'Don't Let Them Distract You While They Rob Our Country Blind', Says Conor McGregor Amid Azaalia Banks Row

News183 days ago
Banks claimed that McGregor sent her a couple of explicit images, and instead of confirming or denying the allegations, McGregor took a crack at Irish President hopeful McGuinness.
Conor McGregor took to the social media platform X, formerly Twitter, to crack a political joke a couple of days after American rapper Azealia Banks exposed the combat artist for sending her unsolicited nude images.
Banks had shared a couple of explicit images of McGregor, one in which the Irishman was holding weights with the caption that read, 'Lifting Weights', while the other reeked of a warning labelled 'Don't be a rat cos all rats get caught.'
However, instead of confirming or denying it, McGregor chose to respond to a social media user who had alluded to the allegations after the fighter's criticism of Irish presidential hopeful Mairead McGuinness.
'Don't let them distract you with my G C while they rob our country blind," McGrogor's post read.

'Didn't she just get caught defrauding the state?" McGregor's comment on McGuniess use of EU expenses read. The user had posted an update that read, 'This is why the big news is Conor's giant cock rather than the facts he is spraying."

And while dealing with the ordeal, what did the former MMA fighter do? He was celebrating his 37th birthday on a yathc in Ibiza in Spain.
McGregor has been a flagbearer for the world of combat sports since he made the headlines for his in-ring domination of opponents for a prolonged period of time. The Irishman has not been one to shy away form controversies or the tabloid columns.
