Azealia Banks is happy birthday Conor McGregor spilling a private DM on her. Conor McGregor is an Irish mixed martial artist who made history as the first UFC fighter to host two championship belts at once, and is unfamiliar with the headlines. This time, he is relying on digital dust ups other than Asia Ria Banks, a harem-born rapper known for his hit single “212” and social media presence.

The latest episode began when Banks joined social media, accusing Conor McGregor of sending her unsolicited, explicit photo in a direct message. Rather than the person who carves the words, the bank posted screenshots and commentary, claiming that the UFC star not only sent the images but also threatened to not share them.
She referenced McGregor’s rumored political ambitions and offered some skincare advice along the way, not being understated. The internet is always starving for sight, but quickly turned these posts into virus feed, egg-laying memes and hot take.
The post quickly went viral, causing widespread discussion and gusts of memes. Banks’ commentary states, “How do you send a pic of a bent DK to bch and then threaten not to tell her? Conor McGregor, f**k who am I? This is Haram.” She also laughed at McGregor’s appearance and advised her to “use sunscreen.”
McGregor is silent on his part about the matter. The bank claims that McGregor directly deleted the message after she was published. Meanwhile, McGregor’s fiancee Dee Devlin posted a hilarious birthday message to her partner, and a hilarious birthday message as if the online storm was just another Tuesday.
This is not McGregor’s first controversial brush. He was recently discovered alongside a mysterious woman on a Florida beach and has a history of legal issues. For banks, public feuds are almost professional sports in their own right. Taking off on “212” and genre blending debut album, her career was interrupted by a sharp tongue conflict and a statement that grabs headlines. Social media users responded with a mixture of shock, entertainment and criticism, analysing both allegations and responses (or lack of it) from stakeholders.
