Conor McGregor breaks silence after rapper posts alleged 'x-rated photo of UFC fighter' on social media
Conor McGregor has took to social media for the first time since a rapper accused him of sending alleged nude photos.
The UFC fighter, who hasn't fought inside the Octagon since July 2021, has been in embroiled in various controversies in recent times and over the weekend, photographs emerged of him 'kissing' another woman that wasn't his fiancee Dee Devlin while on a beach.
That wasn't the only storm concerning McGregor, as New York rapper Azealia Banks claimed he sent her unsolicited images on direct messages on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Banks, who had a huge hit with '212' in 2012 but is perhaps better known for regular controversial rants online, posted two images allegedly showing McGregor naked in the mirror.

The 34-year-old alleged that the former two-weight UFC champion sent the pictures despite not following her on the platform and said she was "sexually harassed".
One picture appeared to be captioned, "Lifting weights", with McGregor's manhood seemingly strapped to a dumbbell, while the message purported to be from the Irishman read, "Don't be a rat cos all rats get caught".
It is unclear if the image is genuine and McGregor is yet to officially respond.
"How you gonna send a b**** a some crooked d*** pics then threaten her not to tell," Banks said online, accompanied by screenshots containing the alleged pictures and messages.
"@TheNotoriousMMA n**** do you know who the f*** I am? This is HARAM".
In a second post, she added: "Like how are you really going to sexually harrass [sic] me with the potato farmer d*** then threaten me not to tell???? Honey…… ain’t u trying to be the president of Ireland what is it giving fam? Use some f***ing sunscreen damn'".
Conor McGregor breaks silence
McGregor celebrated his 37th birthday on Monday and failing to address the latest incident, he simply took to his official X account to write, "Happy birthday to me!".
McGregor has been with partner Devlin for 16 years and the two have four children together: Conor Jr, Croia Mairead, Rian and Mack.
They got engaged in 2020 and Devlin has shied away from any public comment on her other half's many misdemeanours and stood by him at the trial where he was found liable of sexual assaulting a woman in a Dublin hotel room in December 2018.
Devlin wished McGregor a happy birthday on her private Instagram story, uploading a series of pictures and commenting: "Happy Birthday to the person who always keeps Dee entertained and makes her smile".
