… he’s suing Hikaru too?” she said. “Damn. I’m just glad I never stepped into this drama. I guess Hikaru kind of stirred up a little bit of the insinuations at the beginning… I feel like this is honestly just a flex.” At the time of writing, none of the affected players have commented on the lawsuit, likely due to it being a legal matter. So, we’ll have to wait to see what happens regarding it in the next few weeks. In the meantime, head over to our entertainment section for more news.

  • Andrea Botez reveals she “punished” ex by peeing on his car after “toxic” relationship – Dexerto

    Andrea Botez reveals she “punished” ex by peeing on his car after “toxic” relationship Instagram/itsandreabotezChess streamer Andrea Botez revealed the gross way she got revenge on an ex-boyfriend after a “toxic” relationship. Sisters Andrea and Alexandra Botez have taken Twitch by storm with their chess content and have become major players in the streaming world. Such fame has even allowed Andrea to branch off and partake in boxing events, having competed in Ludwig’s Mogul Moves’ Chessboxing event and will be battling Michelle Khare at Creator Clash 2. Interestingly, it turns out that Andrea is just as feisty outside of the ring as she is inside of one, revealing how she took out her revenge on an ex-boyfriend’s car. Andrea Botez punished ex-boyfriend after “toxic” relationship During an appearance on the That’s What She Said podcast, Andrea, her sister Alex and host Brooke were talking about bad dates. After Brooke said a guy left in the middle of a hook-up to go to a lacrosse game, Andrea revealed she would have “punished” him if that had happened to her. (Segment begins at 36:10) “I would have peed on his car,” Andrea said, revealing that she did just that to her ex-boyfriend. According to Andrea, she had good reason to take out her frustration on her ex after how she was being treated by him on a constant basis. “It was a really toxic relationship. It was on and off all the time,” she added, further joking about how she would actually do it again if she had the chance. “It was really satisfying. I got it all out. Literally.” “This is why I don’t upset Andrea. I don’t want her to pee on my stuff,” Alex joked. Oddly, this isn’t the first story about bodily fluids ending up on a vehicle to make the news this week. Earlier, a woman went viral after she confronted a neighbor for allegedly pooping on her car. Needless to say, it’s probably not a good idea to mess with Andrea Botez, in relationships, a chess board, or a boxing ring.

  • Andrea Botez explains why she won’t make solo channel with hilarious Mizkif roast – Dexerto

    Andrea Botez explains why she won’t make solo channel with hilarious Mizkif roast Twitch: MizkifAndrea Botez and sister Alexandra have become a dominant duo on Twitch, starting out as chess streamers before growing out of the genre and becoming far bigger. Under the name BotezLive, the sisters’ shared channel has overtaken their chess careers and they’re pursuing content creation full-time, even joining popular esports organization Envy as creators. While they do things separately occasionally, their channels remain mutual ones and that doesn’t look like changing any time soon. When Mizkif asked her about the idea of making separate channels, Andrea was insistent it wouldn’t be happening — and couldn’t help but take a jab at him in the process. Andrea was just chatting with Mizkif and his viewers in Miz’s stream when the topic of her content career came up, and Miz made some suggestions. “Why don’t you and your sister just make separate channels and you would double your amount of revenue?” Mizkif asked, suggesting that with two channels they could essentially double their revenue. Andrea insisted that she’s definitely not separating from her sister. “Just because you lost your partner doesn’t mean I have to lose my partner,” she said, joking about Mizkif’s recent split from ex-girlfriend Maya. “And no, it wouldn’t work like that. We’re not even consistent enough, we don’t post that much.” The idea of separate channels is one that fans have discussed for a long time, especially those who perhaps prefer the content of one Botez sister over the other. But Andrea is insistent there’s no way they make separate channels, perfectly content with how they currently operate and, to their credit, it’s definitely working for them.

