Conor McGregor poses for picture with 'lyrical genius' rapper 2Chainz

Conor McGregor is still hanging with the rich and famous in Los Angeles as rapper 2Chainz is the latest star to cross paths with the Dubliner.

McGregor, currently recovering from a horror ankle break in his loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264, has been over on the west coast soaking up the sunshine and meeting some big celebrities.

He's already shared snaps with singing sensation Justin Bieber last month, and after Dee Devlin and his kids made the trip recently, he's been pictured with another star.

Taking to Instagram, McGregor shared a photo of him alongside rapper 2Chainz, describing him as a 'lyrical genius'.

It comes after Khabib Nurmagomedov launched an honest attack on him after McGregor deleted a tweet aimed at his late father.

“When he talked about this, only evil can talk about your father, wife, kids, religion,” Nurmagomedov said on Mike Tyson's Hotboxin' podcast.

“If you’re normal human, you’re never going to talk about this stuff. For me, I think he post this tweet (while) drunk too much or (he was doing) something.

"Then the next day, he always delete these tweets. When he become normal life (he looks at his phone) and says, ‘Oh, look what I did.’ Then he delete. This is my opinion what he do all the time.

“When someone is not with us – he is not even alive – this shows what you have inside. This shows how dirty you are.

"When you one of the best in the world and you come and you punch someone who is like 70 years old, like an old man (in a pub), this shows your heart. This shows who you are inside, how dirty you are.

"When you have parents and you have kids, how can you show yourself like this? I don’t understand why his close people don’t go, ‘Hey, what’s going on?'"
