A clip of contentious internet personality Andrew Tate taking a dig at Kick streamers has gone viral after it was shared extensively on social media. The relatively new streaming platform has garnered a lot of popularity in the last year despite several controversies. Tate, however, appeared to take a shot at the people who watch the content creators on the website during a recent livestream on Rumble with his brother Tristan.
Andrew Tate himself has made guest appearances on a lot of streams over the years, having collaborated with creators such as Adin Ross, who is perhaps one of the most popular Kick streamers out there. However, it seems that he does not approve of those who watch content creators on the said platform since he categorically dissed them, saying they would amount to nothing as they would rather watch "idiots" than do something with their lives.
While addressing his audience, he stated:
"There's still someone who is going to sit and watch all of this (referring to his show on Rumble) and turn this off and go watch some Kick stream of idiots walking around with phones talking s**t. And they are just going to go do that and stay a f**king nobody. I don't know what else I can say to these people, Tristan."
