Conor McGregor’s 37th birthday took an unexpected turn when rapper Azealia Banks publicly accused him of sending unsolicited nude photos and threatening her into silence. Banks shared a fully uncensored image of the UFC star on X, which quickly spread across the internet, with users saving and mocking the photo.

“How do you expect to send inappropriate photos and then threaten silence? Conor, do you have any idea who you’re dealing with?”

Banks wrote, criticizing McGregor’s anatomy as “crooked.” She further challenged his political aspirations, adding,

“Aren’t you trying to run for President of Ireland? This isn’t helping your case.”

To substantiate her claims, Banks shared a screenshot of an alleged threatening message from McGregor: “Don’t betray me, because people who do always get caught.” She claimed he had attempted to delete the explicit photos but overlooked the threatening text.

The incident rapidly went viral, not just because of the accusations, but due to the circulating explicit image. However, skepticism quickly emerged. Many users questioned the photo’s authenticity, suggesting Banks might be fabricating the scandal for attention.

“She’s clearly just trying to stay in the spotlight,” one commenter wrote. Others pointed to potential artificial generation, with some claiming to have run the image through AI detection tools. “The body proportions don’t even match McGregor,” one user noted.
