“I have 8.8 Million followers” - Andrew Tate lashes out at media report tying student’s university shooting plans with his beliefs

Andrew Tate does not have any tolerance for the slander of his name.

Despite the controversial figure he puts out on social media, Tate was quick to shoot down a recently published article labeling a young criminal as an 'Andrew Tate admirer.' The former kickboxer put the article on blast, stating the writer wrongfully tied his name into the situation.

As one of the most followed accounts on X, Tate claimed the article was a direct attack on his character and that his '8.8 million followers' are too many for him to know them all.

The 'Andrew Tate admirer' written in the article was later identified as Nicholas Rees, who was arrested for claiming he would shoot up Leeds Trinity University. Tate claimed his media content 'preached against' such acts, therefore finding an issue in the headline.

To end his rant, 'Cobra' called the story a 'matrix attack' on his name.

Tate's tweet comes on the heels of the influencer recently losing a defamation lawsuit case against a United States marine sergeant.
