Andrew Tate is one of the most controversial social media personalities. He is known for promoting misogynistic views. The internet sensation has now looked horns with Desis following a racist dig at Dijit Dosanjh. Tate dropped an unparliamentary comment on a video of a fan at his concert, which did not sit well with social media users.
A video of an Indian couple who attended the Diljit Dosanjh concert is going viral online. In the clip, Diljit can be seen gifting his jacket to the woman. Touched by the moment, her husband was moved to tears. The video was mockingly shared by a user who wrote, “Men used to go to war.. now they’re shedding tears of joy because their wife got someone else’s used jacket.” However, it was Tate's comment that caught eyeballs.
Reacting to the video, Andrew Tate wrote, “Bet it stinks of curry". His comment quickly went viral online, with fans of the singer slamming him for the racist dig. He has yet to apologise or acknowledge the issue.
By dropping such a comment, the internet personality implied that Indians (here, Diljit Dosanjh) are unhygienic and stereotypical. The term ‘curry’ is usually associated with spicy, gravy dishes typically made in South Asia.
Social media users bashed Andrew Tate for his remark. Fans of Diljit Dosanjh socially pointed out to him that his joke is not funny. A user mentioned, "Diljit is millions times the man you are". Another quipped, “Still smells better than sexual misconduct,” referring to Tate's ongoing trials for sexual misconduct.
