Andrew Tate's controversial views have understandably rubbed people up the wrong way – and now, he can add Chicago residents to that list.

The 'internet personality', known as Top G by his diehard fans, recently lashed out at the US city, calling it a "s***hole".

On Twitter, he furiously wrote: "Imagine living in Chicago on purpose. BY CHOICE."

"Seriously, imagine being a full grown adult / And waking up in f***ing CHICAGO / Looking at the entire globe, then looking around you at the sh**hole you reside in / And saying 'Yes. I want to live here :)'".

Tate concluded his random outburst with a string of clown emojis.

Naturally, his tweet was met with backlash, with one candidly hitting back: "As long as I don't wake up next to you, I'm good with it."

Another wrote, "Must be exhausting trying to keep up with your ego 24/7," while a third reiterated: "The level of jerk mixed with privilege is outstanding."

\u201cImagine living in Chicago on purpose. BY CHOICE.\n\nSeriously, imagine being a full grown adult.\n\nAnd waking up in fucking CHICAGO.\n\nLooking at the entire globe, then looking around you at the shithole you reside in.\n\nAnd saying "Yes. I want to live here :)"\n\n\ud83e\udd21\ud83e\udd21\ud83e\udd21\ud83e\udd21\ud83e\udd21\ud83e\udd21\ud83e\udd21\ud83e\udd21\u201d

Many more commented on the bizarre outburst, wondering what Chicago had ever done to him.

"Tate woke up closed his eyes and pointed to a place on map to roast lol," one joked. "Tomorrow 'Imagine waking up in PERU'".

Another humoured: "Imagine living in Romania thinking you were safe from getting arrested."

The tweet comes after the 36-year-old and his brother Tristan were released from custody to house arrest earlier this month.

Following his release, Tate shared a clip of himself pacing in a room while smoking a cigar. Many conspiracy theorists believe he had been "cloned".

Tate wrote: "Since last year I've been in 24-hour lockdown. No yard time.

"Pacing a 3-metre cell with zero electronics or outside contact. Absolute clarity of mind. Real thoughts. Real plans. Vivid pain. One hour home and I can't stand my phone.

"Some habits die hard. We must defeat Shaytan."
