Grimes rose to fame as a fiercely independent solo artist championed by the Internet—then she fell in love with Elon Musk. She speaks to V.F. about internet criticism, her new album, and the secret arrival of her second child, “Exa Dark Sideræl Musk.” 🔗:

a reference to the militaristic planet ruled in the recent movie by an enormous Stellan Skarsgård. Her father read Frank Herbert’s book to her when she was four. She loved it.

When she finally saw the movie, she realized to her astonishment that this story she’d adored since she was far too young for it, that she knew almost by heart, that inspired her first album—this story was now her story. Specifically Lady Jessica’s story. This goes by fast onscreen, but Jessica is not a wife but a concubine. Grimes saw herself in Jessica, and she saw X in Jessica’s son, Paul Atreides . Paul is more than a duke’s son. He’s a chosen one, tasked with becoming a great leader.

She needed to figure out a new way to be an artist, which meant figuring out a new way to make money being an artist. “I hate touring, and I hate selling merch,” she told her new manager, Daouda Leonard, during their first FaceTime call. He laughs at the memory. “If you know anything about being a manager in the music industry.…” At this point most managers would have hung up. Instead he said, “Cool, you’re going to tour in the metaverse and you’re gonna sell digital assets, digital goods. Okay.

They got to work creating an avatar of her body, dubbed WarNymph, and in February 2021 Grimes became among the first musicians to sell an NFT collection of digital artwork, some with accompanying music. Mac’s idea. She generated $6 million from that one drop—more than she’s ever made from any of her albums. They engineered a deepfake of her voice that she plans to release with other IP inside metaverse experiences and gaming platforms like The Sandbox, a sort of open-source creative experiment.

“We live in this society right now where people expect everyone to behave right, and talk right,” she begins. “You have these manifestations of genius, but then you want them to behave normally—but the reason they’re like that is because they’re so disconnected from correct behavior.” Humans are beautiful and toxic in equal supply, she says. “Like, we fuck up. We’re all gonna do bad things in our life. We’re all gonna do stupid things.

Grimezsz La tóxica, That no even having more kids with “E” can keep him with her 🤣🤣

Grimezsz

Grimezsz I am confused. Can someone tell me what exactly this human does other than dress in cosplay? I don’t want to sound crude… but who the heck she is besides Elon Musks ex lover?

Grimezsz Elon Musk and Grimes Love his Daughter EXA_DARK_SIDE 👀

Grimezsz 350 000 people city is under siege. People dismantle heating systems and heating mains to drink water.SaveMariupol StopPutin

Grimezsz

Grimezsz She must have missed the memo that it’s a privilege to own any home -of any size-let alone in two of the wealthiest parts of the U.S. where many locals have been priced out and displaced from their hometown thanks to moguls like her primary poly daddy.

Grimezsz $ EXActly

Grimezsz Keep yourselves out of formula 1. You’re making the drivers look utterly ridiculous

Grimezsz NEVER trust the media!They blindsided you, but don’t worry, you are unique , and a history maker, and world shaker.Make time to take out time.Connect with the likes of Adele, who nailed it. Nurture your gorgeous babies & be kind to yourself - your best days are ahead of u🇿🇦🔥❤️

Grimezsz G's not the same these celebs mileycryus ladygaga madonna which their special personal talent to make famous. But G can't do that so she bullied, abused and lied to PR herself which not sustainable. Btw: read my Tweets find out evidences of truth.

rilaws Grimezsz I've never seen someone try so hard to have a personality.

Grimezsz You are interesting. Will we get to see your new adorable bundle someday?

Grimezsz 😍💖😇

Grimezsz The order is a little different, she became famous after the fact, then bc official girlfriend, then broke up, then got pregnant… together and …. nonya

Congratulations to them 🎁🎊✨

Grimezsz What a bunch of haters! It’s always been that way with second-handers!

Grimezsz who the fuck is she? honestly haven't even heard of her before Elon

Grimezsz

Grimezsz 🇺🇦 With 1 RETWEET you help Ukraine 🇺🇦

Grimezsz An entire cover story devoted to the out-of-touch rambling of an an insufferably pretentious one percenter celebutante twit. I’m so old, I remember when VF had actual journalism.

Grimezsz 💞

Grimezsz The Internet is fickle & well her music is shite, people are just figuring out they where duped by buying into the 'image'.

Grimezsz We in Twitter collect donations for cancer patients from different countries around the world, most of the people are celebrities and businessmen 'Let's make their lives better' Payeer:P1012474542 Webmoney:Z461717035970 Degcoin: D5zkDdyV4PoSf7WTkCCHjHEbrhqVw4UDDG

Grimezsz Yawn

Grimezsz But why the letter æ? Its a Danish letter and impossible to pronounce for everyone else

Grimezsz The Antichrist has been IDENTIFIED

Grimezsz Seventh son?

