Conor McGregor is back in the headlines — but not for his fighting. The former UFC double champion is at the center of a social media scandal after American rapper Azealia Banks posted alleged explicit images of him online in a now-viral post.
Banks took to X (formerly Twitter), sharing what appear to be nude photos of McGregor and accusing him of threatening her. “How you gonna send a b**** some crooked d*** pics then threaten her not to tell,” she wrote. Banks also referenced McGregor’s political ambitions in Ireland, claiming he warned her with the message: “Do not be a rat because all rats get caught.”
This controversy follows another headline-grabbing moment — McGregor was recently photographed kissing an unknown woman on a Florida beach while on vacation, sparking speculation about the status of his relationship with longtime fiancée Dee Devlin. The 37-year-old was seen jet skiing before embracing the woman on the sand, setting off another social media firestorm.
Despite the drama, Devlin appeared to show support. She posted a birthday tribute on Instagram with heartfelt captions and family photos, seemingly reaffirming their bond. McGregor and Devlin, engaged since 2020, share four children and have endured several public scandals — including a civil assault case in Dublin in 2023, where McGregor was found liable.
Meanwhile, McGregor continues to tease an MMA return. Though he hasn't fought since his 2021 loss to Dustin Poirier, he recently hinted at a comeback, possibly at the rumored White House UFC event planned for 2026. “It’s looking like I’m headed to the Oval Office again,” he said during a Bare Knuckle FC appearance, signaling interest in being part of the historic spectacle.
Whether McGregor returns to the cage or not, one thing’s clear: the spotlight on “The Notorious” never dims — inside or outside the Octagon.
