“For context, I'm just living my life. He followed me, then blocked me.  I'm not gna [gonna] be following and unfollowing.  My only priority is co-parenting, I am not interested in public dramatics.  This is so silly lol,” she wrote.

Since their separation, Grimes and Musk have butted heads over their children, failing to see eye to eye on several key parenting issues. 

In March, the singer revealed that she had tirelessly pleaded with her ex-lover to stop parading their children on social media, but her pleas fell on deaf ears. 

“I unfortunately do not control the internet and cannot wipe this from the internet. I have tried begging the public and my kids' dad to keep them offline, and I've tried legal recourse," she wrote, per The Blast.

Grimes acknowledged that the issue has caused her great distress because putting her children’s lives out there is of “grave concern” to her. As such, she has tried to come up with a solution, to no avail.

“It's insane to me that there's no way to deal with this. I would hope there was some law that would allow a parent to veto small children from living public lives, but I don't even trust the law to help me now if I tried to invoke it [to be honest],” she added.
