Ayumi Hamasaki: "Elon Musk Is Not The Father Of My Kids"

We never thought there would be a day we'd see Japan's 'Empress of Pop' Ayumi Hamasaki and the world's wealthiest man Elon Musk make the same headlines, but here we are. 

Elon's ex-girlfriend Ashley St. Clair, 26, who reportedly fell out with the billionaire after giving birth to their son, Romulus, last September, recently claimed in an interview that the 53-year-old donates his sperm to create "an army of babies". 

FYI: Elon has already fathered 14 children — that the public knows of — with four different women. 

According to Ashley, one of the recipients of Elon's sperm is a "famous Japanese star".

While some netizens are saying it's Japanese TV personality Tenka Hashimoto, others are pointing fingers at 46-year-old Japanese pop diva Ayumi Hamasaki. 

The J-pop star has two children, who are six and four. However, Ayumi has remained tight-lipped about who their father is.

Ayumi wasted no time in quashing the rumours that her baby daddy is Elon.

She wrote in an Instagram story: "I've been audience to [what's going on], but it's about time I speak up right?"

"Elon Musk is not the father of my kids," she asserted. 

In a separate IG story, Ayumi also added that after seeing the news, her mother also jokingly told her: "It looks like they are talking about you."

Ayumi said she understands the speculation but found a need to rubbish the rumours. 

"My own reputation aside, I will not accept it if my kids are affected in any way. And that's why I see the need to properly deny the rumours," she wrote. 

Ayumi will be in town on July 5 for the Singapore leg of her Asia Tour at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. Who knows, maybe her kids and her mysterious baby daddy will be in the audience too?
