Not called the UFC megastar for nothing, wherever Conor McGregor goes, drama isn’t far behind. The Irishman, who turned 37 yesterday, may be getting older, but true to form, the Irishman continues to bask in the limelight. Currently, he’s soaking up the sun in Florida, where he’s been celebrating his birthday in signature McGregor fashion. Though initially there for the BKFC’s Florida event last week, ‘The Notorious’ chose to extend his stay—sparking controversy over his prolonged Florida vacation.
Conor McGregor’s birthday quickly turned into more than just a private affair, as viral photos and messages took over social media. Yet again, he found himself caught in a wave of online mockery. One of the highlights—or lowlights—was a birthday message on X that seemed to come from First Lady Melania Trump. However, it turned out the post came from a fan page, not the real Melania—triggering another round of jokes across the MMA community. If that wasn’t enough, ‘The Notorious’ fell into yet another fan page trap—this time thanks to a meme account.
Conor McGregor falls for fake Hillary birthday post
As critics continued to slam him for his recent antics, McGregor attempted to reclaim the spotlight by posting a video of himself enjoying a day on a yacht. However, the focus quickly shifted again when a meme page shared what looked like a birthday greeting from Hillary Clinton, featuring a childhood photo of ‘The Notorious’ and the caption: “Happy birthday to this future president.”
The post appeared to hint at support for Conor McGregor as a potential contender in an upcoming Irish presidential election, prompting him to reply: “Thank you.” Unfortunately for him, the post turned out to be fake—since Hillary Clinton never publicly shared any birthday wish—leaving the Irishman open to yet another wave of online mockery.

In his desperation, and without verifying the source, Conor McGregor acknowledged the message, which many saw as an attempt to gain backing from foreign figures to boost his prospects in Ireland’s 2025 elections. However, that goal now seems increasingly out of reach, as McGregor found himself caught in two separate controversies on the same day, involving a ‘mysterious lady’ spotted with him on a Florida beach, and the other with American singer-rapper Azealia Banks, who shared some disturbing private chat leaks online.

Fans were buzzing over Conor McGregor’s recent announcement regarding his fighting future, especially after he showed interest in competing at next year’s UFC White House event, a notion that UFC CEO Dana White also backed. However, that excitement didn’t stick around for long. A whole new controversy quickly took center stage. Azealia Banks, the American singer and rapper famous for her hit “Luxury” and her viral online persona, has made allegations against ‘The Notorious,’ claiming he sent her explicit photos via social media. Banks released the supposed images, chats, and photos on McGregor’s birthday.
The content quickly went viral, flooding X and spawning a wave of memes. Among those who reacted was former UFC star Chael Sonnen, who didn’t hold back his brutally honest take. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Sonnen shared his reaction and said, “I can’t quit staring at Conor’s d–k. I can’t stop. I have stared at his d–k for the last two hours. He attached a weight to his mini me. He got a crooked penile function with a makeshift weight on it. It’s a lot for me to accept.”
So far, neither Conor McGregor nor the UFC CEO Dana White has broken their silence on the controversy—an unsettling quiet that could once again jeopardize ‘The Notorious’s long-awaited return to the Octagon. As we know, White is determined to keep the UFC clear of unwanted drama, and any link to McGregor often sparks backlash—just as it did during the fallout from the Nikita Hand verdict. Stay tuned.
