On June 2nd, Ayumi Hamasaki, a well-known Japanese singer, posted on her personal Instagram account to respond to rumors circulating in the public, denying that the father of her child is Elon Musk, the American tech tycoon.
In the post, Hamasaki said, "Although I have been just observing how things developed, it's about time for me to say something... The father of my child is not Mr. Elon Musk."
Hamasaki then joked, "I can understand it too. It does feel like something that could happen to me (laugh). Even my mom laughed and said this news looks like it's talking about Ayu (Hamasaki's nickname). Honestly, if I were an outsider, I might also say 'Isn't this Ayumi Hamasaki?' (laugh)."
However, she emphasized afterward, "But no, it's just not true. Not only for my own image, but also because it would be terrible if my child finds out such information when they grow up. Therefore, I want to clearly deny this here."
Hamasaki had to specifically deny that the father of her child was Musk because on May 31st, The New York Times cited爆料 from Musk's former girlfriend, stating that Musk "has a son with a Japanese pop singer." As an iconic figure in the Asian music industry and a top star in Japan, Hamasaki's private life has drawn much attention. She announced her childbirth in 2020 and 2021 respectively without revealing the identity of the father, leading many netizens to suspect after seeing the爆料 from The New York Times that the father of her child might be Musk.
