Azealia Banks has accused Conor McGregor of sexual harassment, after posting screenshots alleging that the MMA fighter sent her unsolicited nude photos and tried to threaten her into silence.
In screenshots seen on her X/Twitter account yesterday (July 14), Banks shared what appear to be messages from McGregor, telling her: “Don’t be a rat cos all rats get caught”, after allegedly sending explicit photos, which she shared.
In the UK, it is illegal to share or threaten to share private sexual photos or videos of someone without their permission.
The ‘212’ rapper captioned the images: “How you gonna send a bitch a some crooked dick pics then threaten her not to tell. @TheNotoriousMMA n***a do you know who the fuck I am? This is HARAM.”
In a follow-up tweet, she wrote: “Like how are you really going to sexually harrass me with the potato farmer dick then threaten me not to tell???? Honey…… ain’t u trying to be the president of Ireland what is it giving fam?
“Use some fucking sunscreen damn.”
NME has reached out to representatives of Banks and McGregor for comment.
When an X user asked why she shared the photos online “unprovoked”, she responded: “We have a presidency to secure honey,” and later posted: “Conor McGregor 4 President.”
In another post on the platform, Banks wrote: “No me and Conor McGregor have been sending each other unsolicited nudes since 2016. LOL.”
She added: “I have never met the leprechaun but today is his birthday and he wants everyone to make a wish and blow out the candle …. Funny how big of closet maga bait that was… Men are so homo and obsessed with dick it’s not even funny.”
McGregor made headlines in March when he announced on Instagram that he aimed to run for the Irish presidency on an anti-immigration platform. The post came only days after he appeared at the White House with Donald Trump for St. Patrick’s Day.

Last December, Banks was embroiled in a highly publicised online feud, and issued a cease and desist letter to The 1975’s Matty Healy, demanding $1million (£743,743) in damages while claiming that he had threatened physical violence against her in an online war of words.
As for McGregor, last year he was ordered to pay almost €250,000 (£208,000) in damages to Nikita Hand, who won her claim for damages in a civil court after accusing him of raping her. The alleged incident took place in a hotel in December 2018 but McGregor claimed in court that the encounter was fully consensual.
