Conversion to Islam
Controversial influencer Andrew Tate has converted to Islam, according to several claims on social media.
“This is why I’m Muslim,” a verified account called ‘Andrew Tate’ wrote in a post on the conservative social media site Gettr.
“Any Christian who believes in good and understands the true battle against evil must convert. “So be patient, Indeed the promise of Allah is TRUTH” Quran 30:60.”
