Azealia Banks lit a match under Conor McGregor’s already scorched public image this week—alleging that the UFC star sent her years’ worth of unsolicited nude photos, complete with screenshots and the kind of venom that only Banks knows how to weaponize.
On July 14, the rapper took to X (formerly Twitter) with a thread accusing McGregor of sexual harassment, claiming he had been sliding into her DMs with explicit images since 2016. Two nude photos, supposedly of McGregor, were posted publicly—one captioned “lifting weights,” the other paired with the line: “Don’t be a rat cos all rats get caught.”
Banks didn’t hold back. “How you gonna send a bitch crooked dick pics then threaten her not to tell,” she wrote in a now-deleted tweet. She tagged McGregor directly, adding: “Do you know who the fuck I am?”
The fallout was swift: social media blowback, a flurry of headlines, and renewed scrutiny of McGregor’s legal rap sheet—already cluttered with a 2024 sexual assault conviction currently under appeal.
McGregor, 37, has four children with longtime fiancée Dee Devlin. Just days before the Banks posts, paparazzi caught him kissing a woman in Florida who was not her. No stranger to headlines, McGregor has remained silent on this latest round. His team hasn’t issued a statement. He still follows Banks on X.
Banks continued twisting the knife with commentary on McGregor’s political ambitions—he’s teased interest in Irish public office—and his birthday, calling him “the leprechaun” and mocking his appearance: “Use some fucking sunscreen, damn.”
The screenshots she shared appear to show no prior messages, implying the images were sent without provocation. Banks has framed the incident as sexual harassment. Whether anything comes of it legally is unclear—but one thing is certain: McGregor’s halo is slipping fast, if it was ever there at all.
No response. No denial. Just the ugly quiet that follows a car crash.
