BUCHAREST, ROMANIA: Internet's controversy king Andrew Tate recently streamed with Adin Ross and spoke about taking on the "responsibility to bring out best" in the Twitch streamer. During the stream, he criticized Ross for recent actions such as using drugs such as lean, a cough syrup-based substance.

In a recent 'Emergency Meeting' episode, Tate expanded on his critique of Ross by claiming that acquiring a large sum of money at a young age acts as a deterrent. Continuing on the same subject matter, he added that adding money simply enhances who you are rather than changing who you are.

'He's made a lot of money early'

Tate has been a mentor of Ross for quite some time. He slammed Ross further in a recent podcast with his brother Tristan Tate and friends. Tate said, "I feel like, I have a responsibility to try my best to bring out the best in Adin."He's a very fortunate young man. He's made a lot of money early which is great but that can also destroy you. Money's an amplifier," he added.

Tate went on to say, "Money won't change who you are. Only amplify who you are. I'm not Top G or whatever, I'm not the man because I'm rich. I'm the man because I was the man when I was poor and then I became rich. If you're a dork and you get rich, you're just a very rich dork."

He noted that money can easily turn someone into a target for a variety of things. He added to his criticism of Ross by saying, "You need to become strong fast. You need to go through some hardship quickly. You need to go through some stuff."

'Genuine bond of friendship'

Tate is facing human trafficking and rape in Romania. His relationship with Ross has been questioned since Tate's arrest, and Ross admitted that the proceedings are affecting him.

Ross said in one of the videos, “I talked to him a lot when there were no cameras on. We text and stuff, we’d call. Like I said, I had a genuine bond of friendship with him, and people don’t really understand that this all happening actually affects me, because it’s like, that’s my friend.”

He continued, “We talk on a daily basis. I’m like, ‘Hey bro, I’m in a slump right now. How do I get out of bed today? I don’t feel good mentally.’ He’d give me advice. Like, ‘Yo, you need to get the f**k up outta your bed. You laying there is not going to do anything.’ He’d just text me stuff.”
