Did Azealia Banks expose Conor McGregor's leaked explicit photos?
Reports about the incident flooded social media with users claiming they got their hands on the explicit pictures taken by McGregor. Azealia Banks took to X, saying that McGregor tried to threaten her not to share the photos, which didn't stop the American star from punching back.
Banks clapped back at McCregor when he directly messaged her, "Don't be a rat cos rats get caught" which triggered the public controversy.
She wrote tagging McGregor's X account, "How you gonna send a b*tch a some crooked d**k pics then threaten her not to tell. n**ga do you know who the f**k I am? This is Haram."
Before the controversy erupted on social media, users claimed that McGregor's explicit photos, which are now censored, came up on their timelines.
A social media user shared on X, "I leave this app unopened for a few hours and then I come back to find Conor McGregor nude pics in my timeline, him cheating and sending his little McGregor to Azealia Banks."
Another added, "Petition to ban Azealia Banks and Conor McGregor from Twitter" in reference to both being problematic individuals on social media in the past and present.
The UFC star and married man has had his fair share of scandals. He was recently spotted getting intimate with a woman other than his wife at a beach in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Moreover, the Irish star was recently convicted in Ireland over rape accusations, prompting him to pay €200,000. He's also facing legal difficulties in the US due to a sexual assault case that took place in Kaseya Center, the home of the NBA's Miami Heat.

Coldplay kiss cam scandal sends Astronomer CEO to resign —and the internet into a frenzy
ALBAWABA - Coldplay kiss cam drama unexpectedly exposes tech CEO's alleged affair scandal. This week, a bad kiss cam moment from a Coldplay performance went viral on social media. This brought attention to a small IT company that not many people had heard of. 'On the plus side, we've all heard of Astronomer now, right?' A head of digital marketing in San Francisco named Liz Leslie wrote on LinkedIn. People were searching Google for "What is an astronomer?" a lot after the company's CEO, Andy Byron, was seen making out with Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot on the jumbotron at Gillette Stadium outside of Boston. Chris Martin, lead singer of Coldplay, said from the stage, "Either they're having an affair, or they're just very shy." The astronomer revealed that Byron is married. The little-known IT company became well-known by the end of the week. Astronomer said in a statement on Friday that its board had started a formal review into the matter and that they would have more information to share soon. "We expect our leaders to set the standard for behavior and responsibility," it said. Later, the company said that Byron had been put on leave and that Pete DeJoy, co-founder and chief product officer, was taking over as CEO. That being said, what does an astronomer do? For businesses that want to use AI, it offers an important but often overlooked part: the infrastructure that lets them connect their data to the apps where they need to use it. It said it had worked with Apple, Ford, and Uber. PitchBook says that Astronomer was started in 2018 and had received $375.13 million from investors as of May. More than 300 people work for the New York-based business. Bain Capital Ventures, Insight Partners, and Salesforce Ventures are some of the investors. Companies that don't have a good handle on their own data may not be able to benefit much from AI. This means that better solutions are needed in this area. The trend is shown by Salesforce's $8 billion purchase of Informatica and Snowflake's $250 million purchase of Crunchy Data. The astronomer said that one of its benefits is that it works with Apache Airflow, an open-source tool that many businesses use to manage their data pipelines. What will happen with Coldplay? Will it help or hurt the company's chances in data orchestration? We will have to wait and see. 'While the visibility puts a spotlight on who Astronomer is, this is not usually the kind of publicity that brings in new customers,' said Peter Davenport, senior strategic consultant at brand, marketing, and communications specialist Definition. "In fact, it could hurt the trust and authority that have been built up over many years, especially in fields where trustworthiness and reputation are very important."

Ryanair X Coldplay, splitting up couples: Airlines seizes embarrassing moment
ALBAWABA - Boston, July 18, 2025 — Low-cost airline Ryanair stirred the internet with a savage one-liner after a Coldplay concert 'kiss cam' moment went viral for all the wrong reasons. In a tweet posted just hours after the now-infamous incident, the airline wrote: 'Ryanair 🤝 Coldplay — splitting up couples.' The tweet referenced a now-viral moment during Coldplay's July 17th concert at Gillette Stadium, where frontman Chris Martin jokingly outed a couple on the big screen, sparking allegations of an affair. What started out as a funny moment at a Coldplay concert quickly turned into a huge internet drama when lead singer Chris Martin joked about a couple caught on the venue's Kiss Cam, which led to claims of cheating. At the band's sold-out "Music of the Spheres" show at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, Martin was making up a song called "The Jumbotron Song" when the cameras pan to a man and woman who are seen hugging. "Oh, look at these two," Martin joked, setting up the moment. Either they're seeing someone else or they're just shy!" People in the crowd laughed out loud, but the couple's odd response—ducking away from the camera—made people look twice. The two people were quickly identified as Andy Byron, CEO of the tech company Astronomer, and Kristin Cabot, Chief People Officer of the business. People thought that they might be dating beyond work because of how close they seemed to each other and how quickly they tried to avoid attention. People online connected the man to Megan Kerrigan Byron, a woman thought to be his wife. The woman apparently deleted her social media accounts soon after the video went public, which made things worse. A video clip that has been shared a lot of times shows Martin looking awkward as he seems to understand what his joke might mean. He spoke to the crowd nervously, "I hope we didn't do anything bad." Millions of people have watched the video on TikTok and X (formerly Twitter), with reactions that range from shock and laughter to pity. Some fans joked that Coldplay made 'two new singles'—a nod to both the band and the possible broken relationships. A joke that went popular asked, "What's worse: finding out your partner is cheating or that they like Coldplay?" A claimed quote from Byron started going around online, but Astronomer quickly said it wasn't real. Neither Byron nor Cabot have said anything about what happened in public, and their agents have turned down pleas from the media. Coldplay's world tour, which began in 2022 and will end at London's Wembley Stadium in September 2025, is going on at the same time as the controversy. The band was in the news earlier this summer for bringing back old hits like "Speed of Sound," but this awkward show moment has really caught people's attention. Fans may want to think twice before getting close to the camera while the tour is going on, especially since Chris Martin will be watching.
