Rapper Azealia Banks sparked a social media storm on Monday when she leaked what she claims are nude photos of UFC star Conor McGregor.
Azealia Banks goes on X meltdown about Conor McGregor
Using her X account, she shared two images reportedly sent to her by McGregor via direct message—despite the pair not following each other.
Accompanying the posts, she vented in strong language:
“How you gonna send a b**** a some crooked d*** pics then threaten her not to tell…?”
She also added:
“Like how are you really going to sexually harrass me with the potato farmer d*** then threaten me not to tell??? Honey… ain’t u trying to be the president of Ireland what is it giving fam? Use some f***ing sunscreen damn.”
With screenshots included, she alleged McGregor sent a direct message: “Don’t be a rat cos all rats get caught,” along with an image of what appeared to be McGregor’s penis resting on a dumbbell captioned “Lifting weights.”
Another screenshot showed that Banks suddenly couldn’t view the pictures—possibly because she didn’t follow McGregor—prompting her to remark:
“The motherf***er woke up early LOL.”
This unexpected exposé unfolds just days after McGregor was seen showing affection with a mystery woman on a Florida beach, fuelling rumours that he might have cheated on his fiancée, Dee Devlin.
Did McGregor respond?
Instead of acknowledging either the leaked photos or the beach controversy, McGregor steered clear of comment.
At 37, he chose to celebrate his birthday quietly on X, writing:
“Happy birthday to me!”
This casual post appeared to signal that he was unfazed by the drama. With over 10.6 million followers, McGregor used his birthday message to avoid the scandal altogether, giving no indication he will address Banks’ allegations.
McGregor is a world-famous MMA figure engaged for five years. Claims of him sending intimate photos and kissing someone else on camera could damage both his personal relationships and public image.
Banks, known for stirring social media controversies, has a history of dropping bombshells—so this latest move is in character for her.
There’s no sign McGregor will respond directly. The situation may simmer down, depending on how both parties choose to follow up. For now, all eyes are on whether Banks reveals more and if McGregor eventually speaks out.
