"KSI vs Tate. Make it happen!" - Netizens react to KSI and Andrew Tate's back-and-forth
Andrew Tate and KSI have a history of feuding, with both calling out the other on multiple occasions. On August 31, 2022, the latter went off when the former got de-platformed from the internet. Sharing his thoughts on the matter, KSI remarked:
"You want to come at me? You want to be like, 'Yeah, Jake Paul's gonna smoke me.' Shut the f**k up with your Top G s**t and your whole escape the Matrix b*llocks. He said I was a fan. I never was a fan. I said I agreed with some of your comments when it came to hard work and success."
The former professional kickboxer has also not held back his sentiments. During an episode of the Tate Speech: Emergency Meeting podcast, he referred to KSI as a "hypocrite," and said:
"This is a personal message to you KSI. I had no problem with you. I don't f***ing know you. I don't watch your bulls**t YouTube channel.

There is nothing more disgusting in the world than a male hypocrite."
