KSI slams Andrew Tate's 'Top G' persona as 'cringey' and tells fans 'don't put me on a pedestal'

KSI has hit out at Andrew Tate and called his 'Top G' persona 'cringey' in a recent interview. The YouTuber and rapper, who is returning to the boxing ring this weekend to fight fellow YouTuber FaZe Temperrr, has said he wouldn't want his fans to 'worship him' and wouldn't want the same 'Top G' title as Tate.

Andrew Tate has built up a huge online following and worldwide fame after proudly claiming to be misogynist. He has previously described women as "intrinsically lazy" and said there was "no such thing as an independent female" and as a result he has been banned from YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.

Tate, a four-time kickboxing world champion, claims he's a "self-made millionaire" thanks to a webcam business he runs with his brother. They are both currently detained in Romania as a part of a human trafficking and rape investigation.
