British-American influencer Andrew Tait is facing backlash after making racist comments about Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh.
Diljit gifted his jacket to his fan in an emotional moment at a Delhi concert during his recent visit to India. The video quickly went viral on social media, in which Diljit’s fans and her husband were seen getting emotional with joy.
However, the beautiful moment was marred by a comment from Andrew Tait, in which he said, “There will be a smell.” Internet users immediately criticized Tate for this racist statement.
One user responded, “Still smells better than sexual misconduct,” while another commented, “Is a corrupt jacket worse or sex crimes?”
Tate has prior felony charges of sexual abuse and trafficking of minors, which are still under investigation. It is alleged that he could face up to a decade in prison if convicted, but Tate denies all these claims.
Andrew Tait has also recently been embroiled in a social media spat with an Indian-origin doctor, Kirti Patel, in which he made sarcastic comments about Patel’s physical appearance.
