Grimes has claimed that her ex-partner and co-parent, Elon Musk, blocked her on his social media platform, X, formerly known as Twitter.
The singer, 37, responded after an X user noticed that she no longer appeared to be following Musk. In a Dec. 11 post, Grimes explained what happened.
“For context, I’m just living my life,” she wrote. “He followed me and then blocked me. I’m not going to follow and stop. My only priority is parenting, I’m not interested in public drama.”
She added: “It’s so silly lol.”
Grimes and Musk, 54, began dating in 2018. They share three children: son X Æ A-Xii, born in May 2020; daughter Exa Dark Sideræl, born via surrogate in December 2021; and son Techno Mechanicus, born in June 2022.
In October 2023, Grimes filed a petition to establish parental rights for all three children. A year later, she revealed that a custody battle had delayed new music.
“Spent a year fighting in a state with terrible maternal rights where my Instagram posts and modeling were used as reasons why I shouldn’t have my kids,” she wrote in November 2024. “All the while not seeing one of my babies for 5 months.”
Grimes has repeatedly raised concerns about her children being in the public eye. After Musk brought their son X to the Oval Office in February, she wrote, “He shouldn’t be in public like this.”
In a TIME interview, she added, “I really wanted people to stop posting pictures of my kid everywhere,” and said that “fame is something you should consent to.”
In March, Grimes said she had been “begging” to keep her children offline, calling their public exposure “of grave concern.”
