Andrew Tate and his brother have been held in custody in Romania since December last year

Kickboxer and influencer Andrew Tate claims he has updated his will and said “I would never kill myself” in a series of disturbing tweets from a Romanian prison.

Tate and his brother Tristan are being held in custody as part of an investigation into rape, human trafficking and organised crime.

The self-described misogynist took to Twitter to inform his followers that he will be donating £100 million to start up a charity which “protect[s] men from false accusations”.

He said: “I updated my will from prison. I will be donating 100 million to start a charity to protect men from false accusations.”

Several hours later he posted again saying: “I would never kill myself”.

The sinister update comes after the brothers were arrested in December following accusations that the pair had lured women back to their villa, with at least six allegedly forced to perform in adult videos which were then sold online.

Romanian authorities have seized £3.5million worth of assets from the pair, who have created a warped empire promoting toxic masculinity, which could be used as compensation to their alleged victims.

Tate gained mainstream notoriety for misogynistic remarks that got him banned from all major social media platforms.

His Twitter account was reinstated in November last year after Elon Musk acquired the social media giant.

Last month, a Romanian court extended their detention until February 27.

On Wednesday a Bucharest court upheld the decision and rejected Tate’s appeal against his detention.

Prosecutors can ask Romanian courts to extend the suspects' detention for up to 180 days.

Tate’s defence lawyers have said prosecutors had no real evidence and have asked the judge to consider placing the suspects under house arrest rather than police detention.
