Disagreeing with his brother Jake Paul's take on Andrew Tate's ban from social media, Logan Paul has called out the controversial figure for his anti-women rhetoric in the latest episode of the podcast IMPAULSIVE. The Maverick opened up about his past willingness to fight Tate and how he let the chance go because he did not want to platform the former kickboxer and his views.
Coming out in full support of the ban, the Paul brother thought it was a good thing that social media platforms had done and declared that Andrew Tate would become irrelevant by 2023.

Tate was recently banned from all major social media platforms, including TikTok and YouTube. The domino effect of subsequent bans began when Meta banned the contentious character from Facebook and Instagram on August 20, 2022. The BBC reported that a Meta spokesperson cited a violation of its terms and services pertaining to "dangerous organizations and individuals" for the suspension.
Logan Paul talks about Andrew Tate in Episode 341 of the IMPAULSIVE podcast
Logan Paul went against his brother's initial claims about Tate's ban when he had previously talked about it on a podcast. Jake had, in a way, platformed Tate by releasing his 'final message' on his Twitter. It was an hour-long video where the disgraced internet personality tried to defend his actions.
However, Logan was having none of it. He explained to his fellow podcasters that Twitter, Instagram, and other social media giants were right to ban someone who has already influenced so many people to start behaving poorly towards women. He urged fellow content creators not to let Tate speak on their platforms:
"You wanna give him another opportunity to speak and ride his agenda because whether you believe it or not, the sh*t that Andrew Tate is saying will have a ripple effect much more dangerous than you could imagine because his narrative is truly hateful."
Mike Mijlak, the other host of the podcast, added another crucial point. He essentially said that Tate was a hypocrite who wanted men to embrace hyper-masculinity but has made most of his money exploiting gullible men through his cam-model business:
"He has no family. He has no wife... He has made the majority of his money off of camgirls' OnlyFans management and casinos. The downfall of the traditionalist male... How can you preach a return to traditionalism and conservatism when your entire platform and your entire net worth is based on the same things that you preach against."
After agreeing with Mijlak's thoughts, Logan Paul gave his final opinions on Andrew Tate:
"If everything he said about everything he believes in is true. Then he is not gonna do. So as of now, my statement stands, the one I made on your vlog. That by 2023, he will not have a sliver of relevancy, hopefully. And... Yeah no, f*ck him. F*ck him. I'm glad he's gone."
Reactions
Logan Paul's anti-Andrew Tate statements have received a lot of mixed reactions on social media. Both have enormous fanbases due to their popularity on the internet, and both had fans siding with their preferred party as they took to Twitter or YouTube to express themselves:
