Hard to understand why Andrew Tate is so well known and was able to raise millions of dollars on the Internet.
Regardless, if you are locked up in a Romanian jail and all your local property has been confiscated, you have a BIG problem.
He was on Tik Tock which makes it easy to market to kids and to reach millions of people. Teachers and parents across the country report their kids were real big on Tate, calling women dogs and such, copying him. Demographically, it seems he was multicultural, with tons of minorities following him and probably his biggest supporters. Hence the Islam conversion, because “Islam” is big amongst sports players, rappers, criminals in general.
