Andrew Tate will remain confined to his home for the time being.

The saga of Andrew Tate has been one that has loomed large in recent months. The lifestyle influencer and former kickboxer gained controversy for his lavish lifestyle and misogynistic views. These included comments about women belonging "in the home" and tenants of his lifestyle course that call for women to be subservient.

Tate was arrested in December 2022 in Romania, where he had resided since 2017. Tate, his brother, and two women were taken in custody. The quartet was reportedly being held in connection to a human trafficking investigation that was linked to Tate and his webcam live-streaming business. However, at the time of writing, no official indictment has been filed.

Tate Gives Tweet Update

Andrew Tate was moved to house arrest on March 31, after spending the past two months in a Romanian prison. At that time, his detention had been extended for a fourth time. It also included a third denial of bail for Tate. Scheduled to appear in court again on April 21, Tate tweeted "Court in an hour. I trust god because he knows best. Maybe I need more hell. Send me to jail." Religion has often been an important pillar of Tate's life. He has previously identified as Christian, atheist, Christian again, and Eastern Orthodox. One of his most viral moments pre-arrest came when he visited a mosque in Dubai last year.

It appears that God heard his prayer, as Tate's house arrest was extended for another 30 days. This prompted another tweet from Tate, accompanied by a video of him pacing around his house smoking a cigar. "30 more days on house arrest. 30 more days suppressed. No EMs. I havnt been free for a single day this year. The battle rages against Shaitan." Shaitan is an evil Islamic spirit that encourages people to sin by whispering to their hearts. Furthermore, in October 2022, Tate revealed he had converted to Islam. He has since gone back to his usual habits of posting pro-Tate videos and tweets. However, the latest addition to his house arrest sentence means that the case of Andrew Tate is far from over. Be sure to check back at HotNewHipHop for all the latest news on the Andrew Tate case.
