ANDREW Tate shared a cryptic tweet today claiming “the Matrix has attacked me” amid fears he was rushed to hospital while in jail.
The disgraced influencer, 36, and his brother Tristan, 34, continue to be held behind bars after they were detained at their Romanian lair last month.

The brothers were arrested as part of a probe into human trafficking, rape, and organised crime.
According to Romanian news channel Antena 3 CNN, one of the brothers was rushed to hospital on Friday after a “routine medical check”.
They reportedly told a medic about a pre-existing health issue before they were taken to a hospital in the Romanian capital of Bucharest.
They are now said to be back in custody.
But Andrew later shared a link to the article on Twitter with a cryptic message.
He wrote: “The Matrix has attacked me.
“But they misunderstand, you cannot kill an idea. Hard to Kill.”
Andrew and Tristan are accused of recruiting women on social media platforms and persuading them to travel to their £600k villa on the outskirts of the country’s capital Bucharest.
The brothers would allegedly falsely claim to be in love with the young women, before making them perform sexual acts on webcams.
Women were forced to film porn videos in the compound and were kept under 24/7 house arrest, according to Romanian investigators.
Neighbours of the Luton-raised brothers claim dozens of young men from Britain and the US travelled to the secretive site where at any one time at least eight women were performing on webcam sites.
Andrew and his brother are being held in a “hellhole” Romanian jail cell until the end of January as prosecutors announced they were being remanded in custody for 30 days.
The Tate brothers will also appeal against the seizure of some of their belongings – including 11 flash cars – in a court appearance next week.
They are also expected to appear in a Bucharest next week to have their appeals heard contesting a judge’s decision to extend their arrest warrants to 30 days.
Tate appeared to deny the accusations, suggesting after his arrest he had been captured by Matrix agents.
It comes after chilling footage emerged of Andrew claiming that women who stay in his house are not allowed to leave.
And a new witness told The Sun he allegedly bragged about stealing the passports of women he recruited for his camgirl business so they couldn’t escape.
Controversial Tate initially gained fame after a short-lived appearance on Big Brother.
He was dumped from the reality show after alleged footage of him beating a woman emerged online.
Since then he has sparked revulsion and outrage with a wave of content online.
Washington DC-born Tate was accused of spreading hate towards women as he built his profile.
The influencer was banned from Twitter in 2017 for violating its terms of service with his controversial comments.
He has previously referred to women as “property” and said they should bear “some responsibility” if they are sexually assaulted.
In August, Tate was banned from a range of other social media sites.
