Conor McGregor Responds After Azealia Banks 'Exposed His Nude Pictures' on X

IRELAND, JUL 16 – Conor McGregor denies allegations after rapper Azealia Banks leaked explicit images amid his 2025 Irish presidential campaign, calling the reaction a distraction from national issues.

  • On Wednesday, former UFC champion Conor McGregor addressed the leaked images, posting a defiant and vulgar message on X.
  • In screenshots posted by Banks, she alleges he sent her unsolicited explicit photos despite her not following him on X.
  • One leaked photo shows McGregor’s genitals strapped to a dumbbell with the caption `Lifting weights`, and sharing such images without consent can carry up to two years’ imprisonment under UK law.
  • In seeking a political silver lining, McGregor positioned the online storm as momentum for his political campaign, delivered amid his unlikely bid for Ireland’s presidency.
  • Looking ahead, the 2025 Irish presidential election is expected on 11 November, and McGregor fully intends to run for president later this year.
