American rapper Azealia Banks accuses UFC star Conor McGregor of sending unsolicited nude photos in Instagram DMs. Banks posts explicit screenshots and claims McGregor threatened her to stay silent, saying “This is haram.”
Controversial American rapper Azealia Banks is once again at the center of headlines, but this time, it’s not about music. The outspoken rapper has stirred a storm on social media by accusing Irish MMA superstar Conor McGregor of sending her unsolicited explicit photos through direct messages. The shocking revelations come at a time when McGregor is already facing public scrutiny for his behavior at a beach in Florida. Banks has publicly issued a warning to the UFC fighter, escalating the online feud into a full-blown controversy.
Azealia Banks Drops Bombshell Allegations on Social Media
On July 14, 2025, Azealia Banks took to X (formerly Twitter) to share screenshots of what she claims are direct messages sent by Conor McGregor. According to Banks, McGregor sent her nude photographs without her consent. The rapper didn’t hold back and referred to the alleged pictures in a scathing post, writing, “How you gonna send a b**** some crooked d*** pics then threaten her not to tell? N**** do you know who the f*** I am? This is HARAM.”
The screenshots reportedly depict McGregor posing fully nude in what appears to be a closet, taking mirror selfies. In one of the images, he allegedly wears a weighted band around his penis. Banks claimed she never accepted his Instagram message request but received the photos regardless. She also accused him of attempting to threaten her into silence.
“This Is Haram”: Banks Issues Stern Warning
The phrase “This is Haram,” an Islamic term used to describe something forbidden or sinful, added a deeper layer to the rapper’s condemnation of McGregor’s alleged actions. Her statement was not only about the unsolicited nature of the photos but also framed the behavior in a moral and cultural context, intensifying the backlash.
In a follow-up post, Banks further mocked McGregor, referencing his Irish heritage and aspirations: “Like, how are you really going to sexually harass me with the potato farmer dk then threaten me not to tell???? Honey… Aren’t you trying to be the president of Ireland? What is it giving, fam? Use some fking sunscreen, damn.”
Conor McGregor’s Recent Controversies
This accusation is only the latest in a long string of troubling headlines surrounding the Irish fighter. McGregor, who has not appeared in a UFC fight since July 2021 after sustaining a severe leg injury, has made headlines for various off-ring incidents.
Just days before Banks’ revelations, McGregor was photographed on a Florida beach, kissing a mysterious woman who was not his fiancée Dee Devlin. The photos, widely circulated on social media, show McGregor lounging, drinking, and embracing the woman, adding more fuel to the public’s growing curiosity about his private life.
Legal and Personal Troubles Continue
Conor McGregor has had more than his fair share of run-ins with the law and disturbing accusations. In November of last year, he was found liable in a civil trial involving allegations made by Nikita Hand. Hand accused McGregor of sexually assaulting her in a hotel penthouse after a night of partying. According to her testimony, McGregor put her in a chokehold, raped, and battered her, leaving her with serious injuries. The jury concluded that McGregor was liable, although he insisted that the encounter was consensual and described it as “athletic and vigorous.”
Additionally, McGregor was reportedly involved in a chaotic scene at the Pacha nightclub in Ibiza, Spain, where he allegedly knocked a man to the ground with two punches. Witnesses claim the fighter had been drinking until early morning hours before the incident unfolded.
Public Reaction and Media Coverage
The media, as expected, has jumped on this latest controversy. Outlets such as the Toronto Sun have reported on Banks’ claims in detail, echoing her words and scrutinizing the screenshots she provided. While no official statement has come from McGregor’s camp yet, the silence has only amplified the online chatter.
Fans of both celebrities have been divided. Some have called for McGregor to be held accountable, while others have questioned Banks’ timing and motivations. Nevertheless, the explicit nature of the alleged messages and the screenshots she provided make it hard to dismiss her claims outright.
Who Is Azealia Banks?
Known for her hit “212,” Azealia Banks is as famous for her online rants as she is for her musical talent. Over the years, she has clashed publicly with celebrities such as Elon Musk, Grimes, Lana Del Rey, and Iggy Azalea. Despite facing backlash for her often unfiltered statements, Banks has also been praised for her honesty and willingness to speak out against those she feels have wronged her.
Her accusations against Conor McGregor are part of a broader pattern in which she calls out alleged mistreatment or misconduct by powerful men. Whether one loves or loathes her, it’s undeniable that Banks’ voice commands attention—and often stirs social media firestorms.
Dee Devlin Stands by McGregor
Amid the swirling controversy, McGregor’s fiancée Dee Devlin has not commented directly on the allegations. However, she did post a touching tribute to McGregor on his birthday (July 14), sharing family photos that featured the couple’s four children: Conor Jr., Croía, Rián, and Mack. The post has been interpreted by many as a public show of support.
Devlin’s silence on the matter, combined with her affectionate post, has sparked speculation that she may be choosing to stand by her longtime partner despite the ongoing allegations.
What Could Happen Next?
The consequences for McGregor could be severe if Banks pursues legal action or if the UFC or other governing bodies take note of the controversy. While McGregor has weathered many scandals in the past, the combination of sexual misconduct allegations and now alleged unsolicited explicit messages could impact both his professional opportunities and public image.
For Azealia Banks, this latest controversy might bring additional scrutiny but also reinforces her persona as someone unafraid to call out inappropriate behavior—especially by powerful men.
A Pattern of Allegations
This is not the first time McGregor has faced accusations of inappropriate conduct. What differentiates this incident is the presence of alleged photo evidence. If verified, the screenshots could serve as damning proof of McGregor’s behavior.
The cumulative weight of past legal troubles, the Ibiza altercation, the Florida beach incident, and now Banks’ claims may paint a pattern that could no longer be ignored by fans, sponsors, or professional organizations.
As of now, Conor McGregor has not responded to the allegations made by Azealia Banks. The situation remains fluid, but it has already caused significant ripples in both the entertainment and sports worlds. Whether these allegations lead to legal consequences, public apologies, or further damage to McGregor’s career remains to be seen.
For Azealia Banks, her latest callout reinforces her image as a fearless, albeit controversial, figure who refuses to be silenced. One thing is clear: this explosive feud is far from over, and the world is watching closely.