  • Hikaru denies claims he sent Andrea Botez a cease & desist over cardboard cutout of him – Dexerto

    Hikaru denies claims he sent Andrea Botez a cease & desist over cardboard cutout of him Twitch: BotezLiveTop Chess streamer Hikaru Nakamura has denied Andrea Botez’s claims that he sent her a cease and desist following a cardboard cutout of him appearing in her stream. Hikaru, a Chess grandmaster and the category’s biggest streamer on Twitch before his move over to rival platform Kick, has never been one to shy away from or hide his feuds with others, and the Botez sisters, Andrea and Alexandra, know that all too well. In 2021, he criticized Andrea for jokes she made at the Chess World Championship, and Alex has claimed that he has been frustrated with the sisters for streaming chess in the ‘Just Chatting’ category, dating all the way back to 2020. Earlier in 2023, he claimed that the pair would “never win anything in Chess,” something they didn’t take kindly to and put him on blast for, but it has been somewhat quiet on the Botez vs Hikaru front since. Hikaru cease & desist Andrea Botez? While talking with fellow Chess streamer AnnaCramling, Andrea suggested that her feud with Hikaru may have finally come to a head as he sent her a cease and desist notice. “The cutout is done and we shall never speak about who once was here,” Andrea said in response to Anna’s questioning of the cutout. She continued: “I’ll tell you half of it… I’ll tell you as much as I’m allowed. All I can say is, Anna, we got a cease and desist. That’s all that will be said.” While she didn’t spell it out specifically, Andrea implied that Hikaru sent her a cease & desist after a cutout of him started appearing in the background of her streams. Hikaru responds to cease & desist accusation Several hours later, Hikaru discussed the allegations on stream, denying the fact that he sent a cease and desist notice to the Botez sister. “I mean, yeah, it’s just absolutely absurd,” he said, saying that she must have thought it was funny after seeing other situations, such as the possibility of Logan Paul sending Dillon Danis a cease and desist. “I literally didn’t even talk to them. That’s how ridiculous it is. I haven’t even spoken to them. I’ve been dealing with other legal stuff.” Andrea apologizes to Hikaru He then showed a Direct Message sent to him by Andrea, in which she claimed she didn’t know what a cease and desist is, apologizing for making the implication. “Hi Hikaru, I just saw that there was a clip on LSF about the cardboard cutout – I genuinely apologize, I was being, sarcastic / joking, around and thought a cease & desist is just a term meaning being asked to take something down – I’m going to clear it up first thing in the morning on stream and it’s completely my bad. I’m sorry again and I know LSF is full of haters, I will be more cautious in the future and will try to avoid putting you in such situations.” It appears as though Andrea may have stumbled on what she was saying a little when discussing the Hikaru situation with Anna, and promptly reached out to him to both apologize and confirm that she will rectify the situation live on stream. Andrea claims Hikaru had someone to take down the cutout After Hikaru responded to Andrea’s claims, the Botez sisters jointly claimed that Hikaru did indeed reach out to them but not directly. Rather, Hikaru allegedly had someone from chess.com, a site they both work for, contact her to take down the cutout. “Well if he [showed] the DMs and cared about the truth, then he shouldn’t have said he didn’t reach out to us ’cause that’s sneaky. He didn’t reach out directly but he had someone reach out to us for him. So if he cares about the truth he should be fair about it.”

It’s been 17 long years since Outkast broke up, at least in terms of making albums. The duo reunited for a world-crossing tour in 2014. Their last joint record was Idlewild in 2006. Big Boi teased in 2017 that a new Outkast album wasn’t totally out of the question. However, six years later, that has yet to be seen. Over the years, Big Boi has issued a sequence of critically acclaimed solo records, from Sir Lucious Left Foot to Boomiverse. For André 3000, his time in the spotlight as a soloist finally arrives. André 3000 plans debut solo album On November 14, the rapper revealed his plans to release a solo debut album called New Blue Sun. The record, which features such song titles as “I Swear, I Really Wanted To Make a ‘Rap’ Album but This Is Literally the Way the Wind Blew Me This Time,” drops on November 17. The flute record—no, you won’t hear any vocals—finds André 3000 leaning into a vast collection of influences, including Laraaji, Brian Eno, and Alice Coltrane. Upon hearing the news, fans immediately took to Twitter/X to express excitement. “He’s a seeker of beauty to discover things that compel him.

