On Saturday (December 28), Grimes took to social media to share that she’s getting into religion and Christianity “because it’s the only way I can quit vaping”, adding that “it is so monumentally embarrassing”.

She wrote: “I am more of a general deist/ feel like god is physics/ math / sees itself thru our eyes kinda vibe in terms of what I ‘actually think’ (the universe is also probably dead and empty except yeh idk prob not ngl).”

She continued: “but there really is something in here that at least speaks to me and what is strange is I never truly needed it until I had to stop myself from doing something destructive. I don’t usually have a drive that overrides my central nervous system that wants to do smthn as destructive as vaping (so so soooo lame).”

It is so monumentally embarrassing that I am finally getting into Christianity because it’s the only way I can quit vaping.

Grimes added that the notion of exploring religion is something completely new to her: “This has rly been sending me into a philosophical tailspin tho cuz I have never ever ever had my mind even remotely accessible to religion like I distinctly was extremely doubtful abt it in like grade 1 before I could even be introduced to the concept of doubting it. But I am realizing art in and of itself is possibly what god is. The story you tell yourself is very powerful.”

In a separate tweet, Grimes said she’s “too corrupt” to be a Catholic.

I’m too corrupt to be a catholic I fear

Grimes post on X (formerly Twitter) – which is owned by her former partner Elon Musk – comes just a day after she declared on social media that she wasn’t “dumped” by Musk.

Musk and Grimes have three children together – X Æ A-12, born in May 2020, Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, born via surrogate in December 2021, and Techno Mechanicus, known as Tau, born in late 2023. The two announced their split in September 2021, confirming that they had broken up after three years together but “still love each other”.

Tweeting in response to Banks, who had called out Grimes for publicly talking about her in a separate tweet, Grimes wrote that her prior comment was “just a funny joke bro” and that she wasn’t “trying to paint u as a villain.”

Banks had also tweeted about Grimes’ break-up with Musk, and the electronic pop artist addressed it: “i didn’t “get dumped”. I bounced. My amazing baby is asleep in my bed beside me, I’m in love. no regrets. Life is as beautiful as u want it to be.”

Last month, Grimes opened up about her custody battle with Musk over their children, and the ways in which it allegedly affected the time with them. Grimes wrote: “Having babies rips you apart and puts you back together. Babies are 10 thousand philosophy classes of shit [that] you can only learn from that experience.”

She continued: “Spent a year locked in battle in a state with terrible mothers rights, having my Instagram posts and modelling used as reasons I shouldn’t have my kids.”

Last year, the musician sued Musk over the custody rights to Tau, claiming that he wasn’t letting her visit him. Shortly after filing the lawsuit, Grimes seemed to suggest that Musk was preventing her from seeing the child. “Tell Elon to let me see my son or plz respond to my lawyer,” she wrote in a now-deleted tweet.
