American rapper Azealia Banks has ignited controversy by publicly sharing what she claims are unsolicited nude photographs sent to her by UFC fighter Conor McGregor, accusing him of sexual harassment.
The 34-year-old musician, known for her provocative social media presence, posted screenshots of the alleged explicit images on Monday evening, accompanied by accusations that McGregor had threatened her to remain silent about the incident.
Banks shared two photographs that appear to show McGregor posing naked in front of a mirror, which she alleges he sent despite her not following his account.
In her posts, Banks wrote: "How you gonna send a b**** a some crooked d*** pics then threaten her not to tell. @TheNotoriousMMA n**** do you know who the f*** I am? This is HARAM."

One image apparently showed his anatomy attached to a dumbbell, accompanied by the caption "Lifting weights".

Banks later shared another screenshot showing the alleged pictures had been "hidden" on X, commenting: "The motherf****er woke up early LOL."
The incident comes as McGregor faces scrutiny over photographs showing him kissing an unidentified woman in a bikini on a Fort Lauderdale beach over the weekend, despite his engagement to longtime partner Dee Devlin.
The 37-year-old was captured with his hand on the woman's thigh and his arm around her shoulder in images taken in full view of other beachgoers.

The five-time UFC champion has faced mounting legal troubles, including a November verdict finding him civilly liable for sexually assaulting a woman in a Dublin hotel in December 2018.
McGregor, who is appealing that verdict, was ordered to pay €248,603.60 (around £215,000) in compensation to Nikita Hand.
He also faces a civil lawsuit for sexual battery following an alleged incident at a 2023 NBA Finals game in Miami.
The latest scandal comes after the UFC star confirmed his intent to return to the octagon, following US President Donald Trump's announcement the White House would host an event next year.
The Irishman would likely fight Michael Chandler.
