Former professional kickboxer turned social media sensation Andrew Tate has recently been released from prison after months in captivity. The controversial star was arrested at the start of the year on charges of human trafficking. However, it looks like the authorities have not found enough evidence to prosecute him leading them to release him and his brother Tristan Tate.

Moreover, it also seems that Tate is back to calling people out on social media with English singer Sam Smith as his new target. The singer has been the center of a new controversy after donning devil headwear and holding a red pitchfork during one of his performances at the Gloria Tour. This move has drawn criticism from many quarters, with some fans and critics alike questioning the need for Smith to promote such themes in his performance. This includes Tate, who recently took to social media to express his disapproval of the singer’s decision to “worship” the devil.

Andrew Tate sounds off on Sam Smith following his prison release

The post soon went viral, with many users supporting Tate’s stance. However, there were also those who defended the singer, saying that he has every right to express himself.

Smith has yet to respond to the criticism, but this is not the first time he has come under fire. Last year, he faced a backlash after he claimed to be the first openly gay man to win an Oscar. However, this statement was widely criticized as being factually incorrect.

While it is important to respect artists’ creative expression, it is also understandable to question the messages they are trying to convey.