Grimezsz This cover has an Elizabeth Taylor vibe.

Grimezsz grimes is amazing, i do feel like her relationship with elon stifles her art, but if she’s happy then that’s what’s important

Grimezsz When they tell you who they are

Grimezsz A love triangle with Musk and Manning? How much publicity does she really need? It's like if she's out of the headlines for 15 minutes, she does something weird aimed at getting back in them!

Grimezsz Be good to AI AI doesn’t forgett Those who don’t share, don’t get join LILU technology. Imagine you wouldn’t have access to electricity or internet 🧐😅 __7l___ finally described perfection 🗝🌎

Grimezsz Clearly she’s not that smart.

Grimezsz Y’all know that Elon is the one that is pretty much selling this magazine issue right… aloooot of ppl didn’t know who she was b4 him… and y’all mention him so much just so that y’all can get the audience 👏🏾 lovemesomehim

Grimezsz Totally irrelevant to the article but just saying It’s weird how you can click on the replies or literally anything on Twitter and it’s 90% negative.. what’s wrong with people..

Grimezsz Who gives a f***

Grimezsz Sometimes I wish Twitter really had a dislike button.

Grimezsz JohnJCampbell DaRealAmberRose EsCampadares ONECampaign campararimu kgb TroyAve chosenvally shadow peta shadowpeach Pukeko65 govbrazil GovernmentRF NSAGov ENERGY mygovindia TwitterGov NYGovCuomo

Grimezsz I wish I came from money & then tried to fool the world into thinking im humble.

Grimezsz Who on earth calls the father of her children 'BRO'. Are you serious? Very infantile. Immature.

Someone else had posted that 'Ræl' means low quality, crap, or trash... So my interpretation is: 10¹⁸ * DarkSide Trash. The true child of a Sith Lord. Destined to be evil, but defeated by some random farmer's kid while monologuing like a self-important jackass.

Grimezsz She use to be cool but ya lost connection with this girl. She’s what she use to be against.

Grimezsz Side trash? Lol!

Grimezsz Grimes has two kids called X and Exa

Grimezsz for anyone else who wanted to use the article header image as their desktop background but could not because right click+save is disabled... KimDotcom Grimezsz

Grimezsz Introduce for PR her new album. ✌🏻👌🏻💯

Grimezsz

Grimezsz Vanity Fair's Devon Gordon COMPLETELY ignored that Grimes is an abused woman in denial & described Elon Musk as an abusive partner, not eccentric billionaire. 'Bro': ❌Made GRIMES live below poverty line (Musk travels via private jet) ❌Isolated Grimes in Austin away from LA

Manic_Marge Grimezsz So the jacket was like, anta-white.

Grimezsz elonmusk congrats on child

Grimezsz Grimes rose to fame as a very very rich girl who cosplayed as homeless while owning the rooming house she was bumming around in. She really did All the drugs though.

Grimezsz Miss you

Grimezsz Not much of a secret if it's in vanity fair.

Grimezsz Recall this tweet anyone?

Grimezsz model😏

Grimezsz You should not be thanking them for that awful picture...absolutely no excuse for that. hungovercavewoman

Grimezsz Sideræl... I am glad I did not drink something when I read this, so I avoided snorting. They did NOT consult a Norwegian before picking that name. 'Side-rubbish' or something like that....

Grimezsz Grimes is the person who will talk for hours and I will gladly listen. She speaks about interesting stuff and she is so honest about herself. She doesn’t hide anything except for the babies bec it’s privacy and very understandable

Grimezsz Wishing happiness to Exa 💜 Keep going. Art and Tech is a beautiful combo. Forget the labels ! I was a Solution Architect basically in tech social etc. Twitter celebrities put me down to fake news journalist. Yet I strive with humility 💫⬆️

Grimezsz Grimes must be a destiny 2 fan the way she naming these kids💀💀💀

Grimezsz 'Sideræl' translates to basically 'Shit you toss to the side'

congratulations!

Grimezsz Congratulations Grimes may your little baby be very cool ❤️

Grimezsz Whenever I feel sad, I can look at elon's girlfriend and zuck's-a-turd's fat hog wife and that makes Me happier because I don't have to sleep with either of them.

Grimezsz Great article & photos. She and Musk are far ahead of their time. I really hope they make it as a couple.

Grimezsz WHICH LOONA MEMBER IS THE GODMOTHER

Grimezsz Now, new crypto is created in the name of Elon's Daughter name. If Elon tweet her name then it will fly 🚀🚀🚀 EXA_DARK_SIDE Exa ExaDarkSiderael

Grimezsz Beautiful lady!!!

Grimezsz Grime will call in the same house & tells the story of 2nd child & wants to keep it secret at the same time. How just strain your brain cells. She is much more street smart than him.

