Tate again became the center of criticism after he made the comments regarding rape after the #MeToo movement.

Weren’t abused. […] If you put yourself in a position to be raped, you must bare some responsibility.”

Why has Andrew Tate suddenly gone viral?

This isn’t one individual clip or moment which brought him into the limelight; there are numerous statements that made him viral on the internet. Although, one of the comments which brought him into a great deal of fame was his resolution to call out Jake Paul for a fight. He asserted that he earlier offered £2.5million to Paul to take him on in 2020.

andrewHe told in The Fellas podcast. “I don’t dislike him, I understand him, but I want to make something clear, I would still kick the living f*** out of Jake Paul,”. “I’m not some washed-up UFC fighter and I’m not smaller than him, I would beat the living s*** out of him and if he wants to fight I’ll fight him any day of the f****ng week. He’s very smart with his ‘I’m just a YouTuber angle’.”

He added: “You’re a full-grown man with the best coaches in the world who has dedicated years to learning how to box. The guy’s not a jack*** and the fact he puts this spin on it is very smart.”

jake paul “I offered him $3million at the time, I don’t think it’s about money for him I think it’s about credibility and fame. Him fighting me is a massive risk for him, he knows that. I’d love to kick the f*** out of the guy because I love to fight, that’s the difference between me and everyone else he’s fought,” Tate continued.

“I’m not some desperate guy at the end of his career who needs the money. I would dedicate my life [to training], treat him like a professional, and I would destroy him like I’ve destroyed all of the professionals I have ever fought.” He was asked about the chances of fighting Tate in a press conference held recently, and in reply to this query, he said, “I don’t know who that is.”
