Novak Djokovic has drawn significant backlash after it was revealed he followed controversial influencer Andrew Tate on X (formerly Twitter). Tate, currently under house arrest in Romania facing serious charges including human trafficking and rape, has a notorious reputation that sparked outrage among fans upon discovering Djokovic's follow. In response to the uproar, Djokovic quickly unfollowed Tate, attempting to distance himself from the controversy while competing for his first gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The incident has reignited discussions about the impact of social media actions on public perception, with many fans expressing disappointment and anger. Despite the criticism, Djokovic has continued to perform well in the Olympics, advancing to the next round after defeating Rafael Nadal. The incident highlights the intersection of celebrity, social media, and public opinion in today's digital landscape.
