Grimes has returned to TikTok with a bizarre video in which she compares herself to guillotined French queen Marie Antoinette.
In her first post on the platform since September, the singer and online personality - whose real name is Claire Boucher - said she had become a "Marie Antoinette-esque symbol for inequality in the pop stan community."
She also spoke about her online reputation, being dragged into "literal geopolitical scandals" and her hopes for a utopian society in the video titled "back on the internet #sigh."
'I've developed severe PTSD from public life, which maybe everyone can kinda relate to right now," she says in the video.
“Cancellations aside, I’ve been dragged into literal geopolitical scandals,” she continued, explaining that friends have leaked her personal information online and claiming stalkers showed up at her house when she was eight months pregnant with X Æ A-Xii, the son she shares with ex Elon Musk.
She went on to say she had been "dragged into conspiracy theories about resource extraction and somehow ended up as a kind of Marie Antoinette-esque symbol for inequality in the pop stan community, which frankly is fairly entertaining and I'm not mad at."
This TikTok is not the first time Grimes has drawn comparisons between herself and the French queen, who was guillotined during the French Revolution in 1793.
In 2015, she dressed up as Marie Antoinette for her music video of 'Flesh Without Blood/Life in the Vivid Dream'.
Since splitting with Musk - the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX - in September, Grime's has been on a brief online hiatus. She explained later in the TikTok video how she had developed "debilitating anxiety about being online," but that she hoped to speak more openly about her personal ideas online going forwards.
"Fear is the mind-killer, first of all," said the singer, quoting Frank Herbert's Dune. "If I'm gonna succumb to my own personal anxieties, then what am I showing my kid, right?"
She then gave her thoughts on achieving a "radical utopia" adding "if you think I'm too privileged to be thinking about these ideas or speaking about these ideas, then I would love nothing more than for everybody else to join me out here and literally prove me wrong..."
