BUCHAREST, ROMANIA: On October 3, Andrew Tate aka the 'Top G' or Cobra Tate touched 8 million followers on X (previously known as Twitter). Notably, Tate had been initially banned by Twitter in 2017 for controversial comments related to the #MeToo movement.

In November 2022, the kickboxer returned to the platform, announcing to his supporters that it was time to "escape the Matrix." Tate is recognized for his controversial and misogynistic statements, often portraying himself with fast cars, guns, and as a cigar-smoking playboy.

In December 2022, he was arrested on suspicion of human trafficking and rape.
