However, he continues to draw a massive following – predominantly among boys and young men – with his self-described misogynistic way of life.
The 36-year-old’s arrest as part of an investigation into alleged human trafficking in Romania has now brought him to the attention of plenty who weren’t familiar with his name.
Where is Andrew Tate from?
