Conor McGregor has responded cryptically after explosive allegations surfaced from rapper Azealia Banks, who claimed the UFC star sent her unsolicited nude images and harassed her via social media.
Banks stunned followers by sharing what appeared to be explicit screenshots and photos allegedly sent by McGregor, including one showing him with a weight on his genitals. She claims the messages began around 2016 and that McGregor also tried to intimidate her into staying silent.
While McGregor has not issued a formal denial, he posted a terse birthday message, “Happy birthday to me!”, on X, where the scandal had erupted just hours earlier.
Later, in a tongue-in-cheek response to a user referencing the leak, he wrote:
“Don’t let them distract you with my G C while they rob our country blind!”
The comment appeared to mock the viral attention around the alleged images.

The fighter, currently under public and legal scrutiny, has been navigating several controversies. In 2024, he was found liable in a civil rape case in Ireland, and a 2023 sexual assault lawsuit stemming from a Miami NBA event remains unresolved.
Just this week, he was also photographed kissing a mystery woman in Florida, adding further strain to his long-standing engagement with Dee Devlin.
McGregor has yet to confirm or deny the authenticity of the leaked photos. As of now, he seems intent on brushing off the controversy publicly, even as media coverage and online speculation mount.
