Followers Believe That Banned Influencer Andrew Tate Has Snuck Back Onto Twitter Again
On Oct. 30, the account addressed a question “many have been asking”: whether new Twitter owner Elon Musk would reverse the ban on Tate.
“Until CobraTate is unbanned OFFICIALLY, ‘Andrew Tate’ is still banned,” @morpheusresist tweeted. “I must still say I am NOT Top G as a precautionary measure so the word can continue to be spread.” Top G is the nickname that Tate has given himself.
Other posts were less nebulous about who’s behind the profile. On Nov. 1, the account tweeted, “I, Emory Andrew Tate the 3rd, have more than you.”
And numerous followers seem to believe @morpheusresist is Tate himself. Last week, professional cage fighter Jenaid Ebanks tweeted at the profile, “glad your back son, @twitter needs you.”
When approached for comment on Oct. 28, Tate denied the account was his. “I don’t have any active Twitter accounts. There are many fake accounts pretending to be me,” he said via a representative. After BuzzFeed News reached out to that same rep yesterday to inquire about the @morpheusresist tweets quoted above, the tweets in question were deleted.
The account, whose bio has since been changed to say it’s a “parody,” also links to Tate’s site, where he sells access to his life coaching courses, including a networking club called the War Room that costs $4,497. The site boasts that “members and their sons will remain the closed wielders of global influence into eternity.”
A recent BuzzFeed News investigation found that another of Tate’s life coaching programs, Hustlers University 2.0, made $11 million in just one month. A post on the course’s Discord server, seen by BuzzFeed News, showed that Tate paid his students to set up social media pages promoting his courses.
