After hundreds of Andrew Tate\u2018s divisive comments went viral across the internet, British YouTuber and podcast host True Geordie claimed he would \u201cabsolutely\u201d 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\u2019ve both since gone back and forth a few times throwing shade at one another. While Andrew claimed he\u2019d 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\u2019s religion, after he recently converted to Islam. The popular YouTuber was asked by a fan if he\u2019ll 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\u2019t stand a chance in the ring with Tate since \u201cgod is on his side\u201d since his conversion to the religion. True Geordie continued with comments deemed to be \u201cracist\u201d by critics, stereotyping that Andrew should \u201cblow himself up\u201d 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. \u201cThere are very few people I personally dislike, one of them is True Geordie,\u201d he said. \u201cHe\u2019s very insulting, fat, vulgar, he\u2019s a d**khead, and an unlikeable person. He\u2019s not very smart, he\u2019s stupid. \u201cNow after me converting to Islam, he made a piece on one of his podcasts saying I\u2019m not true in my conversion, and then insulted all Muslims. Making f**king racist comments about an entire religion as if that\u2019s 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.\u201d Tate continued: \u201cBut 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\u2019s gonna go without consequence, you\u2019re gonna learn very quickly my friend that was a mistake.\u201d Fans react to True Geordie \u201cIslamophobic\u201d comments It didn\u2019t take long for True Geordie to start facing backlash over the comments he made. \u201cBeing 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,\u201d one viewer wrote. \u201cAnyone saying anything like this shouldn\u2019t be representing the scene.\u201d \u201cWhat a despicable thing to say. They are actors and sometimes their real self reveals,\u201d one fan hit out. \u201cIt was a poor attempt of a joke trying to show his distaste for Andrew Tate however it\u2019s not acceptable and TrueGeordieTG should apologize as soon as possible and clear this up,\u201d said another. True Geordie apologizes for \u201cIslamophobic\u201d 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 \u201cstupid joke.\u201d \u201cI made a joke in questioning that \u2018newfound faith\u2019 of his, that conveniently comes at a time when he needs as many supporters as he can get,\u201d Geordie said of the matter. \u201cIt was a stupid joke.\u201d \u201cWhen I say that out loud, when I\u2019m 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\u2019t believe that\u2019s what Muslims actually do\u2026 It was a very stupid thing to say. It was an idiotic joke \u2013 one I\u2019m sorry for.\u201d Tate has yet to issue a response to Geordie\u2019s video at the time of writing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>True Geordie apologizes to Andrew Tate over \u201cIslamophobic\u201d comments True Geordie has apologized to controversial social media star Andrew Tate after being accused of making \u201cIslamophobic\u201d comments toward the kickboxer amid fight rumors between the two.
