Andrew Tate, the controversial social media figure who had been arrested on human trafficking charges, has made a highly-anticipated return to the live-streaming scene after his release from detention. The charismatic personality, now under house arrest in Romania, drew significant attention, garnering an impressive 420,000 concurrent viewers on the Rumble platform.
Despite the ongoing legal proceedings surrounding Tate’s case, his comeback live stream on June 14 turned out to be a major success, with viewers eagerly tuning in to hear from the divisive social media megastar. The stream, titled “Emergency meeting – counter-attack,” featured Tate and his brother Tristan engaging in discussions about their steadfast worldviews, their time in jail, and the looming possibility of reimprisonment.

“They could imprison our bodies, but not our minds,” Tate boldly stated during the stream, showcasing his apparent resilience. However, the live session faced a momentary interruption when an unexpected power outage occurred at Tate’s residence, triggering a flurry of theories and conspiracies among viewers. Some viewers even referred to the outage as a “Matrix attack” intended to silence the brothers.
The moment Tate start talking about the Matrix, the power went out.
Coincidence?
I’d Say MATRIX ATTACK.

Rumble, the platform on which the live stream was hosted, hailed the event as a “massive technological feat.” While Rumble claimed that their servers in the United States experienced no issues, it was reported that certain international viewers encountered lagging during the broadcast. Rumble addressed the matter through a tweet, stating, “Not our problem.”
Massive technological feat today with over 435,000 live viewers on one stream.
Our servers in the USA were humming flawlessly, without issue.
If you were overseas, some ISP’s couldn’t keep up with the size of the livestream and may have experienced some lag (not our problem).

Although the live stream’s viewership of 420,000 concurrent viewers is an impressive figure and one of the biggest broadcasts on Rumble this year, it falls just short of breaking into the top 20 most-watched streams across popular platforms such as YouTube and Twitch.
As Andrew Tate’s legal saga continues to unfold, his return to live-streaming has captivated a significant audience, demonstrating the enduring fascination surrounding his persona and viewpoints.
