It’s been a wild week in Elon Musk's world. Just when you think the billionaire couldn’t get more unpredictable, new claims from an ex-girlfriend dropped like a bombshell. Conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair, who recently had Musk’s child, said the tech mogul had offered his sperm to “anyone who wanted to have a child.” And apparently, one of those “anyones” might’ve been a Japanese pop star. That part got the internet spiralling fast, and now, one of Japan’s biggest music icons has stepped up to set the record straight.
How did it all start?It all began thanks to Ashley St. Clair’s interview with The New York Times, where she aired some messy revelations about Musk. She claimed he cheated on her after saying he was single and revealed that he believed in “repopulating the Earth” to the point where he casually offered sperm to friends, fans, and even celebrities.
In the same interview, she said he fathered a child with a Japanese pop star. Musk has been linked to many models and celebrities around the globe, but this J-pop idol was unheard of, and naturally, the revelation sent people online into full detective mode, guessing who the mystery mom might be.
J-pop legend Hamasaki Ayumi sets the record straightFans were quick to speculate that the unnamed pop star might be Hamasaki Ayumi, Japan’s long-reigning “Queen of J-pop.” She has two children, and since the father’s identity has never been made public, with past rumours suggesting he might be a white man, the assumptions started to build.
But Ayumi took to Instagram to clear things up, writing, “My child’s father is not Elon Musk.” She acknowledged that she understood why people might think it was her—her own mother even joked about it—but she wanted to set the record straight. “Different is different,” she wrote, explaining that she didn’t want her kids coming across these kinds of stories online and thinking they were true.

For those who don’t know, Hamasaki Ayumi is J-pop royalty. She debuted back in 1998 and quickly climbed to the top of the charts with her album A Song for ××. She’s been setting records ever since and has a massive following in Japan and across Asia. Now 46, she’s still active and still selling out arenas. In fact, she has a concert coming up at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on July 5—her first solo show in the country.

Ayumi is very active on social media, where she shares bits of her glamorous pop star life with her 1.4 million followers. She regularly engages with fans through Q&As and is known for her cheerful, upbeat presence online. However, when it comes to her personal life—especially her children—she tends to keep things private.
