J-Pop Star Ayumi Hamasaki Denies Elon Musk Paternity Claims

Japanese pop star Ayumi Hamasaki has firmly denied rumors that Elon Musk is the father of her two sons, responding publicly after claims by Ashley St. Clair, one of Musk's partners, who suggested Musk fathered a child with a Japanese pop star. Hamasaki, known as the “Empress of J-Pop,” clarified that while she understands why people might suspect her due to her public image and the secrecy around her children’s fathers, Musk is not involved. The speculation began after St. Clair told The New York Times that Musk had fathered children worldwide and was willing to donate sperm altruistically, including to a high-profile Japanese woman. Text messages reviewed by The Wall Street Journal revealed Musk discussed meeting with Japanese officials about sperm donation for a prominent woman, but no romance was involved. Hamasaki expressed concern about the impact of these rumors on her children when they grow up and search for information online. Despite social media and J-Pop forums fueling the speculation, Hamasaki’s denial remains clear and unequivocal.
