In a jaw-dropping turn of events, UFC superstar Conor McGregor is under fire after American rapper Azealia Banks accused him of sending her explicit images and then threatening her to keep quiet. The 34-year-old musician took to X (formerly Twitter) on July 14, unleashing a series of accusations that have sent shockwaves across the internet.
Azealia claims the Irish fighter sent her unsolicited nude mirror selfies, calling out the action as harassment. She didn’t hold back, statin“How you gonna send a b***h some crooked d**k pics then threaten her not to tell. @TheNotoriousMMA n***a do you know who the f**k I am?” The rapper went on to mockingly question, “Like how are you really going to sexually harass me with the potato farmer d**k then threaten me not to tell????”
AsumeTech reached out to both Conor McGregor and Azealia Banks for their comments, but the situation remains heated on social media.
Azealia Banks, known for her infamous online feuds as much as her music, continued to poke fun at Conor, aged 37, suggesting he’s not the president of Ireland and even advising him to start using sunscreen.
The drama escalated when she claimed that Conor had deleted the images soon after sending them but not before she managed to take screenshots. In a now-deleted post, she reminisced about their alleged exchanges, saying, “No me and Conor McGregor have been sending each other unsolicited nudes since 2016. LOL.” Among the messages, Azealia shared one where McGregor reportedly warned her, “Don’t be a rat ‘cos all rats get caught.”
While her tweet went viral, garnering over a million views and thousands of retweets and likes, the authenticity of the images has come under scrutiny. Social media skeptics have wondered whether they were legitimate or edited, prompting others to tag Grok, Elon Musk’s AI assistant, inquiring about the truth behind the pictures.
Vocal observers voiced concern for Conor’s family, questioning how his wife and children might react if the allegations are substantiated. Yet amid the uproar, the mixed martial arts icon remains tight-lipped, with no public statement or clarification on the matter. The alleged messages reportedly came from McGregor’s verified handle, @TheNotoriousMMA.
This latest scandal adds to a growing list of legal troubles for the former UFC champion, who recently faced a civil judgment in Ireland, compelling him to payout £173,734 linked to sexual assault claims—an incident that complicates his ambitions to return to the Octagon. UFC President Dana White remarked, “He’s not fighting any time soon. I haven’t talked to him in a minute. I don’t know.”
