Controversial internet personality Andrew Tate has shown his support for YouTube star IShowSpeed, who is currently attempting to break the 24-hour backflip world record. According to Guinness World Records, an Austrian athlete and adventure sports enthusiast named Nico Scheicher has done the most back somersaults in a single day.
To beat Scheicher, IShowSpeed will need to do more than 1,001 backflips within 24 hours. Tate, a former kickboxer-turned-online influencer, fully supports the endeavor.
In a post on X, Tate talked about the streamer's past antics, claiming that attempting to break the backflip world record is better than "screaming at children":
"Instead of screaming at babies, IShowSpeed is finally doing something cool. Its cool because it takes dedication and hard work. Support him on his mission to break the backflip world record," wrote Andrew Tate on X.

Over the years, Andrew Tate has become quite a controversial figure. He has feuded with fellow internet personalities on numerous occasions.
Earlier this year, Tate criticized IShowSpeed for a viral video where the streamer had accidentally made a child cry. He even posted the clip on his X account and called the YouTuber a clown for seemingly screaming at the infant.
The post quickly went viral, with people taking sides in the comment section.
Andrew Tate's brother, Tristan, had also weighed in on the situation and had some choice words for IShowSpeed.
"I’ve never seen a clip of this di**head I thought was beneficial or useful for any young person to watch. Act like a monkey. Take the money. Poison the minds of the youth.", wrote Tristan Tate.
While Tristan has not commented on the world record attempt yet, Andrew Tate has encouraged people to support IShowSpeed as he tries to do the most number of backflips in 24 hours.
