Andrew Tate — a self-proclaimed mysoginist currently in Romanian custody over human trafficking allegations — has lung cancer, his manager confirmed Friday on Instagram.
Tate, 36, reportedly has a “dark spot on his lung,” according to his legal team. They claim that it is “most likely a tumor.”

“Yes, it’s true.” Tate’s manager wrote. “I was the one driving with him to and from the hospital in Dubai. I don’t have any more specifics to share.”
His manager, known as The Sartorial Shooter, confirmed the story shortly after reports claimed Tate’s team wanted him to receive treatment in Dubai.
Tate’s doctors, both in Dubai and Romania, reportedly confirmed he has a lesion of his upper right lung. He did not receive permission to leave the country for treatment and will be detained for at least until the end of March.
No mercy for Andrew Tate amid cancer news
The usual suspects to defend Tate, such as Adin Ross, were quick to claim that “The Matrix” was trying to kill their fallen hero.
Others, however, had no mercy when trolling Tate online. Just a couple days prior, people were making fun of his inability to grow a full head of hair because he constantly bragged that he was bald by choice.
While news of cancer would often make trolls ease up on their target, the announcement only added fuel to the fire, who shared countless memes ccelebrating Tate’s illness.
