American rapper Azealia Banks has stirred up controversy by leaking explicit images on X, levelling serious accusations at Conor McGregor.
The '212' artist claims the ex-UFC champ sent her unsolicited intimate photos, which she didn't hesitate to share with the public via the platform. She accused him of issuing threats to keep her silent.
Exposing McGregor's snaps online, she lashed out 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?" Meanwhile the UFC icon, who is engaged to the mum of his four kids, Dee Devlin, was recently spotted kissing a mystery woman on a beach in America.

Banks didn't stop a the initial X post, taking additional swipes at the MMA star: "Honey...... ain't u trying to be the president of Ireland what is it giving fam?" and even shared another capture purporting that McGregor swiftly removed his images from their chat after waking early.
What did McGregor say in response?However, she highlighted the so-called threat in their exchange, where McGregor purportedly wrote: "Don't be a rat cos all rats get caught.", reports Belfast Live.
In further tweets, Banks took another jab at McGregor's aspirations for the Irish presidency, cheekily posting, "Conor McGregor 4 President".
McGregor's spokesperson has been approached for a response.
This clash with Banks coincidentally falls on the UFC lightweight champion's 37th birthday, overshadowing tributes from his long-term partner and mother to his children, Dee Devlin. The uproar emerges amid snaps surfacing of the polarising figure getting close to an unidentified woman on a beach in Florida, drawing the gaze of onlookers.
The former UFC champion, Conor McGregor, was spotted in a compromising position with a lady in a bikini on a beach in Fort Lauderdale over the weekend. In photos obtained by the Irish Mirror, McGregor can be seen with his hand on the woman's thigh, his arm wrapped around her shoulder, and appearing to kiss her.
What did McGregor's fiancée say?However, his fiancée, Dee Devlin, has seemingly chosen to brush off the incident. Taking to social media for the first time since the photographs emerged, she neglected to address the controversy, opting instead to celebrate McGregor's 37th birthday on Monday.
She shared a fan page's tribute on her Instagram story, featuring a collage of happy moments between the couple. The post read: "Happy Birthday to the person who always keeps Dee entertained and makes her smile."
The pair has been together for 16 years, became engaged in 2020, and share four children - Conor Jr (8), Rian (4), Mack (1), and Croia (6).
Their partnership has weathered numerous storms, including McGregor's highly publicised civil rape case. A High Court civil jury found him liable for assaulting Nikita Hand, who accused him of "brutally raping and battering" her at a Dublin hotel in November 2018.
McGregor insisted their encounter was consensual.
What was the result of the lawsuit against McGregor?Ms Hand was awarded €248,603.60 in damages, but McGregor has begun appealing the verdict this month. Standing firmly by McGregor's side as they left the High Court, Devlin subsequently took to social media to reaffirm her unwavering support: "My man and I have created a beautiful life together. I love him, I trust him and I BELIEVE HIM!" Our four gorgeous kids, whose joyful faces and contented hearts are a living testament to who he is and who we are as a family!
No one has the right to comment on our relationship - we trust and love each other wholeheartedly.
Nothing or nobody will change that. Our family remains unshakeable!
It has been over four years since McGregor last competed in the UFC. In his last fight in July 2021, he suffered a broken leg during a second consecutive loss to Dustin Poirier.
McGregor has repeatedly hinted at a potential comeback, but after his eagerly anticipated fight against Michael Chandler in June 2024 was cancelled, it was never rescheduled.
