Be careful what you say about Jonathan Cheban.

On Thursday evening, one Twitter user earned themselves a stinging DM from the hanger-on-turned-media personality after comparing the 43-year-old to a rat.

“its nice that kanye gave jonathan cheban a job,” @trevormcmullan wrote alongside a screengrab of an article titled “Meet The Rat Who’s Paid Minimum Wage To Chew Holes in Kanye’s $3000 T-Shirts.”

The self-proclaimed “Food God” was not tagged in the tweet, but responded anyway.

“Little bitch. I got more money than u can dream of and more companies I own than I can have you clean toilets. So keep your trailer park trash mouth shut peasant. Lol u think I need a job. You dumb lowlife. I’ll f–king buy you c–t,” Cheban allegedly wrote in a direct message to the Twitter user.

If Cheban hoped to pressure him to delete the post or at least feel bad about comparing him to a rat, it doesn’t appear to have worked.

Instead, @trevormcmullan screengrabbed the retort and posted it for their 1,233 followers to see.

“I……am……..screaming,” he wrote.

But before @trevormcmullan could reply to Cheban’s alleged message, Cheban swiftly blocked him.

“I never message people on private. I’m public when I say s–t,” he told Page Six.

Later, Cheban claimed to have been hacked while on a flight to London. “I can’t believe I was hacked while flying to london..LOL. Sorry to all the random messages people got. I guess I should turn my wifi on!” he wrote, despite having posted an update from the plane earlier that day.
