Explicit photographs that Conor McGregor allegedly sent privately to recording artist Azealia Banks were circulated online on 14 July after Banks posted the images on the social-media platform X. Multiple social-media accounts shared screenshots of the posts, saying they showed McGregor in the nude. Neither McGregor nor Banks had issued public statements on the matter by mid-afternoon Monday, and Bloomberg could not independently verify the authenticity of the images. The posts were no longer visible on Banks’s account later in the day, but the pictures had already been widely reposted, drawing considerable attention to the mixed-martial-arts star’s private life.
