Grimes claimed she was the one who walked away from her failed relationship with Elon Musk.
The singer (real name Claire Elise Boucher) made the comments in response to a Tweet directed at her by Azealia Banks posted via X on Thursday, December 26.
Referencing a feud between the pair that made headlines in 2018 and resharing a meme that depicted Banks and Grimes as enemy characters in the movie Wicked, Banks hit out at Grimes.
Banks accused Grimes, 36, of not letting go of their alleged feud and “still trying to paint me like the villian and act like ur above me.”
Elon Musk and Grimes were together for four years before calling it quits in 2022. The couple made their red carpet debut in May 2018, shortly after reports surfaced of their relationship. However, it wasn’t always smooth sailing for the businessman and the singer. They weathered split rumors and a very public feud with Azealia […]
“Girl the way u are still trying to hold out on some weird a– innocent bullsh–t years later after u got dumped, cheated on,” Banks, 33, wrote.
Banks went on to describe Grimes as having “PEAK white female delusion,” and added, “Get over urself.”
“U can really quit mentioning me. I know you wish you could be my bestie but b–tch….. it’s f—ing boring as hell. Let it go,” she continued.

Grimes defended herself in response, writing, “It’s just a funny joke bro. not trying to paint u as a villain.”
The musician also refuted the comment that she was “dumped” by Musk, 53, claiming it was the other way around.
“I didn’t ‘get dumped’. I bounced. My amazing baby is asleep in my bed beside me, I’m in love. no regrets. Life is as beautiful as u want it to be,” Grimes wrote.
She continued: “Ur insanely talented. Even after all this, I want u to win. God bless Mlady.”
Grimes and Musk were together for four years before their 2022 split and have since endured a messy custody battle over their three kids, son X Æ A-Xii, 4, daughter Exa Dark Sideræl, 3, and son Techno Mechanicus, 2.
Grimes is making claims about ex Elon Musk as their custody battle continues. “Having babies rips you apart and puts you back together,” Grimes, 36, shared in a lengthy statement via X earlier this month. “Babies are ten thousand philosophy classes of s— you can only learn from that experience.” The singer-songwriter, whose real name […]
Grimes confirmed she had split with Musk via a post on X that referenced a Vanity Fair article about their relationship that had been recently published at the time.
“Me and E have broken up *again* since the writing of this article haha, but he’s my best friend and the love of my life, and my life and art are forever dedicated to The Mission now,” she wrote via X in March 2022. “I think Devin wrote that part of the story rly well. Sique – peace out.”
In addition to the kids he shares with Grimes, Musk is also the father to six other children from other relationships.
