The saga of controversial former kickboxer Andrew Tate, and KSI, doesn’t seem to be ending soon. Although Tate was banned from the social media platforms, many people were in his support to get him back on the platforms.

However, it seems that the YouTube sensation, KSI, made his thoughts amply clear after he came out and supported Tate’s ban. Moreover, he even called out Top G after his 2-fights in a single night event, adding fuel to the fire. Tate was also not shy to call KSI out as he accused the British YouTuber of being a hypocrite after changing his views. He also claimed that KSI had said more controversial things than him but wasn’t banned from any platform.
Fans sound off on KSI’s hypocrisy
Fans seemed to agree with this notion as they came out in Tate’s support and pointed out KSI’s hypocrisy. One fan mocked KSI’s now-deleted tweet, where he thanked god that Tate got banned. The fan also posted a video of KSI asking women awkward and uncomfortable questions.

Another fan defended Tate stating that one look into his videos could prove that he was not a misogynist. He also posted a video of KSI doing controversial things while making fun of him.
"Andrew Tate is such a misogynistic man that hates, rapes, abuses and is sexist to women."
Although one look disproves it all.
You are no longer "innocent until
proven guilty" if they don't like you.Since Top G is so "dangerous" dangerous people must be banned, right @KSI 🙂 pic.twitter.com/8bpjuuwKNB

Moreover, another fan pointed out KSI’s hypocrisy. He claimed that KSI had no right to call out Tate after doing things that were far more controversial.
KSI celebrating Andrew Tate's cancelation is crazy. I'm old enough to remember some of those videos KSI use to upload and they were 10x worse than what Tate is saying.
People forgave KSI and allowed him to redeem himself, so not giving Tate that privilege is crazy

Another fan publicly called out KSI, asking him to address the backlash he was receiving. He also suggested that KSI might be the ‘woman hater’ not Tate.
Is Andrew Tate the woman hater or KSI?
When have you ever heard Andrew mention any form of hate towards women? Never.
Why are you hiding @KSI? We thought you liked internet beef.#freethetruth pic.twitter.com/FuPHWP0Xkq

Furthermore, another fan stated that he would do a 180-turn if he got canceled by Twitter. He also called him out for being fake.
@KSI gotta be the worst famous tweeter, if this man got canceled by twitter he’d be hating twitter and saying how twitter is sensitive but he’s on their side when it comes to andrew tate; idk seems fake as hell no matter what you believe.

Lastly, one fan stated that he was disappointed with KSI. He compared The Nightmare to his fellow YouTuber, Jake Paul, who came out to stand for freedom of speech, although he did not fully agree with Tate.
Jake paul supporting Andrew tate on freedom of speech while KSI standing with Andrew Tate getting banned and censored really disappointed me in KSI. That's my favorite YouTuber ever, KSI is my childhood. So disappointed in JJ i hope he responds to his own tweet.

Why did KSI change his opinion on Tate?
The fans who have followed The Nightmare for a long time know that he was not a stranger to controversy during his early days. However, it was a time when the internet was much less regulated and people were not always politically correct.

This might have been the reason, The Nightmare chose to support Tate’s ban. It’s in his best interest to protect his brand and being associated with a controversial figure like Tate might have negative consequences for him.
