Controversial internet personality Andrew Tate has been making headlines ever since he was recently arrested along with his brother, on charges of human trafficking, r*pe, and organized crime.
Following the debacle, several clips featuring the influencer have now gone viral. One of them, in particular, gained more prominence, with Andrew Tate seemingly predicting his arrest and claiming that the authorities were "going to try to kill" him.
The former professional kickboxer asserted that he would "never kill himself," stating:
"They're either gonna try to put me in jail, or they're gonna kill me, and I would never kill myself in any circumstances, ever!"
Why did Andrew Tate predict getting arrested in the viral clip?
The Twitter account @StokeyyG2 shared a 47-second podcast clip in which Andrew Tate predicted that he would get arrested. The video began with him believing that the authorities were "going to try to kill" him as he stated:
"Listen, I'm going to say this on the podcast now, as I say it in every other one. I would never ever kill myself. I truly believe that they're either gonna try to kill me, in a long enough timeframe. Because they try to shut me up and I won't shut up."
Tate went on to say that "they" will either imprison him or try to murder him. He explained the strong statements by saying "they" decided whether you were guilty or not "long before":
"The reason I say this, and I say this and people go, 'But what can they put you in jail for?' And I'm like, 'How ignorant are you?! In your ignorance to believe they need a reason. You believe it's fair? You believe I can get a lawyer and prove myself innocent?!' That's not how it works. They decide you're guilty long before and they find a reason why."
The podcast clip concluded with the 36-year-old mentioning that every single system was corrupted and that people did not "understand the world":
"And it doesn't matter what you do about it, you will pay the f***ing price. It's not fair! None of it is. Every single system is corrupt. It actually annoys me when people say it to you, 'You should just get a lawyer. Why? They can't put you in jail if you're innocent.' Yes, they f***ing can! And that's what people don't understand about the world."