  • Anderson Silva’s coach accuses Logan Paul of “hiding” under exhibition rules – Dexerto

    Anderson Silva’s coach accuses Logan Paul of “hiding” under exhibition rules Instagram/spiderandersonsilva/loganpaulUFC legend Anderson Silva has taken up a career in boxing and a potential fight against YouTuber Logan Paul is in the cards, but according to Silva’s coach, the bout will only happen if it’s under official rules. Logan Paul shocked the world when he took boxing icon Floyd Mayweather to the limit, refusing to go down against the undefeated 50-0 star. While his success was seen as a victory in many circles, Anderson Silva’s coach wasn’t as impressed, especially because of the fact it was fought under exhibition rules – something he wants to change if The Spider and Logan meet in the ring. In an interview with Sherdog, Silva’s coach Luiz Dorea weighed in on future boxing matches for Silva, who recently won against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. via split-decision. Primarily, he discussed the possibility of a fight against Logan Paul, which was teased by the YouTuber’s manager as a potential September bout. “Logan proved to be a very brave and talented kid doing an exhibition fight against the legend Floyd Mayweather,” Dorea admitted. “But, of course, if it were in official rules, the result would be different. Let’s see if he will keep hiding under exhibition rules or if he will test himself in the real world [under professional rules].” Notably, Logan’s exhibition fight against Mayweather had no judges and no official winner was declared. As such, even if Mayweather had a better performance, he wouldn’t “win” due to the rules. However, according to Silva’s coach, if Logan and the former UFC star fought under professional rules, he guarantees a knockout. “I have no doubt Anderson will knock him out,” Dorea insisted. With a potential fight looming, it will be fun to see if Dorea’s prophecy can come true or if Logan can defy the odds just as he did against Floyd Mayweather.

  • Anderson Silva wants to have kickboxing fight with Jake Paul after boxing match – Dexerto

    Anderson Silva wants to have kickboxing fight with Jake Paul after boxing match YouTube: FULL SEND PODCAST, Jake PaulMMA legend Anderson Silva has hinted at a possible rematch with Jake Paul once their boxing exhibition is over — but this time, he’d opt for a different fighting style. YouTube star Jake Paul is slated to face off against UFC star Anderson Silva in an exhibition match this October. This marks the second time a Paul brother has faced off with a combat sports GOAT, with big bro Logan having boxed against Floyd Mayweather in 2021. Silva has transitioned to the boxing ring from the world of mixed martial arts to great success, and his upcoming fight with Jake Paul marks another massive point of interest for fans. Anderson Silva teases kickboxing fight against Jake Paul after boxing match ‘The Spider’ sat down with YouTube group ‘The Nelk Boys’ on an episode of their Full Send Podcast to discuss his fighting career and his future bout with Jake when the influencers started joking that Silva should throw out an elbow or a kick if he starts to flounder against the influencer. That’s when Silva tossed out the potential for a second fight with Jake — but this time, they’d be kickboxing. “I go talk to Jake and say, Let’s go do one more fight, but exhibition. Kickboxing,” Silva said. “You kick me, I can kick you. But I promise I won’t kick you hard.” “When the fight’s finished, I’ll say, ‘Jake, let’s go do another fight in kickboxing. Let’s go do one more.” (Topic begins at 1:28:29) The possibility of a kickboxing match between these two stars isn’t unfounded; in fact, Jake Paul revealed that he has an MMA event coming up in the near future, and apparently, so does Logan. In a recent episode of his ‘BS’ podcast, ‘The Problem Child’ revealed that he’s working with a “big organization right now on a whole thing in MMA that also has to do with me fighting, and we’re gonna have an announcement soon.” Logan Paul also shared footage of himself training for MMA, where he called out mixed martial artists as he practiced a front step kick. For now, UFC fighters are theorizing that Jake could make his MMA debut against Dillon Danis; but it’s safe to say that fans would love to see him take on The Spider in a kickboxing match, as well.

  • Anderson Silva says Jake Paul fight is “possible” as YouTuber preps for boxing return – Dexerto

    Anderson Silva says Jake Paul fight is “possible” as YouTuber preps for boxing return Instagram: Anderson Silva/Jake PaulFormer UFC king Anderson ‘The Spider’ Silva says a fight with Jake Paul is “possible” and believes the YouTuber should be shown more respect for his impact on boxing. After going on a brief hiatus from in-ring action, instead opting to focus on fighters under his Most Valuable Promotions brand, Jake Paul is stepping back in between the ropes on August 12. To this point, the YouTuber-turned-boxer doesn’t have an opponent, but plenty of names have been suggested – ranging from Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather to KSI, and even his old foe Tommy Fury. Former UFC champion Anderson ‘The Spider’ Silva has also been one that some pundits and fans have suggested be Jake’s next opponent after the social media star changed his stance and said he’d be open to taking the fight. The Brazillian MMA star, who has already beaten Julio Cesar Chavez Jr and Tito Ortiz inside the boxing ring, is back in the ring on the undercard of the Floyd Mayweather vs Don Moore bout. With his calendar opening up a bit after that, Anderson was quizzed by Sports Illustrated about whether or not he’d be open to taking on Jake at some point down the road. “It’s possible,” he told SI before complimenting Jake and his brother Logan. “People need to respect the Paul brothers. Those kids are talented, and they’ve opened people’s eyes about the good and bad in combat sports. I’m preparing my body for a challenge. We’ll see what happens.” As noted, Jake hasn’t yet announced the opponent for his return fight, but if Anderson is in fighting shape and open to it, then who knows. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has stated he wants to fight a ‘real’ boxer before long, and while Anderson isn’t quite that, he has beaten former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, so he’s certainly no slouch.

