Conor McGregor has recently been soliciting votes online for his run at the presidency of Ireland, but it was an unsolicited message that could have him in some hot water.
The former UFC champion allegedly sent some very X-rated pictures of himself, unprompted, to rap star Azealia Banks.
The 212 hitmaker shared the content on X this morning, calling out McGregor for the alleged gross behaviour as well as his threats for her to not tell anyone about it.
“How you gonna send a b**** some crooked d*** pics then threaten her not to tell,” the rapper posted on X this morning, tagging McGregor. “N**** do you know who the f*** I am?
“This is HARAM.”
Banks attached two screenshots allegedly sent by the MMA superstar via direct messages on Instagram.
In the X-rated snaps, McGregor is fully naked in what appears to be a closet, taking the pictures in a mirror. In one, he appears to be wearing a weighted band around his penis.
“Don’t be a rat cos (sic) all rats get caught,” a message in the screenshots reads.
“Like how are you really going to sexually harass me with the potato farmer d*** then threaten me not to tell??” she wrote in a follow-up post, also calling out McGregor’s political aspirations in his home country.
“Honey … ain’t u trying to be the president of Ireland what is it giving fam?”
She also joked about the MMA star’s apparent sunburnt appearance, saying that he should “use some f***ing sunscreen.”
WARNING: Inappropriate language
McGregor appears to have felt the heat as Banks’ post began to go viral online.
The rapper posted a screenshot of the messages having been deleted early Monday morning, along with the caption “The motherf***** woke up early LOL.”
This is just the latest incident in a long line of inappropriate behaviour from the controversial fighter.
McGregor hasn’t competed in the UFC since July 2021, when he suffered a broken leg during a match against Dustin Poirier.
The controversial Irish star had been slated to make his long-awaited return last summer, but his bout with Michael Chandler was shelved after McGregor suffered a toe injury during training.
Last month, McGregor appeared to be caught on video brutally flooring a man with two punches during a wild scene at the Pacha nightclub in Ibiza, Spain.
McGregor reportedly had been drinking until 6 a.m. when the alleged altercation occurred.
In video first posted online by the U.K. Sun, the 36-year-old fighter appears to be standing on a raised platform at the club talking with a man while loud music pumps.
After speaking to the man for a few seconds, McGregor – who is holding a drink in his right hand – lands a punch to the head of the partygoer before sending him to the ground with a second. The Irishman’s entourage and security then steps between the two.
According to one person present, McGregor didn’t appear to face any immediate consequences for the altercation.
The former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion also was found liable in a civil case last November after a jury determined he sexually assaulted Nikita Hand in a hotel penthouse following a night of heavy partying nearly six years ago.
Hand claimed McGregor “brutally raped and battered” her while also threatening her life in a chokehold, leaving her badly bruised after the incident.
McGregor claimed in court that the two had consensual sex that was “athletic and vigorous” but not rough, and she “never said ‘no’ or stopped.”
