Azealia Banks Accuses Conor McGregor of Sending Inappropriate Messages
Azealia Banks, an American rapper known for her outspoken personality, has publicly accused Conor McGregor, Ireland’s most well-known mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter, of sending her unsolicited and inappropriate messages.
Azealia Banks shared alleged screenshots of direct messages she claimed were from McGregor, messages that included inappropriate and unsolicited images. The authenticity of the messages has not been independently confirmed, and McGregor has yet to respond publicly.
Banks Shares Screenshots and Sparks Outrage
On Monday, Banks posted two screenshots on X (formerly Twitter) that appeared to show messages from McGregor. One allegedly featured an image accompanied by the phrase, “Don’t be a rat cos all rats get caught.” Another image, she claimed, showed him lifting a weight in an inappropriate manner.

Banks responded online with a fierce statement:
“How are you going to send someone strange photos and then threaten them not to tell? This is HARAM… Aren’t you trying to be the president of Ireland? What is it giving, fam?”
She continued to post updates throughout the day, mocking the fighter and referencing rumors about his political ambitions. In one tweet, she joked, “Conor McGregor 4 President,” adding the Irish flag emoji. Later, she claimed that the messages had vanished from her inbox, implying McGregor may have deleted them.
In another twist, Banks said this wasn’t the first time such messages had been exchanged. “Me and Conor McGregor have been sending each other unsolicited content since 2016,” she wrote. “I have never met the leprechaun, but today is his birthday and he wants everyone to make a wish.”
Her remarks and screenshots triggered a wave of reactions on social media, quickly turning the topic into a trending headline.
Platform Suspension and Ongoing Silence from McGregor
As the tweets gained traction, X stepped in. The platform removed the posts that contained the alleged images, citing a violation of its content policy. Banks confirmed she had received a 12-hour suspension, sharing a screenshot via Instagram with the caption: “Got me. It’s been fun.”
Conor McGregor, who has been in a long-term relationship with Dee Devlin since 2008 and has four children, has not issued any statements in response to the claims. His silence has only fueled further speculation, with online users wondering whether a legal or PR move is coming next.
Meanwhile, debate continues over the ethics of the situation. While some argue Banks was right to expose what she perceived as inappropriate behavior, others criticize her for sharing private messages on a public platform, raising questions about consent, privacy, and digital accountability.
Reactions from users have ranged from shock to mockery:
“Just saw why Conor McGregor is trending… absolutely wild,”
“Azealia Banks and Conor McGregor? Never thought I’d see that headline,”
“Being Conor McGregor’s wife right now must be an adventure.”
The incident adds another layer to the complex public images of both Banks and McGregor — two figures never far from controversy — and once again highlights the blurred lines between private communication and public exposure in the digital age.