  • Anderson Silva praises Jake & Logan Paul for “changing” combat sports – Dexerto

    Anderson Silva praises Jake & Logan Paul for “changing” combat sports Instagram: Anderson Silva / Jake PaulUFC legend Anderson Silva praised Jake and Logan Paul for “doing something special” and “proving” that combat sports have changed, and as for a potential fight against them, he said, “we’ll see.” Anderson Silva was first linked to a potential fight against Logan Paul in June 2021. Rumors and leaks have been pouring out ever since. A fight between them seemed likely, and Logan couldn’t believe it was even a possibility. However, after seeing Jake Paul beat Tyron Woodley, Silva seemed interested in taking him on, too. Jake wasn’t keen on the idea at first, claiming it’s a “lose-lose” situation. But his interest piqued after UFC President Dana White urged him to do it. But despite being linked to fights against both Jake and Logan, Silva told Ariel Helwani during an interview on The MMA Hour he has nothing but respect for them. In fact, he claimed they’re changing the game. “I respect the Paul kids because [they] are so smart,” he said. “[They] are doing a good job, and people need to respect [them] because both kids are doing something special. These kids prove this world has changed.” He acknowledged that “a lot of people” would love to see him fight against them. But instead of talking smack to generate hype, he explained that he’s more focused on preparing himself and keeping his skills sharp. “I’m just waiting. I’m preparing my mind. I’m preparing my body,” he said. “I train every day with my coach to do my best.” As for his thoughts on the likelihood of it happening, he said, “I don’t know. We’ll see.” Silva isn’t the only fighter Jake and Logan could square off against in the foreseeable future. Other possibilities include Derek Brunson, Jorge Masvidal, Tommy Fury, and Vitor Belfort. Tyron Woodley is hoping for a rematch, too. Nothing has been confirmed yet. However, there is no shortage of opportunities for the Paul brothers. The fight world is their oyster.

  • Ancient Blockbuster tweet goes viral following decline in Netflix users – Dexerto

    Ancient Blockbuster tweet goes viral following decline in Netflix users A tweet from the now-defunct video rental store Blockbuster has gone viral following Netflix’s decline in users. Netflix has remained a titan in the on-demand streaming industry for several years now. With a mix of popular TV shows and movies, to a growing catalog of quality original content, it’s hard to find a household without access to Netflix. However, Netflix has made some critical choices as of late that have netted negative responses. Once again raising the price of a monthly subscription, discontinuing account sharing, and teasing the idea of ads has platform users upset. In a statement from Netflix, the streaming service has lost 200,000 customers in the first quarter of 2022. This is the first time since 2011 the company has reported a net loss in subscribers. Tweet why you’re leaving Netflix. The top three most creative tweets using #GoodbyeNetflix will win a 1-year subscription to Blockbuster! — Blockbuster (@blockbuster) September 21, 2011 Blockbuster tweet goes viral as Netflix sees decline The loss of subscribers in 2011 could have been caused by a tweet from their then-rival Blockbuster which stated, “Tweet why you’re leaving Netflix. The top three most creative tweets using #GoodbyeNetflix will win a 1-year subscription to Blockbuster!” Of course, brick-and-mortar Blockbuster stores haven’t been in business since closing their doors in 2014. But that hasn’t stopped users from returning to this tweet over the years to poke fun at Netflix. However, the tweet recently went viral with thousands of quote retweets after Netflix announced ads would be coming to the platform. Having been an ad-free platform since its inception, subscribers are very vocal about their adversity to this change. The replies and retweets are filled with users asking if it’s too late to enter the competition. Others have responded with the hashtag #GoodbyeNetflix with their legitimate complaints about the platform. https://twitter.com/_FireMonkey/status/1518094570428448768 https://twitter.com/B0bkierz/status/1518047432348680195 Of course, with over 200k users leaving the platform and market shares dipping lower than they have since 2018, Netflix is trying to plug holes before the ship sinks. There’s also more competition in the on-demand streaming industry than there ever has been. So, while it’s sad to see the grandfather of digital streaming buckle at the knees, the options make it easier than ever for users to say #GoodbyeNetflix.

