Grimes Calls for Kid Privacy Amid Elon Musk Custody Drama

Grab your popcorn, folks, because the saga of Grimes and Elon Musk just keeps getting juicier. The eclectic singer recently made headlines for expressing her frustration over her children’s public exposure, urging fans and media to stop posting images of her kids without consent. Just a month back, Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher, was vocal about her son X Æ A-Xii appearing in the press at a White House event, remarking, “It was like, ‘Grimes slams,’ ‘Grimes speaks out.’ All I really want is for people to stop posting images of my kid everywhere.” Can you imagine the chaos that must ensue for a child of a high-profile couple navigating the limelight?
Notably, Grimes shares three kids with Musk, aged four, three, and two (yes, you read that right), and their relationship has been a rollercoaster— on again, off again, with a major custody battle brewing post their 2022 split. This messy saga saw Grimes claiming that she hadn’t seen one of her children for months, hinting at the not-so-cosy dynamic between the two.
Recently, after Musk took their eldest, nicknamed “Little X,” to the Oval Office, Grimes actively took to social media to voice her concerns, stating her son should not be exposed to such public settings. Her comments became even more intense when she publicly implored Musk to respond to a critical medical issue affecting one of their children. In a desperate plea, she tweeted, “I am sorry to do this publicly, but it is no longer acceptable to ignore this situation. This requires immediate attention.” Dramatic, right? But Grimes felt it was necessary to put public pressure on Musk after he allegedly ignored her messages regarding their child’s urgent health matter.
In a world increasingly aware of the impact of fame—even on the tiniest stars—Grimes’s pleas could be a wake-up call for parents in the spotlight. Let’s see if her public calls compel Musk to step up. After all, we don’t want to end up in a situation that permanently affects the kids involved. Maybe for the sake of their little ones, it’s time for both parents to take a moment and prioritize their children’s well-being over social media drama.
