Andrew Tate Says It's 'Important' He 'Lives As Long As Possible' Following Cancer Scare

You can throw Andrew Tate behind bars, but you can’t lock down his massive ego.

Days after Tate’s manager confirmed he was battling cancer, the social media influencer shot down that report.

Last week, we reported on his manager’s statement.

“Ok a lot of people are asking me if Tate lung cancer story is true. Yes it’s true, I was the one driving with him to and from the hospitals in Dubai. I don’t have any more specifics to share,” @thesartorialshooter wrote on his Instagram Story.

According to a Daily Mail report, Tate confirmed he had a “dark spot on his lung’ that is most likely a tumor.”

His team told the outlet, the kickboxer attended a medical consultation with doctors in Dubai about his “serious” health condition that must “not be taken lightly” before he was arrested in December.

He’s been receiving medical treatment in Romania for it, and Tate ensures he’s remaining “strong” and “in good shape.”

Tate’s doctors in Duabi and Romania revealed he has a lesion on his upper right lung.

A spokesperson for Tate said, “Andrew was made aware of his serious condition before his arrest, after attending a consultation in Dubai. As he could not be monitored by his chosen medical team in Dubai, it meant he was taken to a Romanian local clinic whilst in detention. No official diagnosis has been confirmed and he is in good shape and is staying strong. His doctors have requested that he returns to Dubai for further testing. Andrew has not demanded this. This is not a health issue to be taken lightly and all due diligence is being made to make sure he gets the best medical care that is available to him.”

The last time he visited a hospital in Dubai was December 5th and he got a chest x-ray.

However, Tate has since changed the story.

Taking to Twitter over the weekend, he wrote, “I do not have cancer. My lungs contain precisely 0 smoking damage. In fact, I have an 8L lung capacity and the vital signs of an Olympic athlete. There is nothing but a scar on my lung from an old battle. True warriors are scarred both inside and out.”

He didn’t stop there and continued to brag about how important it is for him to remain alive.

“As one of the most influential men on the face of the plant it is important for the good of humanity that I live as long as possible. At my current strength levels, I estimate to survive for at least 5000 more years. With this in mind, I take my medical care extremely seriously,” he wrote. “I had a regular checkup organized in Dubai pre-detention. The doctors were extremely interested in the scar on my lung. They do not understand how I survive without treatment. They do not know the secrets of Wudan. But this battle has long passed.”

Tate along with his brother and two female accomplices were arrested on December 29th on allegations of rape, human trafficking and setting up an organized crime group.

The Tate brothers have tried to appeal their sentencing, but a Romanian judge has since extended their detention for 30 days two times.
