Grimes reveals she was trolling paparazzi with The Communist Manifesto

04 October 2021, 10:26 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Over the weekend images of Grimes reading The Communist Manifesto made the rounds online, and Grimes has revealed that she was trolling the paparazzi, who "wouldn’t stop following me this wk".

Last month Elon Musk revealed to Page Six that he and Grimes are "semi-separated but still love each other, see each other frequently and are on great terms". They spent three years together and have a son called X Æ A-Xii.

Grimes uploaded a song via Instagram called "LOVE" last week, responding "to all the privacy invasion, bad press, online hate and harassment by paparazzis I’ve experienced this week."

Over the weekend Grimes decided to troll paparazzi following her by reading The Communist Manifesto. She shared one of the images on Instagram, writing, "I was really stressed when paparazzi wouldn’t stop following me this wk but then I realized it was opportunity to troll .. i swear this headline omg wtf haha im dead."

"Full disclosure I’m still living with e and I am not a communist (although there are some very smart ideas in this book -but personally I’m more interested in a radical decentralized ubi that I think could potentially be achieved thru crypto and gaming but I haven’t ironed that idea out enough yet to explain it," Grimes continued. "Regardless my opinions on politics are difficult to describe because the political systems that inspire me the most have not yet been implemented)."

She added, "Anyway if paparazzi keep chasing me perhaps I will try to think of more ways to meme - suggestions welcome!"

Last month Grimes gave an update on her new album, revealing she's "finishing" it and thinks it's "by far my greatest work that I've ever done".

In July Grimes revealed her follow-up to last year's Miss Anthropocene album is a "space opera" that results in a lesbian AI romance.