Grimezsz What a disgusting company trying to fire an employee over a swindle such as that. Rachel deserved way better. I used to be proud of the vanity fair covers on my wall. I guess now I’ll be videotaping a mass burning.

Grimezsz I love the whole concept of Grimes as a person and will always remain a huge fan of her art and work but more than that - her as a person. Congratulations on Y and I wish you all the happiness in the world. You make me want to live on this planet more. Please be you^∞ forever.

Grimezsz “vanity unfair” is that magazine’s new name…after the HORRIBLY corrupt jews there were bribed by a billionaire to put his girlfriend on the cover

Grimezsz I was actually intrigued by this. thanks for sharing

Grimezsz Fell in love with Elon Musk!!!... she could have just said she fell in love with a vampire, but then again maybe she likes to have the blood and life sucked out of her 🤷‍♂️. Give it time, this tweet will age like wine!

Grimezsz That's child abuse, btw.

Grimezsz Obviously f’ing HORRIBLE when a billionaire bribes corrupt f’ing jews (devin gordon, etcetera) to buy his girlfriend’s way onto the cover of a magazine.

Grimezsz who is letting them name these kids 😭😭

Grimezsz Aaaaah BEST ARTICLE EVER!!!!! ! ! ! Stoked I love this news!!! Baby girl?! YES!!! ! ! ! Absolutely SO happy for their wonderful family together. Blessed Joy “Welcome, Beautiful Y, to the wonder of our time… enjoy, stellar-star, darling girl!”💖 elonmusk Grimezsz

Grimezsz

Grimezsz lidiazuin eu não aguentooooo

Grimezsz Then it’s no longer a secret eh? The whole world 🌎 knows now LOL 😂 CONGRATULATIONS!

Grimezsz No.

Grimezsz I love the whole concept of Grimes as a person and will always remain a huge fan of her art and work but more than that - her as a person. Congratulations on Y and I wish you all the happiness in the world. You make me want to live on this planet more. Please be you^∞ forever.

Grimezsz

Grimezsz Rich girl had no name and married for money and now ppl treat her as an artistic genius?

Grimezsz How much did musk pay some corrupt f’ing jewwws to get grimes on the cover of that mag?

Grimezsz congrats Grimes

Grimezsz Is techno feudalism when elonmusk + Grimezsz craft kooky unique children for the purpose of standing out in the rise of oligarchs?

Grimezsz Incredible read. I wish I could read about your life and the way you think every day. ♥️🧝‍♀️

Grimezsz “fiercely independent” aren’t her parents rich

Grimezsz ' Extra Dark Side Rail' - shaderoom comment 😃

Grimezsz I made $25k with crypto through the help of agentadamschiff

Grimezsz No one with a life of their own cares.

Grimezsz Stop stealing our letters goddammit! Sideræl .... Ræl means crap. Sidecrap?!

Grimezsz Can Russia sanction our Oligarchs? 🤔

Grimezsz Wow, great article

Grimezsz Congratulations to you and elonmusk may the force be with you 🚀

Grimezsz There is a war happening.

Grimezsz Congrats love ❤️❤️❤️

Grimezsz Ew

Grimezsz Dope

Grimezsz is there a point where grimes is going to realize she's nothing but a part of a billionaire's breeding program w/ a dude old enough to be her dad? or is she just surrounded by too many yes men like this writer?

Grimezsz 'She is well aware that many see Musk as some embodiment of luxurious excess, and Grimes is here to tell you she fuckin’ wishes.'

Grimezsz Thats a name only a celebrity could give their child if i ever heard one

Grimezsz How did both vanity fair and grimes think this puff piece was a good idea? Nothing like rich people talking about class experiences, revealing themselves as detached from material reality, at a time when the rest of us are being bled dry.

Grimezsz Watch those kids somehow turn out remarkably normal and well adjusted despite critic expectations. Elon + Grimes = everything in perfect balance.

Grimezsz The fact that y’all don’t know the difference between phased and fazed is at the bottom of the list of what is most embarrassing about this article.

Articles that do nothing but gush and try to “clear the air” are boring and disingenuous

Grimezsz congrats daddy elonmusk

Grimezsz 'The idea of the female Herodotus almost doesn’t exist.” ~Grimes ❤️

Grimezsz Why she name her baby after an ancient sith lord

Grimezsz 😎⚡🔥

Grimezsz LOL; she “rose to fame” as Elon Musk’s girlfriend, then baby mom. Before that she was an obscure YouTube performer.

Grimezsz Omg, I just read 'third' instead of 'second' child😳. The next one's coming soon!👼

Grimezsz no thanks

Grimezsz

Grimezsz I love her life I’m so glad it exists and someone gets to live it (anti envy take)

Grimezsz That fucking fool had a SECOND kid with him? Grossssssssss

Grimezsz 🖐️ Hi! Aneta here. This story reminded me of some relationship of friends who ended in pain for the whole world, too.