  • AMP’s Fanum picks a fridge in his GQ 10 things he can’t live without – Dexerto

    AMP’s Fanum picks a fridge in his GQ 10 things he can’t live without X/Twitter: DexertoYouTuber and AMP member Fanum was interviewed by GQ magazine for his list of 10 things he can’t live without, adding a fridge to the top of the list. Fanum, who has garnered more than 1.57 million subscribers on YouTube, and 1.7 million followers on Twitch, is an original member of AMP (Any Means Possible), along with fellow streaming superstar, Kai Cenat. Subsequently gaining a massive following on social media, they’re known for their IRL challenge videos, which gain millions of views within hours of being uploaded. In November, Fanum was interviewed by GQ Magazine, for their popular video series, ‘10 Things Fanum Can’t Live Without.’ We’ve seen other celebrities add some pretty weird stuff to their list over the years, like Ed Sheeran, who added his security guard, Kev, and Usher, who added a pair of rollerblades. Fanum, however, is the first-ever celebrity to add a household fridge to the list. Fanum’s fridge pick goes viral Fans were clearly amused by Fanum’s decision, who is an avid food lover. He can be seen regularly stealing Kai Centat’s food in videos. This even prompted the latter to invent a ‘Fanum Tax.’ Underneath the X/Twitter post, fans played on this phrase, stating “He then went onto fanum tax everyone else in the area.” Another questioned, “Did bro just bring a whole a** fridge?” Another shared similar levels of disbelief: “I thought it was gonna be a mini fridge but a whole damn fridge bro?” Many, however, praised Fanum’s decision, claiming “Fanum making too much sense.” Another concurred, “He’s right, a fridge is a must have.” One fan however, pointed out that Fanum may be “trolling” fans, as he seems to hold in his laughter when the interviewer brings the fridge into frame. Whether he’s serious or not, there’s no question that Fanum loves his food.

  • Amouranth’s stalker arrested after returning to her property and trying to break in – Dexerto

    Amouranth’s stalker arrested after returning to her property and trying to break in Instagram/AmouranthAmouranth’s notorious stalker has been arrested yet again after allegedly trying to break into her home and trespassing on her property times in the past week. Twitch streamer and OnlyFans sensation Kaitlyn ‘Amouranth’ Siragusa has been dealing with a stalker problem for months now ever since a man from Estonia sold everything to travel to the US and be with her. Back in 2022, the man tried breaking into the Twitch star’s house, and earlier in March of this year, he returned and tried again multiple times before leaving a mysterious package and key. Now, Siragusa says the police have finally arrested the man after he violated a criminal trespass warning five times, but she worries he will be back in no time. Amouranth worried stalker will return despite recent arrest In a post on Twitter, Amouranth revealed that her stalker came back to her property five times, but she was finally able to get the police to show up. According to the OnlyFans model, the police had to chase the man around for a bit and he even tried to “power walk inconspicuously away,” but was ultimately put in the back of a squad car. Despite the arrest, Amouranth doesn’t have faith that he’ll be held and he will end up returning to cause more mischief. “I don’t know how long they will hold him for this time, it ‘only’ took him coming 5 times (that I know of) in a week with a criminal trespass warning before they elected to arrest him vs driving him to the edge of town,” she remarked. Amouranth has had issues with stalkers for some time now. Amazingly, at TwitchCon 2022, security had to step in multiple times when stalkers followed her around the event. I don’t know how long they will hold him for this time, it “only” took him coming 5 times (that I know of) in a week WITH a criminal trespass warning before they elected to arrest him vs driving him to the edge of town… pic.twitter.com/k6mNdFZ8d7 — Kaitlyn (@wildkait) March 8, 2023 The situation even got so bad that a loyal fan ended up sending her $70k in cash, bodyguards and ‘self-defense’ gifts to help with the ongoing struggle. Hopefully, this is the last time Amouranth has to deal with this stalker from Estonia, but given the past, it’s easy to see why Siragusa remains concerned.

