Controversial New York rapper Azealia Banks has publicly accused former UFC champion Conor McGregor of sending her unsolicited explicit images and allegedly threatening her to stay silent about the incident.
Sharing screenshots of what she claims are messages from McGregor, the 34-year-old artist, who is well-known for her outspoken persona, made the accusations on Monday, July 14, 2025, through her X account.
In a series of posts, Banks expressed outrage and disbelief. “How you gonna send a bh some crooked d**k pics then threaten her not to tell. Ngga do you know who the f**k I am? This is HARAM,” she wrote, igniting a wave of responses across social media platforms.
She continued after that. Banks attacked McGregor's looks, his alleged political aspirations, and even his skincare routine in follow-up posts. “Like how are you really going to sexually harass me with the potato farmer dk then threaten me not to tell???? Honey…… ain’t u trying to be the president of Ireland?” she added. Another post read, “Use some f*g sunscreen damn,” a jab that quickly went viral alongside the original accusations.
Among the alleged messages Banks shared was one chilling line, “Don’t be a rat, because all rats end up caught.” According to Banks, McGregor eventually deleted the explicit images and unfollowed her after her posts gained traction online.
While McGregor has not issued a formal response to the allegations, he did post a cryptic message on Monday—his 37th birthday—writing simply, “Happy birthday to me!” The post left fans divided, with some interpreting it as sarcasm and others seeing it as a deflection from the controversy.
This recent incident is the latest in McGregor's legal troubles. He was ordered to reimburse an Irish woman who accused him of rape for damages totalling almost €200,000 earlier in 2025. In addition, he continues to face a sexual assault charge related to an alleged incident at the U.S. Kaseya Centre in Miami.
Azealia Banks has not yet stated if she plans to sue McGregor.
The UFC star is still being watched for his alleged actions as well as the lingering effects of his previous legal troubles. Conor Jack Jr., Croía, Rían, and Mack are the four children McGregor and his long-time partner Dee Devlin have together.
