Who is Hamasaki Ayumi? Japanese pop legend and single mom of two responds to rumors linking her to Elon Musk¡¯s secret child
Hamasaki Ayumi, Japan¡¯s pop icon, has publicly denied rumors that Elon Musk fathered one of her children after speculation arose from comments made by his ex, Ashley St. Clair. The singer clarified her stance on Instagram, stating she wanted to protect her kids from false online stories.
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.

Fans 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¡ªher own mother even joked about it¡ªbut 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.
