BUCHAREST, ROMANIA: Andrew Tate, the controversial influencer and former kickboxer who is currently facing charges in Romania for rape, human trafficking, and organized crime to exploit women, has come under fire for a tweet. The tweet, which was shared less than 24 hours after the tragic deaths of the five passengers in the OceanGate Titanic exploration submersible incident were confirmed, appeared to mock the victims.
This insensitive act has drawn widespread condemnation, further intensifying the scrutiny surrounding Tate's actions and remarks. He is notorious for his polarizing opinions on social media.
'If wifey needs me, I'll be right there'
On June 23, Tate appeared to belittle and ridicule victims of the Titan submersible in a tweet. Tate wrote, "I dont care what submarine im on if wifey needs me ill be right there :) On my way baby, swimming baby, have a towel waiting baby."
In recent months, Tate has incorporated the term 'wifey' into his social media posts as a way to refer to women and uphold his alpha male persona. Tate's mockery of the submarine garnered significant attention from social media users.
'Top G would have refloated the Titanic'
After Tate's tweet regarding the five Titan submersible victims, numerous users went on to share their feelings concerning the incident as well as Tate's reaction. One user wrote, "Top G would have refloated the Titanic on the way back up." Another user wrote, "If he doesn't swim across the Atlantic for you, He ain't the one." A user shared a video of Tate underwater and wrote, "Me training to rescue my girl from the bottom of the Atlantic." Another user shared a scenario Tate might be stuck in while underwater, "Sorry for being late baby, There was this fish kingdom I had to fight on my way, some shark men with guns... No baby, you are on time." A user stated, "Haha… I love how Tate counters all the red pill dorks! What are they gonna do? Fight him?"
