A glimpse into Andrew Tate's last 3 years
In his recent tweet, Tate reflects on the last three years of his life, acknowledging his remarkable journey.
He described how he transitioned from being a niche internet celebrity four years ago with a small YouTube channel, several Twitter bans, and a few nice cars, to becoming one of the most well-known and respected figures globally.
He said, "We are in the middle of reviewing the car, and somebody came over to me and said, Tate, I have been following you for years, and it just came to my mind. If you remember, four years ago, I was a niche internet celebrity. I was online, and I had been banned on everything. I had a small YouTube channel which got banned. I had 40,000 followers on Twitter or something on my eighth account, which kept getting banned, and I had money. I had a few nice cars, three or four supercars. Buying a supercar was a big deal to me. I wouldn't just buy a car like this that I have never tested, never driven,' hinted at the car which he was driving while giving his 'Tate speech."
Tate further said, "Three years ago, my life was 'x,' and now my life is 'x' plus a little bit. It's not monumentally different. I would like to think that anybody who has been following me would actually sit and look and think, Wow, compared to myself or anybody else on the internet, any of these celebrities, they have outworked and outperformed me. I should have done something amazing with my life in the last three years, and I have done nothing."
He said, "I say these things to people, and I think the only way to motivate a person is by making them feel ashamed. I am not trying to insult you, and I am not trying to be arrogant. I am trying to say that it took me three years to go from this point to looking absolutely like that."
Concluding his statement, Tate added, "What have you achieved, you might be on the same job, the same house, with the same girl driving the same car."
