Who are Conor McGregor's band at centre of Freemasons controversy?
The Grand Lodge of the Freemasons of Ireland have launched an investigation after a musician that is signed to Conor McGregor's record label used the venue to film a music video which depicts a sex act being committed on a character knows as the 'Royal Highness.'
The venue appears in the music video for the song 'Spit in It' by artist Eskimo Supreme and acts as a stand-in for a room in the UK Government buildings of Westminster.
In the video actors playing Irish paramilitaries shout explicit demands at a woman described as 'Your Royal Highness.' They are then forced at gunpoint to commit a sex act on the woman.
Philip AJ Daley, Grand Secretary of the Freemasons in Ireland, confirmed via email to the Irish Mirror that a probe is underway in relation to the use of their hall for the video.
Eskimo Supreme, real name Alex Sheehan, is a former member of Dublin rap duo versatile. He is signed to McGregor's Greenback Records, a company which was formed in 2023 with the stated aim of being 'a multi genre record label supporting artists at all stages of their career.'
This is the second controversy involving the Freemasons and Conor McGregor in recent weeks after the MMA star's interview with controversial American political commentator Tucker Carlson was held at the Grand Lodge of the Freemasons.
In a statement following the interview, the Freemasons expressed regret at staging the interview and donated their rental fee for the day to charity.
