Conor McGregor responds after Azealia Banks 'exposed his nude pictures' on X
This article contains allegations of sexual harassment which some readers may find distressing
Conor McGregor has offered a response after rapper Azealia Banks exposed what is alleged to be his nude pictures on the social media platform X.
The UFC fighter allegedly sent the 212 singer unsolicited naked pictures of himself through Instagram, something which the 34-year-old performer described as sexual harassment online.
In screenshots seen on her X account on July 14, Banks shared messages she claims were from McGregor, in which he told her: "Don’t be a rat cos all rats get caught," alongside some explicit photos, which she also shared on the platform before they were removed for violating guidelines, despite the ridiculous amount of porn that can still be seen on the site.

She wrote: "Like how are you really going to sexually harass me with the potato farmer d**k then threaten me not to tell???? Honey…… ain’t u trying to be the president of Ireland what is it giving fam?"
This comes after McGregor was forced to pay £200,000 in damages to a woman late last year, after she accused the Irishman of raping her in a Dublin hotel back in 2018.
But it seems as if these latest accusations aren't bothering the MMA fighter too much after he shared a meme on his Instagram page, simply accompanied by three laughing emojis.
It read: "Conor McGregor waking up from a sesh on his birthday to see his meat plastered all over Twitter," and showed a man looking at his phone in disbelief.
In the UK, it's illegal to share or even threaten to share private sexual photos or videos of someone without their permission.
This potentially puts both Banks and McGregor at fault, with the latter seemingly being guilty of 'cyberflashing', the sending of unsolicited sexual or nude images, which became a criminal offence under the Online Safety Act of 2023.
McGregor still reportedly harbours hopes of becoming the President in Ireland, and made a bizarre list of demands to the government after visiting the White House to meet Donald Trump earlier this year.
Given that the millionaire sportsman has been found liable for sexual assault and now everyone on social media has seen his naked pictures, his chances of forging a career in politics may well be over, but given the state of the world right now, that is no guarantee.
