Just last week, the musician issued a statement responding to her ex Elon Musk's extremely problematic "salute" at US President Donald Trump's inauguration, which some compared to a Nazi salute.

Last night, Grimes took to Twitter (no, I'm not calling it X) and addressed the issue of Nazism yet again — this time within her own fanbase.

"I'd like to address a certain toxicity in the Grimes fandom," she wrote, claiming that "persistent trolls on Reddit have been pushing this white supremacy/ Nazi thing...for a few years now." She also claimed that Reddit hasn't responded to her requests on how to deal with the situation.

"If it wasn't clear - ****I very much denounce Nazi-ism and white supremacy*****," she also wrote. "I am sorry I didn't take this more seriously sooner, I did not realize the extent of the issue. But it has come to my attention from some of yall that this has been creating a lot of trouble."

Grimes went on to claim that the same accounts pushing said agenda on Reddit "have been stalking and harassing friends and family of mine" and "calling workplaces of non white friends and trying to get them fired for being supposed nazis."

"For years Reddit has refused to address this," she said. "But also my bad for not realizing it was a bigger issue for the rest of you as well. I am truly sorry."

Grimes also wrote that she's "sad at the division in the world rn" and "rly sorry anyone who has had to see super toxic negative things in the grimes fandom on my behalf."

"I am sorry to the few fans who I also know have been harassed in this way as well. If u report accounts to me that are harassing people or creating problems I will work harder to deal with it."

OK! For her sake as well as for the common good, I hope we can make it an entire week without having to write "Grimes" and "Nazism" in the same story. We'll see...
