Azealia Banks Shares Private Photos of Conor McGregor
On Monday, rapper Azealia Banks surprised everyone on social media. She posted two private, uncensored photos of Conor McGregor on her X (which used to be called Twitter) account.
Banks claimed that McGregor, a famous MMA fighter, sent her these private pictures without her permission. She also said that McGregor later threatened her to keep quiet about them, which is why she decided to make the photos public.
So far, McGregor hasn't said anything about Banks's claims. Banks also hasn't said if she plans to take him to court.
Conor McGregor's Past Problems
This isn't the first time Conor McGregor has been in the news for controversial reasons. The former UFC champion has a history of scandals:
Recent Beach Incident: Not long ago, he was seen acting very friendly with a woman on a beach in Florida. People who saw them said he seemed close to her, smiling, giving her a towel, and hugging her.
Rape Case in Ireland: A few months before that, he was found guilty in Ireland in a rape case. He settled it by paying almost €200,000 (about $215,000 USD).
Alleged Sexual Assault in the U.S.: He's also facing a lawsuit in the U.S. for an alleged sexual assault that happened at an NBA arena in Miami.
Who is Conor McGregor?
Conor McGregor was born on July 14, 1988, in Dublin, Ireland. He's one of the most famous figures in mixed martial arts (MMA). He became well-known between 2015 and 2016 when he made history by winning UFC championships in two different weight categories at the same time.
McGregor grew up in a working-class part of Dublin. He started boxing at age 12 and later got into kickboxing and MMA. His parents initially wanted him to be a plumber, but he chose to become a professional fighter instead.
He started fighting professionally in 2008 and quickly won many fights and titles. He became known for his bold and outspoken personality. In 2015, he knocked out José Aldo in just 13 seconds to win the UFC featherweight title. The next year, he made history again by holding two UFC belts at once.
In 2017, he tried boxing and had a high-profile match against Floyd Mayweather Jr. Even though he lost, McGregor reportedly made around $130 million and became even more famous worldwide.
After several injuries and retirements—including a bad leg break in 2021—McGregor was expected to return to the UFC in 2024 to fight Michael Chandler. However, that fight was suddenly canceled, supposedly due to another injury, which makes his future in the sport unclear.
