Conor McGregor says Artem Lobov is 'F***** up in the head' in latest social media tirade

Conor McGregor has once again taken to social media to slam his former friend Artem Lobov, and has said that his former pal is 'F***** up in the head.'

McGregor was reacting to a video that he had been tagged in by a fan. The clip, which is in Russian, shows Lobov acting out a scene where he meets up with another man. In the background, an instrumental version of 'The Foggy Dew,' which is McGregor's entrance music, can be heard.

Suddenly, a McGregor impersonator appears on a big screen above Lobov and starts speaking. The impersonator says, "Yo Gucci Grandpa, F*** this World and show him who's the man. Do what you gotta do."

Taking to Twitter, McGregor reacted to the video saying, "Look at this f******* S***. I hooked him up with this company Parimatch an all. Im actually lost for words lads. Out straight. F***** up cookie you are in the head pal. You’re B*******. #rat."

In a follow up Tweet, McGregor said, "Excuse me I didn’t approve of this s****. Who is this guy pretending to be me here? I’d sue but I prefer jail."

****WARNING: VERY STRONG LANGUAGE IN THESE TWEETS****

McGregor and Lobov were once very close friends and teammates. However, the relationship has soured with news breaking last week that Lobov was suing McGregor for millions.

Lobov has claimed in an interview with TalkSPORT that it was his idea for McGregor to go into the whiskey business.

"The selling point of my book will be the Proper 12 Whiskey story," Lobov told TalkSport radio last month.

"A few people know, but this was actually my idea. I was the person who came up with the idea to do a whiskey for Conor.

"After the second Diaz fight, me and Conor were in the gym and we were talking one day and he says to me, ‘Artem, Thor, – ‘The Mountain’ out of Game of Thrones – I was chatting to him, and he’s offered me to do my own vodka.

"He said, he was doing one in Iceland and now he’s offering me the chance to do one as well. It looks like a pretty good deal what do you think about that?’"

He continued: "I said, ‘well Conor I’ll tell you one thing. Vodka is the best-selling spirit and it’s definitely something we should look into at some point."

With news breaking last week that a lawsuit between the pair was imminent, McGregor's team issued the following statement:

""Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey was created, developed, branded and tirelessly promoted by Conor McGregor," McGregor spokesperson Karen Kessler wrote in a statement. "Any suggestion that the plaintiff has a claim to Proper No. Twelve is incorrect."