  • Amouranth’s G4 appearance sparks debate following viral Froskurinn speech – Dexerto

    Amouranth’s G4 appearance sparks debate following viral Froskurinn speech YouTube: G4TV / XplayAmouranth’s appearance on G4 has kicked off a debate online after the Twitch streamer participated in a segment wearing a bikini. Some viewers are accusing the gaming YouTube channel of ignoring Xplay host Froskurinn’s viral speech on sexism. G4TV’s Indiana ‘Froskurinn’ Black went viral in January after launching into a speech against sexism during an Xplay live show. The 30-year-old called out viewers who kept comparing her physical appearance to previous hosts Morgan Webb and Olivia Munn. The moment trended online again months later following Kaitlyn ‘Amouranth’ Siragusa’s March appearance on the gaming channel. The Twitch star’s bikini segment sparked a debate on social media on whether G4 had failed to stand by Froskurinn. Amouranth’s G4 appearance sparks debate online During Froskurinn’s now-infamous speech, she told viewers that female host’s appearances were not a part of their job. “Women do not exist to be nice on the eyes for you. Morgan Webb, Oliva Munn, did not exist to be nice on the eyes for you!” she said in January. The segment went viral for a second time in March, however, after Amouranth appeared on the G4TV AustinShow wearing a bikini. As a part of the ‘NameYourPrice’ game, the Twitch star rolled around in a children’s ball pit while the 100 Thieves creator jokingly exclaimed, “Everyone loves playing with balls!” Quickly after the episode was uploaded to YouTube, G4 begin trending on social media due to Amouranth’s outfit sparking a debate with users. Some were angry at the streamer’s guest spot and claimed it was an example of the objectification that Froskurinn had called out. (Topic starts at 12:19) Many fans of Froskurinn reposted her viral quote and were critical of G4, such as one user who wrote, “Women do not exist to be nice on the eyes for you. And yet G4 and Xplay have Amouranth on their show prancing around in a bikini…such a sad pathetic hypocrites you are.” Another comment agreed and exclaimed, “There’s no way I see Amouranth’s half-naked a** on a G4TV associated property after Frosk went on that rant about women not being there to be easy on the eyes. I must still be dreaming.” Other commenters accused the gaming channel of using the Twitch star to try to re-brand their company following a loss in subscribers. “G4TV: “Hey, we know we’ve been calling you all sexist neckbeards ever since our relaunch, but look! We’ve got Amouranth in a bikini! This means you’ll come back now, right?” a viewer sarcastically tweeted. Not everyone was angry by the Amouranth segment, however, as some G4TV users sided with the channel for the episode. “Okay so like forgive me for being ignorant. But isn’t Amouranth’s primary brand this? It’s not like G4 is forcing someone else to do this,” a fan commented. Other viewers argued that it was similar to classic Attack of the Show skits and were happy with it. “So is G4 officially back now? We shall see but this was entertaining” and “Ahhh now this is an old-fashioned G4 skit show. Fantastic! Subscribed” two YouTuber users posted in the comment section. At the time of writing, Froskurinn has yet to react to or make any comments on the Amouranth episode. Many fans of the G4 host are curious to hear her feelings on the situation. Regardless, the Twitch star’s appearance has sparked a debate within the site’s viewership about the direction the gaming channel is going in.

  • Amouranth’s former employee responds to claims he ‘doxxed her’ amid husband controversy – Dexerto

