Tate is currently facing legal proceedings in Romania, where he stands accused of being part of an organized crime group focused on sexually exploiting women. Alongside his brother Tristan, Tate has been implicated in a human trafficking operation that spans multiple countries including Romania, the United States, and the United Kingdom. The brothers allegedly coerced women into their operation through intimidation, surveillance, debt, and non-consensual dissemination of intimate images.
Recent reports from the BBC reveal that the siblings are also facing accusations of tax evasion on a substantial sum of money generated from their online business ventures. It is claimed that they failed to pay tax on approximately £21 million, equivalent to over $27 million, sparking further legal troubles. The Devon and Cornwall Police in the UK have noted that Tate openly boasted about evading tax obligations during his time living in the country, stating, “When I lived in England I refused to pay tax.”
In addition to his legal entanglements, Tate has gained attention for his vocal criticism of hip-hop. Earlier this year, he condemned Ice Spice, labeling her as “a demon” simply because she was photographed wearing an inverted cross. Tate’s controversial statements and actions have fueled public debate and scrutiny surrounding his character and ethics.