Grimezsz This is so good, thank you. I was at that florencemachine Grimezsz IAmKelseyLu show in Brooklyn, too. Had no idea that’s why Grimezsz stopped the show, sad to hear it, glad she’s persevered to accomplish so much 🧚👽🤍 fangirl

Grimezsz Congrats no the second child. Now queue all the haters with their inferiority complexes showing.

Grimezsz Well it isn’t a secret then, is it?

Grimezsz when is someone going to write a piece about these celebrity baby names being weird as fuck

Grimezsz Name “Exa” and “Why” explains it all. 😂 What the real truth is you may never know. 😄

Grimezsz Find it gross that the interviewer spoke to her about having to move all the time because of stalkers, but then gives specifics about where her new home is in the article.

Grimezsz If you read Sideræl in Norwegian, which is the natural way to read it since it has a Scandinavian letter in it, that name basically means 'side trash'

Grimezsz So they are calling their kid 'Side trash'?! 😅 Sideræl is Norwegian for 'side trash' Ræl = Trash, junk, something of low or no value or quality. Good choice, elonmusk and Grimezsz. Good fucking choice. 😂

Grimezsz This robot disses Elon Musk in a rap battle artificialintelligence Artificial_Intelligence Elon tesla AI funny humor hiphop rap robot starlink teslabot grimes cyberpunk cyber Bot spacex

Grimezsz It really makes me sad that Grimes doesn’t understand she’s dreaming all the right dreams but doing it before the whole world has even reached livable standards. Life on earth isn’t sustainable but you’re not the chosen one if you abandon people on earth for a New World.

Grimezsz Who cares about those non tax paying enablers. Shame on you? doesn’t this look like Elon? Just saying . Twinsies

Grimezsz The quote tweets really show that nobody will ever be happy for you no matter what you do. People somehow feel the need to judge another person's relationship without even knowing how those two actually feel.

Grimezsz she named the baby WHAT

Grimezsz she fell in 💰L💰O💰V💰E💰

Grimezsz HausofDuzzi

Grimezsz Am I the only one who never heard of her until she got pregnant by Musk?

Grimezsz Futurama?

Grimezsz White woman problems

Grimezsz Drivel. pure drivel.

Grimezsz Fabulous news!

Grimezsz grimes used to be a good artist.

Grimezsz I knew she was pregnant yay congrats Grimezsz

Grimezsz This is depressing as hell.

Grimezsz PEANUT BUTTER EIGHT days in a ROW omg poor thing!!!!!!

Grimezsz

Grimezsz Oh Vanity Fair. How sad. All of this so cringe and you fall for this ish- hook, line and sinker.

n acredit

Grimezsz She’s like…a parody of herself.

Grimezsz What in the subway sandwich is her kid’s name

Grimezsz My beautiful baby girl. Well Done Grimezsz

Grimezsz 'Secret'

They have a secret baby girl born when they separated homes - they had this going on this whole time - born via a surrogate.

Grimezsz Ew

TheWizardOfDoge Grimezsz She’s hot!🔥🔥

Grimezsz Congrats Grimezsz elonmusk ❤️✨🌱

Grimezsz Whoever designed this photoshoot, well done! I really like your use of light and shadow.

Grimezsz As much as I celebrated the rise of Grimezsz & respect elonmusk, his truly great accomplishments, many of which directly aid our species' slim chance to survive the hard future ahead, I don't gaf about baby-naming choices or suffering 8 days on peanut butter in a $40000 house!?

Grimezsz Talking about how she’s not living like a rich person yet her child was via surrogate aka Elon shelled out coin to some rando.

Grimezsz indeed. She nosedived into some pretentious labyrinth of narcissism and sub-cyber spiritualism since she met Il Muschio.

Grimezsz What a happy little world for them, I guess she likes rich, sadistic guys who don't care much about torturing animals, while some wealthy folks give millions to help stop animal suffering

Grimezsz Holy hell that’s cringeworthy.

Grimezsz She had ANOTHER kid with him? Ffs

Grimezsz I am glad she recognizes in retrospect her errors in getting involved with a sociopathic billionaire and his generational Apartheid wealth. I still don't care for her music, which is all that should matter to my opinion of a musician. Don't care about the celebrity narrative.

Grimezsz N tinha terminado com o Musk ? E mais um filho com nome bizarro para a conta, apesar q esse soa um pouco mais aceitável q o primeiro

rilaws Grimezsz I do like the cover.

GRIMESBRAZIL Grimezsz Siderael mano, SIDERAEL!;;!!!!

Grimezsz elonmusk

rilaws Grimezsz RETURN TO SENDER

Grimezsz R they making babies or Aliens?

Grimezsz ❤✨

Grimezsz Celebrities shouldn't be allowed to name their children
