Did Azealia Banks expose Conor McGregor's leaked explicit photos?
ALBAWABA - American singer Azealia Banks recently took the internet by storm after taking to X (formerly known as Twitter) and allegedly exposing Irish martial artist Conor McGregor for sending her 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.
