One of the things women look forward to most about motherhood is the first time their child says the word,"Mom."
Well, everyone except singer Grimes. The 33-year-old recently revealed in an interview with Vogue that she's on a first-name basis with her son, X Æ A-XII.
We wonder what Grime's boyfriend and baby daddy, Elon Musk, thinks about this...
I mean, they called their son, X Æ A-XII, for crying out loud!
At first, people thought that the SpaceX founder and CEO and the pop singer were joking.
Grimes tweeted a full breakdown of the meaning behind their baby's unusual name which really drove home the fact that this was the real name.
"X, the unknown variable." she began.
"No weapons, no defenses, just speed. Great in battle, but non-violent; + (A=Archangel, my favorite song) (metal rat)," she wrote. Ah, that explains it.
While on Joe Rogan's podcast, Musk explained that the pronunciation of their son's name is X Ash A Twelve."
Another time Grimes tweeted that, "Having a baby is like the dark souls of tamagotchi."
Given this strange behavior from both of them, it's clear to see why they're perfect for each other!
Back in 2020, the Tesla CEO stirred up controversy on Twitter for writing, "pronouns suck."
This refers to people who use them to describe themselves in their online bios on social media. You'll often see "she/he" or "them/they."
It also upset Grimes who called him out in a series of now-deleted tweets.
"I cannot support hate. Please stop this. I know this isn't your heart."
While people tore Elon apart, many rallied behind Grimes and were grateful to them.
"Pretty disgusting to see from you. What's so hard about calling someone a pronoun?" a user wrote.
Needless to say, in this case, they had made headlines for all the wrong reasons.
"you are literally the last person who can reasonably complain about this after naming your kid xanax 12," a third added.
Grimes, whose real name is Claire Bouche, said that she and Elon's son refers to her by her first name only.
This was all in a Vogue video documenting her getting ready for Monday's Met Gala she discussed everything motherhood meant to her personally and artistically.
"He says Claire, but he doesn’t say Mama," Boucher continued, referring to her son.
"Maybe he like, can sense my distaste for the word 'mother.' Which, I don’t even know why I have a distaste for it, because I respect…"
And what do I say to that? I say to each their own.
In the same video, Grimes discussed motherhood and how it helped her artistically.
