Azealia Banks, the American rapper and singer, shocked the internet after she posted what she claimed were private photos and messages from UFC star Conor McGregor. The posts were made on X and quickly went viral.

On July 13, Banks posted screenshots of messages she says were sent by McGregor. Along with those screenshots, she also shared two full-frontal mirror selfies that she claimed were of the MMA fighter. One of the pictures was labeled “Lifting weights,” while the second came with a message that read, “Don’t be a rat cos all rats get caught.”

Azealia Banks did not hold back in her comments. In one of her posts, she wrote,

"How you gonna send a bitch some crooked d*ck pics then threaten her not to tell. @TheNotoriousMMA nig** do you know who the f**k I am? This is HARAM.”

She tagged McGregor’s official handle in the post and attached the photos. She later posted more. In another message, she wrote,

"Like how are you really going to sexually harass me with the potato farmer dick 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."

Azealia Banks also shared a screenshot that appeared to show a direct message warning her not to speak out. The message read, “Don’t be a rat cos all rats get caught.” She wrote, “The motherf***** woke up early LOL,” and showed the hidden media notification in the screenshot, implying the photos came from someone she doesn’t follow.

As of now, Conor McGregor has not responded to the posts. No statement has been made from his side. The photos and messages are still being widely shared online. Banks' account has also been flagged for posting those screenshots with explicit comments.

The situation quickly caught the attention of social media users, who had strong and mixed reactions.

McGregor’s recent controversies and Azealia Banks’ past

This fresh drama followed closely after McGregor was spotted at a beach in Florida, also with a woman who is not his fiancée, Dee Devlin. Images showed shots of the UFC fighter being cozy with the woman. Her identity was not confirmed, but it was clear that they were very comfortable with each other.

Conor McGregor, who is 36, has been engaged to Dee Devlin since 2020. McGregor and Devlin have four children together. They do not shy away from posting their family pictures on social media, but McGregor has been in and out of controversy over the years. In 2023, McGregor was found liable in a civil trial for assaulting a woman, resulting in a damages award of more than £200,000.
