He gained the international spotlight with comments that sexual assault victims should ‘take responsibility’ for their experiences. Social media platform Twitter eventually banned him as a result. Citing their policies that ‘misogyny is a terrible ideology that is not permitted,’ other portals such as TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram followed suit in banning The Top G.

Videos that frequently appear show him traveling in a private aircraft, flashing luxury sports cars, and on lavish vacations. No wonder Andrew Tate gained widespread popularity, especially among young men.
