Rapper Azealia Banks Alleges Unsolicited Explicit Images and Threats from Conor McGregor

American rapper Azealia Banks has publicly accused mixed martial arts star Conor McGregor of sending her unsolicited explicit images and subsequently threatening her to maintain silence. The allegations, made on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) on July 14, 2025, have quickly garnered widespread attention. Banks posted screenshots of alleged direct messages, including two explicit photos and a message purportedly from McGregor stating, "Don't be a rat cos all rats get caught."

Banks, known for her outspoken online presence, directly addressed McGregor in her posts. > "How you gonna send a bch a some crooked dk pics then threaten her not to tell. @TheNotoriousMMA nga do you know who the fk I am? This is HARAM," she wrote. In a follow-up tweet, she further mocked McGregor's alleged political aspirations: > "Like how are you really going to sexually harrass me with the potato farmer dk 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."

Conor McGregor, who celebrated his 37th birthday on the same day, has not publicly responded to Banks' accusations. His only social media activity following the incident was an Instagram post simply stating, "Happy birthday to me!" The incident adds to a series of controversies surrounding the former two-division UFC champion, including recent sightings with a woman who was not his fiancée, Dee Devlin, on a Florida beach.

Dee Devlin, McGregor's long-term fiancée and mother of their four children, appeared unfazed by the allegations and the beach photos. She posted a birthday tribute to McGregor on Instagram, sharing a fan account's message that read, "Happy Birthday to the person who always keeps Dee entertained and makes her smile," alongside several photos of the couple. Devlin has historically stood by McGregor through various legal and personal challenges, including a civil case in 2024 where McGregor was found liable for sexual assault.

The rapper's claims have sparked significant discussion across social media, with many users reacting to the explicit nature of the allegations and McGregor's ongoing history of public incidents. While the validity of the alleged images and messages remains unconfirmed by McGregor's representatives, the public nature of Banks' accusations ensures continued scrutiny. The situation further complicates McGregor's public image amidst his teased return to the UFC and recent announcements regarding a potential run for the Irish presidency.
