How Grimes Pranked The Paparazzi After Split From Elon Musk

"Paparazzi followed me to a shoot so I tried to think what I could do that would yield the most Onion-ish possible headline," Grimes wrote on Twitter

Canadian singer Grimes was spotted reading a copy of Karl Marx's 'Communist Manifesto' after her split from Elon Musk, one of the world's richest men. Grimes (real name Claire Elise Boucher) was photographed on the streets of Los Angeles Friday dressed in a brown outfit, with a copy of the 1848 anti-capitalism manifesto in hand. However, she has now revealed that the book was nothing more than a ploy to trick the paparazzi and the media into putting "Elon Musk" and "Karl Marx" in the same headline. paparazzi followed me 2 a shoot so I tried 2 think what I could do that would yield the most onion-ish possible headline and it worked haha pic.twitter.com/9w8pPwIFAq

"Paparazzi followed me to a shoot so I tried to think what I could do that would yield the most Onion-ish possible headline," Grimes wrote on Twitter, sharing a photo of the article published by the New York Post after her pics went viral. "Grimes seen reading Karl Marx following split with world's richest man Elon Musk," the headline read.

The 33-year-old singer said her ploy "worked" as she shared a screenshot of the headline.
