Conor McGregor is once again in the eye of a media firestorm. The UFC superstar, who has amassed fame, fortune, and more than his fair share of controversy since entering the Octagon in 2013, is now facing a new and intensely graphic scandal that may outdo them all.

On the morning of July 14, 2025, rapper and provocateur Azealia Banks took to social media to air explosive allegations against McGregor, accusing the Irish fighter of sending her unsolicited nude images and threatening her not to go public. The posts, published on her X (formerly Twitter) account, included screenshots of uncensored photos allegedly sent by McGregor in a disturbing late-night interaction.

The Shocking Accusation

Banks didn’t mince words in her early-morning revelations. In a now-viral thread, the “212” artist accused McGregor of sending her multiple completely naked selfies, including one image where he appeared to be lifting weights using his genitals.

The posts included a chilling text that allegedly followed the explicit images:

“Don’t be a rat cos all rats get caught.“

According to Banks, the messages were not only unwanted but also an attempt to intimidate her into silence.

“Like how are you really going to sexually harass me with the potato farmer d* 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****** sunscreen d***,**” Banks posted in one of the most blistering takedowns yet seen on social media in 2025.

Though the explicit photos remain live on Banks’ X feed, they are not being shared here due to their graphic nature.

Pattern of Scandal

If these allegations are true, they represent the latest in a long line of disturbing incidents for the former UFC champion.

McGregor, once the shining face of Irish athleticism, has accumulated an eyebrow-raising dossier of public scandals. According to a timeline compiled by Rolling Stone, the fighter’s controversies stretch back to at least 2017, when his erratic behavior outside the cage began making more headlines than his wins inside of it.

Among the most serious accusations:

In 2023, a woman accused McGregor of sexually assaulting her during the NBA Finals. While the Florida State Attorney’s Office declined to pursue criminal charges, ESPN reports that the woman has since filed a civil suit, which remains pending.

In 2024, McGregor was allegedly spotted kissing a mystery woman on a beach, a public display that drew attention due to his ongoing engagement.

And now, with these alleged nude photos sent to Banks, critics are once again questioning how long the UFC and McGregor’s sponsors will tolerate the fighter’s increasingly erratic, inappropriate, and potentially criminal behavior.

Azealia Banks Doesn’t Back Down

Banks, who is known for her unfiltered online persona and has previously been involved in high-profile feuds, is not apologizing for calling McGregor out. If anything, she’s doubling down.

Throughout the morning of July 14, Banks posted additional messages mocking McGregor’s anatomy, questioning his presidential ambitions, and calling for accountability.

“You think I’m scared of some cauliflower-eared cokehead in a bathrobe sending limp threats? I’m from HARLEM. Try me.” she wrote in one post.

Public opinion is already beginning to shift, with users across social media siding with Banks and demanding that the UFC and its sponsors respond. “If this were ANYONE else, they’d be dropped in a heartbeat,” one X user wrote. “Why is Conor McGregor still being protected?”

UFC, McGregor Remain Silent for Now

As of publication time, Conor McGregor has not issued a public statement regarding the allegations. The UFC has also remained silent.

But silence may not be an option for long. With graphic evidence now circulating, and Banks continuing to hold court in real time online, McGregor could soon face more than just a bruised reputation. Legal consequences may be on the horizon.

A Presidency in Jeopardy?

McGregor has long hinted at future political ambitions, including a 2024 flirtation with running for president of Ireland, a move many dismissed as a publicity stunt. But Banks wasn’t about to let that slide.

“Trying to run for president but can’t keep your d* out of my DMs? Be serious. Be f****** for real.**” she added in one of her most scathing posts.

Whatever ambitions McGregor had for public office or redemption may now be dead on arrival.

A Moment of Reckoning

While it remains to be seen whether McGregor will face professional consequences, this latest scandal has reignited conversations about power, celebrity, and male entitlement in sports. Banks’ decision to publicly name and shame the MMA star could mark a watershed moment in how unsolicited sexual harassment by celebrities is treated in the court of public opinion and possibly in actual courtrooms.

The world is watching. And this time, Conor McGregor may have finally stepped too far out of bounds.