    Amouranth’s former employee responds to claims he ‘doxxed her’ amid husband controversy Twitch: amouranthAmouranth’s former content lead has spoken out against claims that he ‘doxxed’ the Twitch star after she claimed he was acting “out of line” amid accusations of abuse toward her husband. Kaitlyn ‘Amouranth’ Siragusa is taking a break from streaming after levying accusations of abuse toward her husband in a tell-all Twitch stream on October 15. The emotionally-charged broadcast included a tense phone call between herself and her husband, after which she showed text messages he’d sent her, in which he threatened to send her dogs to a “meat packing” facility, on top of physical damage he’d allegedly done to their home. The streamer returned to Twitch two days later, saying she is now “free” of her husband’s mistreatment and is seeking legal counsel. However, she also expressed distaste with her former content lead / cameraman, whom she’d let go after he made a post regarding her safety amid the drama. Amouranth accuses cameraman of “escalating” matters at TwitchCon According to Amouranth, he’d “escalated” an argument between herself and her husband at TwitchCon 2022, and had called security and police to handle matters — something she didn’t want, as other streamers were staying on their hotel floor. “I felt like he was attempting to create a scene at a convention full of live streamers,” she said. “Like, our floor literally had streamers staying in it. All up and down the floor.” She also claimed that the cameraman had left her to go to the airport lest he miss his flight, as the argument occurred close to boarding time, leaving she and her husband alone to reschedule their own travel plans. “After we got home, he appeared to flip-flop loyalty, and in the past few days even, he’s pretended to be a conduit of information about my welfare like on Twitter, badgering other staff to give him information to tweet about and he’s encouraged people to show up at my door who I don’t know,” she added. (Topic begins at 41:00) Amouranth’s cameraman addresses accusations of ‘clout-chasing’ and ‘doxxing’ Twitch star On October 21, her content lead, ‘Marz,’ posted a Google Doc responding to her claims, saying that he had called security after Amouranth’s husband had locked her out of their hotel room and purportedly ‘couldn’t hear’ security pounding on the door. Marz also claims to have known Amouranth for many years, but was only employed by the streamer as of September 2022. “I stood by in the hall as Kait packed with her room door open,” he wrote. “When the arguing started escalating, I made the decision to call the authorities to protect our safety.” Marz went on to address her concerns of leaving to get on his flight. “Kait said she was uncomfortable with how I escalated things at TwitchCon, but hardly touches on [her husband] sending threatening messages to the both of us that night,” he added. “I feel as though Kait was trying to frame me leaving her after calling the cops as ‘flip-flopping.’ Which turns this into an incongruent, lose-lose situation between me ‘not doing enough’ (e.g.: leaving to catch the flight) and ‘doing too much’ (e.g.: calling the authorities).” Marz ended his response by touching on her accusations of ‘doxxing’ her, saying “this is not true at all.” “I never gave out their address to anyone, and even sought out professional legal advice on how to tell people that I would NOT be sharing her address,” he wrote. “I’m not sure where she received this information to make such a bold, false claim. It makes me worried that her husband may be misinforming her to push people trying to help away.” For now, Amouranth has yet to publicly speak on Marz’s response, and is currently taking a break from broadcasting following her horse-riding stream on October 18.

  • Amouranth warns stalkers are “more dangerous” for small streamers – Dexerto

    Amouranth warns stalkers are “more dangerous” for small streamers Instagram/AmouranthTwitch star Kaitlyn ‘Amouranth’ Siragusa is warning small streamers that stalkers are more dangerous to them than they are to more prominent content creators. Amouranth has become one of the biggest names in streaming with millions of followers across multiple platforms including Twitch, OnlyFans, and YouTube – as such, she’s had to deal with a lot of weird situations. Since beginning her streaming career in 2016, Amouranth has had quite a few scary run-ins with stalkers showing up at her home and at big events like TwitchCon where she’s needed security to step in. During an appearance on the That’s What She Said podcast, Amouranth issued a big warning to smaller streamers that stalkers can be a significant threat to them and explained why. Amouranth explains why stalkers are crazier for small streamers According to Amouranth, she got her first taste of obsessed fans just a few months after she first started streaming on Twitch and has used her experience to warn others to be careful. “They think that they’re okay as a smaller streamer. If you have five viewers, you can have a stalker. If you have one viewer and it’s not Nightbot, you can have a stalker,” she said. (segment begins at 32:40) While Siragusa has a significant amount of money to afford security systems and guards, others may not be so lucky and she believes that smaller streamers need to be extra careful. “It’s actually I think more dangerous when you’re smaller, because that’s when they get really crazy,” she added. “That just leads them to think it’s a more private interaction.” The OnlyFans model further noted how stalkers can get called out for being creepy when a chat has thousands of people in it. Nonetheless, Amouranth has still had numerous confrontations with stalkers and says she regrets not doing more to keep her identity a secret. Back in 2022, an obsessed stalker from Estonia tried breaking into her home and was arrested. Despite the arrest, he returned to her property twice more in 2023 and even left a mysterious package. Some fans have given Amouranth a way to fight back. One viewer sent the streamer a gift of $70,000, a new iPhone, and some self-defense items, but it’s not clear if she’s ever been in a position where she’d had to use them.
