Controversial influencer Sneako has fired back at self-described “misogynist influencer” Andrew Tate’s allegations that he is a gay man with a “homosexual rage that is suppressed.”
Resurfaced clips have led to questions surrounding the sexuality of Sneako, one of the men featured in Louis Theroux’s Inside the Manosphere, is gay.
Sneako, a 27-year-old devout Trump follower, appears in Theroux’s documentary mainly ranting about Sam Smith being a ‘trans satanist’. Sneako was once friends with Tate before the pair had a falling out.
Tate claims their fallout is because Sneako, whose real name is Nicolas Kenn De Balinthazy, is secretly gay.
In a clip circulating online, Tate, seemingly referring to Sneako, states that he believes the influencer – whose real name is Nicolas Kenn De Balinthazy – is a gay man.
“He started saying, ‘Isn’t it normal just to try new things? Don’t you think it is normal to be curious? How do you know if you are really gay or not unless you’ve tried being gay?’” Tate claims.
“Then I realised he was coming onto me, I thought the best thing I can do is just not talk to him anymore.”
Tate goes on to note that he cut Sneako off. However, he claims Sneako is still talking about him because of a “homosexual rage that is suppressed.”
Tate also adds: “He’s constantly larping about Islam while being gay in private.”
‘I know that I am not gay’
Responding to the rumours, Sneako claimed that Tate is holding a grudge against him.
Following this rise in questions about Sneako’s sexuality, other clips have resurfaced. In one, while streaming with a friend, Sneako shares that he did watch gay adult films as a young teenager when he “thought [he] was gay.” He goes on to clarify it wasn’t for him.
In the clip, he continues: “I went to a gay nightclub with my gay friends… It was a gay club, I’m not complaining. I saw a muscular dude twerking glitter off of his back, and I know that I am not gay.”
After these old clips resurfaced, Tate claimed that he will “expose” Sneako.
Sneako shot back, claiming the clips were taken out of context and were a joke.
“I already know what the tactic is going to be; these people are easy to read,” Sneako said.
“What he’s going to do: He’s going to bring up clips from a podcast from like five or six years ago, where I was a standup comedian at the time,” he argued.
“We were joking about whether or not you’ve ever thought of being gay. Yeah, it’s a joke.”
During the stream, Sneako openly addressed Tate, asking him to provide proof for his statements. “What evidence do you have? What proof do you have? We have text messages, leak it all, show it all. I don’t have anything to hide.”
