Grimes clarified that she ended her relationship with Elon Musk, not the other way around, during a heated exchange with rapper Azealia Banks on Musk’s platform, X. The argument reignited their long-running feud, with Banks accusing Grimes of being “dumped,” cheated on, and having her children “kidnapped.”
Grimes responded firmly, stating, “I didn’t ‘get dumped.’ I bounced. My amazing baby is asleep in my bed beside me, I’m in love. No regrets.” The drama began when Grimes commented on a meme comparing her and Banks to characters from Wicked, which sparked Banks’ anger. Banks made controversial claims about Musk and Grimes’ past.
Grimes defended her original comment as a light-hearted joke and expressed no hard feelings toward Banks, even acknowledging her talent. Grimes and Musk’s on-and-off relationship lasted from 2018 to 2022, and they share three children. Despite their ongoing custody battle, Musk has remained silent, leaving Grimes to assert herself in the face of Banks’ criticisms.
