Conor McGregor accused of sharing explicit photos by rapper Azealia Banks
American rapper Azealia Banks has sparked controversy by sharing unsolicited images of Conor McGregor, accusing the MMA star of intimidation.
The ex-UFC titleholder reportedly sent her explicit photos, which she then exposed on social media. She accused him of warning her to keep silent about it.
In a bold move, Banks posted on X: "How you gonna send a b**ch a some crooked d**k pics then threaten her not to tell. @TheNotoriousMMA n**ga do you know who the f**k I am?".
Banks claimed that McGregor had hastily removed the images from their conversation but left behind a message cautioning her against speaking out, saying: "Don't be a rat cos all rats get caught."
Banks continued to taunt McGregor with another post, hinting at his supposed presidential ambitions, writing: "Conor McGregor 4 President," reports the Irish Mirror.
McGregor's representatives have been approached for a statement regarding the incident.
The development follows recent snapshots of McGregor getting close to an unidentified woman on a Florida beach, witnessed by onlookers.
The 37-year-old, who shares four kids with long-time partner Dee Devlin, was spotted getting intimate with a woman in a bikini on a Fort Lauderdale beach this past weekend.
Snapped by photographers and covered by the Irish Mirror, McGregor was seen with his hand on her thigh, draping an arm over her shoulder, and seemingly giving her a kiss on the lips.
His partner Devlin didn't address the incident on social media but instead posted a birthday homage to McGregor who turned 37 on Monday.
Devlin shared a fan page's birthday message on her Instagram story which read: "Happy Birthday to the person who always keeps Dee entertained and makes her smile."
Accompanying the greeting was a collage of pictures of the pair. The duo have been together for 16 years, engaged since 2020, and share four children: Conor Jr., eight, Rian, four, Mack, one, and six year old Croía.
Their relationship has navigated numerous controversies, including McGregor's high-profile civil rape case. In November, he was found civilly liable in a High Court for assaulting Nikita Hand.
Ms Hand had accused McGregor of "brutally raping and battering" her at a Dublin hotel in November 2018, while McGregor insisted that what happened at the Beacon Hotel was with consent.
Hand was vindicated by the jury, receiving €248,603.60 in compensation. McGregor, disputing the verdict, initiated an appeal that commenced earlier in April.
Once again showing solidarity with McGregor after departing the High Court last year, Devlin took to social media to declare her steadfast support: "My man and I have created a beautiful life together.
"I love him, I trust him and I BELIEVE HIM! Our four beautiful children whose smiling faces and happy hearts are testimony to the man he is and who we are!
"No one is entitled to comment on our relationship - we trust one another and love one another. Nothing or nobody will change that. Our family stands strong!"
McGregor's absence from the UFC has now stretched beyond four years, with his most recent bout ending in a leg-breaking defeat to Dustin Poirier in July 2021.
Although he's hinted at returning to the octagon numerous times, his much-anticipated matchup against Michael Chandler set for June 2024 fell through without a rescheduled date.

Billie Piper ‘quite overwhelmed' to work with Tim Burton
Piper plays Isadora Capri, the new head of music at Nevermore Academy, in the second series of the hit Netflix show, which is set to air next month. The drama, which centres around Wednesday Addams of The Addams Family, stars American Jenna Ortega in the lead role, and also features a number of British actresses including Catherine Zeta-Jones, Dame Joanna Lumley and Piper.

The actress told the magazine she was 'quite overwhelmed' to be working with Burton after admiring him for so long, and loved watching his films such as The Nightmare Before Christmas and Frankenweenie with her children. She added: 'I watched Beetlejuice so many times as a kid that I actually feel like it inspired the interiors in my house and the clothes I wear. I was fanatical.' Doctor Who star Piper said she was 'grateful' to work with Burton. 'I realised I was dealing with someone who's really childlike energetically – open and engaging and fun,' she added. 'I love his energy. And that's what it feels like: like you're being painted into Tim Burton's piece of art, because it's a very specific composition a lot of the time, and it's striking.'
