Who dumped whom? Grimes says she was the one who walked away from Elon Musk, Azealia Banks taunts her with meme, Twitter erupts

Grimes claims that instead of being dumped, she bounced from Elon Musk and has no regrets. Grimes asserted that it was she who ended her unsuccessful relationship with Elon Musk. The remarks were made by the singer, whose real name is Claire Elise Boucher, in reaction to a tweet that Azealia Banks sent her via X on Thursday, December 26.

What sparked the latest Grimes-Azealia Banks feud?

Banks criticised Grimes, citing a feud between the two that garnered media attention in 2018 and reposting a meme that portrayed Banks and Grimes as antagonists in the film Wicked.

Grimes was accused by Banks of holding onto their supposed feud and "continuing to paint me as the villain and act like you're above me. Years after being dumped and cheated on, you're still trying to hang onto some strange, innocent girl,” wrote Bank.


Banks described Grimes as having "PEAK white female delusion" and called for her to let it go. Grimes defended herself, saying it was a funny joke and not trying to paint her as a villain. She didn't ‘get dumped’ rather she bounced. Her amazing baby is asleep in her bed beside her and she has no regrets whatsoever. Grimes also refuted the comment that she was “dumped” by Musk claiming it was the other way around, as quoted in a report by US Weekly.

Before splitting in 2022, Grimes and Musk were together for four years. Since then, they have been embroiled in a contentious custody dispute over their three children: son Techno Mechanicus, 2, daughter Exa Dark Siderael, 3, and son X Æ A-Xii, 4.

In a post on X, Grimes acknowledged that she and Musk had broken up, citing a recent Vanity Fair magazine article about their relationship. She wrote in March 2022 that she and Musk have broken up again, but he is her best friend and the love of her life.

Musk is the father of six other children from previous relationships in addition to the ones he has with Grimes.
