Elon Musk's baby mama Grimes released a music video after parting ways with her tech billionaire ex, giving fans a look at what's going on behind the scenes in her new song following the announcement of their split.
She told her followers on Instagram she made the video titled Love in response to "bad press" and the "online hate" she experienced after the breakup news broke.
In the video, fans can see the 33-year-old musician wearing a sheer beige top and donning a messy braided platinum hair with metal chains and rings scattered throughout her locks.
Grimes made the shot looking more dramatic using a toy lightsaber illuminating herself with a red tube. She also added a white sheet hanging over her head and a string fan off-camera that blew it about over her head.
She clarified in the caption that she "wrote and produced" the song in retaliation to all the "privacy invasion, bad press, online hate and harassment by paparazzi" she faced following her split with Musk.
Grimes, whose original name is Claire Boucher, wrote the words from her lyrics to highlight the struggles she was going through and the outcome of her being a public figure.
Part of the lyrics read, "It f----ing sucks to be awake, Oh Lord I pray my soul to take, understands because everything they hate is everything I love."
