Grimes has said she wishes there was “a less toxic vibe” to certain sections of her fanbase online.The Canadian musician – real name Claire Boucher – has given an interview with Time in which she has opened up about her relationship with her fans, where she isolated Reddit users as the primary problematic element.“Just the Reddit.

Everyone else is fine,” she said. “Honestly, the angrier they get, the more my streaming goes up. So I suppose it’s fine, but I would definitely appreciate a less toxic vibe in the fan base.”She continued that she feels it adds to the pressure to produce new music. “That’s where I have to rush music out: they always chill out when there’s music,” she said. “I just need to give them some art.”Grimes was eager to clarify that most fans are “usually coming from the right place”, adding: “I do think social media really incentivises people worrying that other people are evil.

And in general, I think everyone across the board is worrying too much that other people are evil, and probably only like 10% of people are evil.”The comments follow on from Grimes asked people to stop sharing images of her four-year-old son online after his appearance at the White House with his father Elon Musk.“I would really like people to stop posting images of my kid everywhere.

I think fame is something you should consent to,” she said. “Obviously, things will just be what they are. But I would really, really appreciate that.
