Grimes has admitted to deliberately trolling paparazzi in the wake of her split from multi-billionaire Elon Musk.
Pictures of the singer, 33, went viral when she was photographed reading The Communist Manifesto.
After Page Six published the photos under the headline “Grimes seen reading Karl Marx following split with world’s richest man”, Grimes said she staged the pics to “yield the most onion-ish possible headline”.
She wrote on Instagram: “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 [sic].”
