Conor McGregor Responds with Birthday Message as Azealia Banks Shares Nude Photo Allegations and Cheating Claims
July 15, 2025 UFC star Conor McGregor has broken his silence amid a wave of controversy but not in the way fans expected. Instead of addressing the serious accusations made against him, the Irish fighter took to X (formerly Twitter) with a brief and oddly celebratory message:
“Happy birthday to me!”
The post, shared on the evening of his 37th birthday (July 14), came just hours after rapper Azealia Banks went public with explosive allegations. In a series of social media posts, Banks claimed that McGregor had sent her unsolicited nude images via direct message and then allegedly threatened her not to speak about it.
Banks shared what appeared to be mirror selfies of a naked man she identified as McGregor, claiming they were sent without warning. Alongside the screenshots, she wrote:
“How you gonna send a b**** some crooked d*** pics then threaten her not to tell?”
She further called him out by name and handle, adding: on www.jrgdaphne.com
“@TheNotoriousMMA, do you know who the f*** I am? This is HARAM.”
The screenshots included a message from an account resembling McGregor’s saying, “Don’t be a rat ‘cos all rats get caught,” and a photo that seemed to show him lifting a dumbbell in an explicit pose, captioned “Lifting weights.”
Banks later posted that the images had been hidden on X after she stopped following McGregor’s account, speculating that someone on his team may have acted quickly to remove the content.
“The motherf***er woke up early LOL,” she joked.
Cheating Scandal Adds Fuel to the Fire
These accusations dropped just as McGregor faced backlash for what appeared to be cheating behavior over the weekend. Viral photos showed him getting cozy with a mystery woman in a leopard-print bikini on a beach in Fort Lauderdale, Florida while his longtime partner Dee Devlin was nowhere to be seen.
In the snaps, McGregor is seen sharing a lounger, laughing, and even wrapping his arm around the woman’s back. The two were also spotted heading into the ocean together, joined by another female companion.
The images immediately stirred outrage and speculation online especially as McGregor has been engaged to Devlin since 2020, and they share four children together.
Dee Devlin Breaks Her Silence
Surprisingly, Devlin seemed unfazed. Instead of addressing the photos or Banks’ claims, she shared a birthday tribute to McGregor via her Instagram story. The post, shared from a fan account, read:
“Happy Birthday to the person who always keeps Dee entertained and makes her smile.”
The timing of the post felt pointed perhaps a message of loyalty, or maybe a public show of indifference.
Silence or Strategy?
As of now, McGregor has not denied or commented on the allegations directly. His only public statement remains his cheerful birthday message to over 10 million followers.
While fans wait to see if McGregor or his team will formally respond, the story continues to spread fueled by screenshots, beach photos, and growing public interest.
Both DailyMail and other outlets have reached out to McGregor’s legal and PR teams, as well as Banks’ representatives, but no official comments have been released.
