Emory Andrew Tate III (born December 1, 1986) is an American-British social media personality, businessman, and former professional kickboxer. He gained initial fame as a world champion in kickboxing and later rose to broader notoriety through his online persona, which has sparked widespread attention and criticism for controversial opinions on gender, masculinity, and society.
Early Life
Andrew Tate was born in Washington, D.C., United States, and raised partly in both the U.S. and the United Kingdom. His father, Emory Tate, was an International Master in chess and known for his competitive prowess. Tate has a younger brother, Tristan Tate, who is also active on social media and in business ventures.

He presents himself as a motivational speaker and entrepreneur, promoting "hustle culture" and offering online courses through his network of businesses such as "Hustler's University."
His content has been banned from several platforms, including Twitter (now X), TikTok, and Instagram at various times for alleged violations of community guidelines, particularly regarding hate speech and misogyny. Despite this, his audience has continued to grow through alternate platforms and fan reposts.
Legal Issues
