Reigning Mr. Olympia Classic Physique champ Chris Bumstead got into a back-and-forth with the massively popular Andrew Tate. In a hilarious exchange, the pair exchanged a few sarcastic comments on Twitter. However, there’s a catch, and Bumstead revealed it to an 11.7 million fan base on Instagram.

Chris first caught the public’s eye in 2017 when he finished second in the Mr. Olympia Classic Physique category. However, Bumstead’s popularity exploded in 2019 after he won the Classic Physique title for the first time. Chris now has millions of followers across all social media accounts and more than a few impersonators.

Chris Bumstead vs. Andrew Tate with a catch

Earlier today, the three-time Mr. Olympia winner posted a story on Instagram. It was a screenshot of a short conversation between him and retired kickboxer Andrew Tate. Chris commented on a picture of Tate performing a bench press with dumbbells. The bodybuilding star commented, “Tiny weights” on the recently posted image.

However, Tate replied to Chris with a subtle hint of sarcasm. “Heaviest weights I could find on the super yacht… How heavy are the weights on your super yacht?”. While Chris said the exchange was hilarious in his Instagram story, Chris also revealed he didn’t have a Twitter account. “I don’t have Twitter, but this is hilarious if it’s real,” wrote Bumstead in his caption.

All social media platforms banned Andrew Tate earlier this year. However, Twitter lifted the ban. A telltale something wasn’t right with the screenshot Chris posted was the absence of the blue tick beside his account handles.

The blue tick beside someone’s account handle proves it’s their official account to other users. Public figures like Chris generally have the blue tick on their official social media pages. Bumstead’s YouTube and Instagram accounts are both verified.

It has happened before

The fake Chris Bumstead account on Twitter has fooled users before. On June 22, Jake Paul called out Tommy Fury for pulling out at the last moment. In the video, Paul criticizes Tommy for being unprofessional. “Tommy Fury and boxers like him are the reason this sport started to die,” wrote Jake. The fake Bumstead account commented on Jake’s post writing, “Facts,”

The comment got nearly 100 likes. One fan got fooled and thought the actual Chris had commented. However, another fan pointed out it was a fake account.
