Tristan Tate came to the defense of two Target employees who were dubbed 'racist' after they refused to let a singer record a music video in the store

BUCHAREST, ROMANIA: Tristan Tate is embroiled in another controversy due to his remarks. This time the younger brother of Andrew Tate has come to the defense of two target employees.

Tristan, much like Andrew, is known for his unapologetically outspoken behavior. He frequently utilizes his Twitter account to provide heated views on a variety of topics, as well as to engage in social commentary, typically in an abrasive manner.

Tristan Tate defends two target employees

Former kickboxer turned influencer recently took to Twitter to defend two Target employees who have been branded racist by a pop singer who goes by the name Baby Storme.

She and a flash mob she directed filmed a music video at Target without obtaining any permits to film on private property. Tristan Tate brought this to the attention of his followers.

On August 15, Tate wrote on Twitter, "These two men are "Racist". Why? They tried to stop a group of ratchet wannabe music artists from filming their music video in a local Target."

"They were on private property without paying because they couldn't afford a location," he added in the caption.

He criticized the singer, saying, "One tweet and these men will be getting harassed and pestered forever. People will assume they are "racist" just because the wannabe singer said so."

He added, "The "BLM" crowd will target and slander these men. The wannabe singer happens to be black. These men deserve justice and If they reach out to me I will be happy to assist with legal fees, they should sue because they will win."

"Two good blue collar dudes doing their jobs. Here if you need me guys," he concluded.

A Target employee told Baby Storme not to dance at the store and said he would have to phone the authorities. He also blocked the group's attempt to record the music video.

Storme, who is African-American, called the incident racist, prompting a mixed reaction online.

Tristan Tate was among those who reacted to the incident. The younger Tate brother moved to Twitter to chastise Baby Storme while applauding the nameless Target staff.

The former kickboxer concluded his view on the incident by promising to assist the men with their legal fees should they choose to sue the singer, which he advised them to do, expressing confidence in their chances of winning. 

At the time of writing, Tweet had over 2 million views and several comments. A user wrote, "BLM is a plague to society." A second user wrote, "Racist is everything, and everyone. It's literally means nothing."

Another user wrote, "I'm sure they would gladly leave their position if you offered them a job with you!" One person also wrote, "You are a class act Tristan." One of his fans also wrote, "But if they was white there would not be no problem right, don't act like you know it all, just stick to what you know."
