Andrew Tate, the online phenomenon who rose to fame during the COVID-19 period, suffered a blow when he was arrested last year on severe allegations of human trafficking and money laundering. Tate’s stay in prison, however, was brief, since he was soon freed but placed under house arrest. Tate, better known as ‘Cobra,’ recently delivered his first interview after his release from prison in a significant development. Surprisingly, he opted to talk with a female journalist from the prestigious BBC broadcasting network. This interview has sent shockwaves across the internet, putting Tate back in the limelight.
During this very contentious exchange, the 36-year-old fiercely denied all of the claims brought against him, fuelling the furious debate among netizens even more. As a result, many have chosen sides, identifying with either the journalist or Tate, resulting in a major split among online groups.

Tate once jibed at Bumstead

After seeing Tate, the four-time Mr. Olympia pointed out that the weights he was lifting were too tiny. This irritated the controversial social media personality.
Heaviest weights I could find on the super yacht.
How heavy are the weights on your yacht?

He responded with a jab at the renowned bodybuilder. As stated by Tate, it was the heaviest weight available aboard the yacht. He also utilized his famous one-liner, which Tate frequently used to silence his critics. He inquired about the presence of any large weights on Bumstead’s yacht.
Interestingly, following the exchange, everything seemed to have calmed down between them. Chris Bumstead was likewise pleased with Tate’s release from jail. And, based on their previous interaction, it’s reasonable to conclude that they’re both on a good note.
