Andrew Tate sparks outrage with racist remark on Diljit Dosanjh video

Tate's comment on singer's gesture triggers backlash on social media

Diljit Dosanjh kicked off his 2024 India Tour with an electrifying performance in Delhi. This global sensation plans to visit ten cities before the year concludes. Prior to this, he embarked on a world tour, with concert clips still trending on social media. One notable video depicts a touching moment where the Punjabi singer gifts his jacket to a female fan. Recently resurfacing on X, the clip has sparked controversy as some users criticised the woman’s husband for accepting the jacket. The post attracted a comment from the contentious British-American influencer Andrew Tate.

Andrew Tate, who often stirs up controversy, commented on the X post with a derogatory remark. He wrote, “Bet it stinks of curry,” in reference to the jacket handed to the fan by Diljit.

The video initially shared last month, captures Diljit presenting his jacket to the emotional fan, with her husband visibly moved by the gesture during the concert.

Andrew Tate, known for his contentious persona, is Emory Andrew Tate, born in 1986. He initially gained fame through the British version of Big Brother in 2016, although he was removed after six days due to a leaked video allegedly showing him attacking a woman. Tate, a former kickboxer, claimed the video was “edited.”

Currently, he is on trial in Romania for rape charges. Last year, authorities placed him under house arrest linked to allegations of forming a criminal group for sexual exploitation and human trafficking, alongside rape charges. Although released from house arrest, Tate must adhere to movement restrictions. His brother, Tristan, and two other associates face similar charges but deny any wrongdoing.
