Grimes, whose real name is Claire Elise Boucher, says she was “going bankrupt” because of a custody battle with the father of her three children. Elon Musk, who often lectures on the importance of family and children on his social media site Twitter/X.
Grimes shared new details about her custody battle on Twitter/X, reports Business Insider:
When asked on the social-media platform X, which Musk owns, why she hadn’t released many projects as of late, Grimes wrote that “the threat of losing ur kids while going bankrupt fighting for them is not very conducive to creative thoughts.”
“I just slept and cried every minute I wasn’t explicitly fighting for my kids during that year,” she said.
In another post, Grimes said much of her art output was shut down for four years because she was having kids and spent one year in court, presumably a reference to the case.
In a separate post, Grimes said she had only a “fraction” of Musk’s resources. Musk is the richest person in the world with a $315 billion net worth.
“Spent a year locked in battle in a state with terrible mothers rights having my instagram posts and modeling used as reasons I shouldn’t have my kids and fighting and detaching from the love of my life as he becomes unrecognizable to me, with a fraction of his resources (or iq/ strategy experience), all the while I didn’t see one of my babies for 5 months,” she said.
