The entertainment world, and the UFC, for that matter, has been shaken to its core after Azealia Banks accused Conor McGregor of sending unsolicited nude photos and lewd messages on social media.
Both Banks and McGregor have been embroiled in various controversies and scandals, ranging from public feuds to legal troubles. This also isn’t the first time the Irish MMA superstar has faced accusations of sexual harassment.
As the American rapper continues to call out tweets related to the issue, while the former UFC champion remains silent, let’s unpack the allegations Banks has made against McGregor.
What Did Conor McGregor Do to Azealia Banks?
On Monday, July 14, Banks shocked the internet when she shared screenshots of alleged nude photos sent by McGregor on X, which were later removed by the platform for violating its rules.
In one explicit image, the 37-year-old athlete appeared fully naked, posing in front of a mirror. Banks claimed he sent it to her via direct message on X, despite her not following him.
“How you gonna send a b**** a some crooked d*** pics then threaten her not to tell,” she wrote. “@TheNotoriousMMA n**** do you know who the f*** I am? This is HARAM.”
Another photo allegedly showed McGregor’s private parts strapped to a dumbbell, captioned, “Lifting weights.”
Banks appeared unimpressed by the fighter’s behavior and continued her rant on X.
“Like how are you really going to sexually harrass me with the potato farmer d*** then threaten me not to tell????” she continued. “Honey…… ain’t u trying to be the president of Ireland what is it giving fam? Use some f***ing sunscreen damn.”
One screenshot also displayed a pair of hidden media files, as they were from someone Banks didn’t follow.
It was accompanied by what appeared to be a threatening message: “Don’t be a rat cos all rats get caught.” Banks interpreted the note as an attempt to silence her.
“The motherf***er woke up early LOL,” she wrote in her post.
What Did Conor McGregor Say About Azealia Banks’ Accusations?
So far, McGregor has remained mum about Banks’ accusations. Instead, he posted a bizarre message about himself that had nothing to do with the controversy.
“Happy birthday to me!” he greeted himself in a post on X after celebrating his 37th birthday on July 14.
By the looks of it, McGregor appears unbothered by the allegations, choosing not to address them despite the firestorm they’ve caused.
But as Banks continues to speak out, calling attention to tweets aimed at her and her revelations, this likely won’t be the last time she brings the matter up.
Banks’ accusations came after McGregor was spotted over the weekend with a brunette woman, despite being engaged to his longtime partner, Dee Devlin, since 2020. McGregor also announced in March that he would run for Irish presidency later this year.
