Conor McGregor had a birthday he won’t soon forget and probably not for the reason he was hoping for.

Gossip overran the MMA community Monday when rapper Azealia Banks leaked alleged nude photos of McGregor – who was celebrating his 37th birthday. She claims they were sent to her via direct message.

“How you gonna send a bitch a some crooked d*ck pics then threaten her not to tell,” Banks wrote in a since-deleted Tweet. “[McGregor], n*gga do you know who the f*ck I am? This is haram.”

“Like how are you going to sexually harass me with the potato farmer d*ck then threaten me not to tell?” Banks continued. “Honey, ain’t you trying to be the president of Ireland, what is it giving, fam? Use some f*cking sunscreen, damn.”

After deleting several tweets, Banks later seemed to walk back the accusation, though what she was specifically implying is unclear.

No me and Conor McGregor have been sending each other unsolicited nudes since 2016. LOL

I have never met the leprechaun but today is his birthday and he wants everyone to make a wish and blow out the candle ….

Funny how big of closet maga bait that was…

Men are so homo and obsessed with dick it’s not even funny

Suffice to say, there were numerous reactions online from McGregor’s fellow fighters, including Chael Sonnen, who confessed he was mesmerized by what he was seeing online.

“I can’t quit staring at Conor’s d*ck.” Sonnen said on his YouTube channel. “I can’t stop. … I’ve stared at his d*ck for the last two hours.”

“He attached a weight to his Mini-Me,” he continued. “You’ve got a crooked penile function with a makeshift weight on it. It’s a lot for me to accept.”

Every time Conor McGregor’s insane behaviour is nearly forgotten about/barely discussed.. he must sit there and think “I gotta take this up a notch”
