Controversial rapper Azealia Banks is once again trending—but this time, it’s for a jaw-dropping accusation involving UFC legend Conor McGregor.
In a series of now-viral Instagram Stories posted in July 2025, Banks claimed McGregor sent her unsolicited nude photos along with an aggressive message warning her:
“Don’t be a rat cause all rats get caught.”
She captioned the screenshot with:
“How do you run for president while showing your [explicit] to strangers in the DMs?”
The Receipts: What Banks Posted
In classic Azealia style, the rapper didn’t just say it—she posted alleged screenshots of the messages. The image, now circulating across social media, shows what appears to be a censored image and explicit language tied to McGregor’s account.
Fans were quick to dissect the drama, with phrases like “Azealia Banks DMs leak,” “McGregor nudes,” and “McGregor harassment scandal” trending on X (formerly Twitter).
Internet Reactions: Split, Savage, and Scandalized
Public response to the scandal has been intense and divisive:
@UFCTruthBombs: “Azealia Banks posting Conor McGregor’s nudes is the most 2025 thing ever. This year’s chaotic as hell.”
@WitchyWoke: “Say what you want about Azealia, but she doesn’t lie. Remember the Elon Musk-Grimes thing?”
@CancelMeNow: “McGregor really thought he could just slide into anyone’s DMs. Bad move, champ.”
McGregor has not publicly responded as of this writing.
Drama Déjà Vu: Feuding with Bebe Rexha Over Body Comments
Just days before this latest bombshell, Azealia clashed with Bebe Rexha—body-shaming her appearance post-Met Gala and suggesting she looked like she had “birth control implants.”
Rexha responded with grace, opening up about her battle with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), weight struggles, and a past pregnancy loss.
Rexha told followers: “I have been through enough. I lost a baby. I gained weight. And I’m tired of being mocked by women who should know better.”
This exchange reignited conversations around body image, misogyny, and the use of public platforms for personal attacks.
Azealia Banks: Controversy Is Her Brand
This isn’t Banks’ first scandal—and likely won’t be her last. Here’s a brief look at her most infamous controversies:
| Year | Incident | Details |
| 2021 | Cat Exhumation | Posted video of herself boiling her dead cat’s remains for “taxidermy” |
| 2020 | Nicki Minaj Beef | Accused Nicki of “copying” and spreading hate |
| 2019 | Lana Del Rey Feud | Threatened to physically harm Lana after a political debate |
| 2016 | UK Ban | Banned from performing in the UK after racist tweets toward Zayn Malik |
| Ongoing | Online Fights | Feuds with Cardi B, Iggy Azalea, Doja Cat, Lizzo, and countless others |
Despite her behavior, Banks continues to spark massive online engagement, with some fans calling her “the villain we can’t stop watching.”
What’s Next? Consequences or More Chaos?
So far, there’s no legal action against McGregor—or Banks. But experts warn this could escalate into a defamation case if McGregor denies the allegations and proves they were fabricated.
Meanwhile, Banks is riding the viral wave, posting cryptic messages about witchcraft, celebrity hypocrisy, and staying “unapologetically real.”
