Since his arrest, Tate's Twitter account has shared a steady stream of real-time updates about the influencer's daily life and his teachings on masculinity, making money, and lifestyle.
This led many to wonder whether the former kickboxer was posting from his cell.
While many were left questioning, Romanian Lawyer Stefan Loredan stated it was impossible for him to tweet from inside and added:
"In terms of his tweets, I think there's somebody else tweeting on his behalf, if you ask me. I don't think he has a phone inside."
In a recent podcast interview with The3Muslims on YouTube, Tate's alleged manager, who goes by Sartorial Shooter, revealed that the former kickboxer is not the one tweeting from jail.
The Australian influencer, who chose not to reveal his real name, is a vocal ally of Tate. He claimed:
"There is a direct line of contact between Andrew and whoever controls TOP G’s Twitter name via a lawyer. Tate is communicating every day with his team."
The Australian once stated that he is just a "good mate" of Andrew Tate's and added that he "manages himself."
The British-Romanian influencer's detention was extended on February 21, 2023, for a third time. With the new deadline, he will remain in custody until the end of March.
