Popular British YouTuber turned boxer Olajide "KSI" has called out contentious internet personality Andrew Tate. The two clashed in an exchange on X after Tate used racial slurs in one of his recent posts. Olajide replied to it by claiming that Andrew had "fully lost it."

The younger Tate brother is known for his highly controversial takes and has invited a lot of criticism from social media for the comments he has made about women in the past. In his latest post, he appeared to be denigrating people of African, South Asian, and Chinese descent by using slurs often associated to refer to these ethnicities.

Andrew Tate wrote:

"Verified Ni**ers only. Too many P**is talking s**t. And ch**ks."

KSI was one of the people who called him out about the comment and stated:

"Bro what are you doing man? You've fully lost it these past few weeks"

The exchange has garnered a lot of attention on social media as both parties involved boast millions of followers on X, and supporters naturally picked their own sides in the clash. Many noted Tate's mixed ethnicity but still criticized him for using such language. X user Delvaux X wrote:

"It’s true but apparently he’s ’half black’ doesn’t make it right at all"

Others claimed that Andrew Tate was just seeking attention:

"Tate is just farming because he's irrelevant now", said another social media user

Some praised KSI for calling him out.

"Mature response tbh", wrote another

What is Andrew Tate's ethnic background? KSI calls him out for his recent post about race

Andrew Tate has made a name for himself through his orthodox rhetoric that has been labeled misogynistic and problematic by many. The former kickboxer currently resides in Romania and has been under investigation for human trafficking and sexual crimes which put him on a no-fly list.

He and his brother were raised in the United States of America and are biracial. Andrew's late father Emory Tate was African American and an international chess master while his mother Eileen Tate is white and previously worked as a catering assistant. Moreover, Eileen is British (like KSI), and Andrew later moved to the UK and lived there for many years.

The first major controversy surrounding Andrew Tate was when he got booted off the UK television program Big Brother. More recently, he has made the news for inflammatory clips from various podcast appearances.

Readers should note that this is not the first time that Andrew Tate and KSI have clashed online. The Sidemen member said he was ready to take on the controversial personality in a boxing match back in 2022, causing quite a lot of back and forth on social media.
