‘Soon they will try and kill me’

Andrew Tate has posted a farewell message on Twitter after claiming that “the Matrix” are soon going to kill him.

In a tweet on Wednesday afternoon, he wrote: “If they kill me I love you all.”

This came after he bizarrely claimed “the Matrix offered me money to sell my soul and aid the devil,” and that “they will try and kill me.”

Last month he posted a similar tweet.

Earlier this year, Tate was banned from YouTube, Facebook and Instagram for breaching the platforms’ rules on hate speech.

The 35-year-old has gained notoriety this year because of his inflammatory and misogynistic views on women.

This includes videos where he has said that “women can’t drive,” that women are men’s “property” and that “18-year-old women are “more attractive than 25-year-olds because they’ve been through less d***.”

He has even gone as far to say that rape victims should “bear responsibility” for their attacks.

Following YouTube’s announcement in August that they were removing him from the platform, a spokesperson for the company said he had been removed because of “multiple violations” of YouTube’s community guidelines and terms of service, including its hate speech policy.

They added: “If a channel is terminated, the uploader is unable to use, own or create any other YouTube channels.”

The move to ban the 35-year-old from YouTube has been praised by Hope Not Hate.

Joe Mulhall, director of research at the campaign group, said: “We are delighted that after discussions with YouTube, and our public campaigning, they have permanently removed his account.

“Andrew Tate’s YouTube account was a huge source for harmful content which spread like wildfire across the internet.

“But more action is required from all major tech platforms to make the internet a safer place. Removing Tate’s accounts from platforms does not automatically remove his content.’
