Golden Tate speaks out on explosive Jalen Ramsey feud over sister that blew up on field

Former Giants receiver Golden Tate is peeling back the curtain on his widely publicized feud with current Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey, which exploded on the field in October 2020.

During a recent appearance on the “Bussin’ with the Boys” podcast, Tate expanded on the beef with Ramsey, who previously dated the wideout’s sister and ended the relationship while she was pregnant with their second child in 2019.

“Him and one of my twin sisters have two children together,” Tate said on the program hosted by Taylor Lewan and Will Compton. “… Now things happened within that relationship where I don’t think my sister was done or treated the way she should have been treated. And when that happens, who you gotta come see? You gotta come see big bro.”

The family feud spilled over to social media in October 2019 when a photo of Ramsey and his new girlfriend surfaced. When a fan tweeted to Tate, “If I was @ShowtimeTate I would have words with this young fella,” the former second-round pick replied, “He know he gonna have to see me.”

Fast-forward 12 months, when Tate’s Giants and Ramsey’s Rams faced off on Oct. 4, 2020, the fireworks shortly ignited.

“We get out there and right away, first one he’s overly jamming me and I’m like, ‘OK, this is how we’re going to do,'” Tate recalled.

“… Whatever I do, I cannot cost my team a penalty or cost myself any money, so that’s in my back pocket. I’m not going to do that cause that’s selfish, but I’m in his face, I’m talking my mess, he talking his mess.”

Matters came to a head after the game, a 17-9 Rams win, with players and personnel separating Tate and Ramsey, who allegedly swung at his opponent.

“The game ends, I run up there to expect it, what’s going to happen? And he come find me… I’m seeing where he at, I went right up to him with my helmet on and he swings, but I knew he was going to swing, so I duck, and I went to dump him, and the next thing you know, they had everybody on us, so they separated us,” Tate said.

As for where he stands with Ramsey, 30, now, the 36-year-old Tate said the priority is shielding the children from the drama.

“We haven’t talked, but I think we both kind of have agreed to not be knuckleheads for the betterment of his daughters and my nieces, and that’s kind of where we stand,” Tate said.

Ramsey, who was traded to the Dolphins in March 2023 after three seasons and a Super Bowl LVI win with the Rams, shared his take on the Tate scuffle during a 2022 appearance on “The Pivot” podcast.

“On sight, we knew what we was gonna do,” Ramsey said at the time. “I mean that’s his sister, that’s what he supposed to do, too. But you mind your business, too. This is me too now.”

Ramsey, a 2016 first-round pick with the Jaguars, has been at the center of trade talks his offseason.

Tate last played for the Titans after signing with their practice squad in November 2021. He was released months later in January.
