Noni Madueke was given the freedom of Wolverhampton, just hours after insulting the city.
Wolves granted the winger all the space he wanted to score a 15-minute hat-trick as Chelsea thrashed Wolves 6-2 at Molineux on Sunday.
It came after Madueke, who has 991,000 followers, was jeered from the start by the home fans following an Instagram post on Saturday in which he offensively mocked the city.
He then scored three second-half goals to seal Enzo Maresca's first Premier League victory as Chelsea boss.
Madueke, 22, shared his location as Wolverhampton in the post but quickly deleted it and used his post-match interview to apologise.
