BUCHAREST, ROMANIA: Emory Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate, known as the Tate Brothers, have found themselves embroiled in a social media storm after their recent livestream on Rumble.
The livestream aimed to address allegations of targeting Nico "Sneako" Kenn De Ballinthazy, a prominent and controversial streaming personality. However, the situation has only grown more complicated as conflicting statements and reactions from all parties involved continue to fuel the controversy.
Emory Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate are renowned social media personalities, successful businessmen, and three-time World Kickboxing Champions. Their combined presence in the online world and their athletic achievements have made them household names among their fans and followers.
On the other side of the spectrum, Nico "Sneako" Kenn De Ballinthazy has made a name for himself as a viral streaming sensation, primarily focusing on reaction and in-real-life (IRL) content. However, Sneako's path to fame has been paved with controversy, as he is known for creating contentious situations wherever he goes.
Did the Tate Brothers target Sneako?
The crux of the recent dispute lies in comments made by Andrew Tate during a past livestream on Rumble. In that stream, Andrew criticized certain streamers, describing them as "untalented attention seekers," "losers," and individuals lacking in experience and knowledge.
The online community, as well as Twitter pages like DramaAlert, quickly speculated that Andrew's remarks were directed at Sneako.
Sneako's response was swift, as he unfollowed Andrew Tate and addressed the comments on his own livestream. He expressed confusion and disappointment regarding the alleged feud and questioned why Andrew would engage in such a controversy amidst other pressing matters.
The Tate Brothers' denial and explanation
When Andrew and Tristan Tate reacted to Sneako's response, they vehemently denied targeting him. They were taken aback by the accusations and insisted that Andrew had not mentioned Sneako's name in his earlier statements. They emphasized that if they had meant to target Sneako, they would have openly mentioned his name without hesitation.
Tristan Tate even went further to describe Sneako as a "brother" to him, and Andrew clarified, "If I say a name, I mean it, and if I don't say a name, I don't mean it at you." He asserted that he would openly address someone if he had a problem with them.
Backlash and controversy over Andrew Tate's comments
Despite the Tate Brothers' claims, DramaAlert and other sources suggested that Sneako and another streamer known as N3on were the most likely targets of Andrew's comments.
The backlash against Andrew Tate has been substantial, with many in the online community labeling him as irrational and unfit to pass judgment on others. Critics argued that Andrew had also engaged in questionable behavior for financial gain, further undermining his credibility.
One user wrote, "Tate clearly subbed Sneako, why backtrack," while another said, "Sneako didn’t even respond, he left it as it is…so neither beefed with eachother, it was just a misunderstanding before of out of context clips."
Another user wrote, "L sneako shouldn’t respond in the first place."
