Samuel Long aka internet musician Sophie died after falling off a roof in Jan 2021. Shortly after, his girlfriend went on a rant on twitter saying that while he'd started off using the Sophie name as an artistic persona, he'd had to invent the matching trans identity and go public after getting called out by Grimes in 2015 in an interview, and that he should be recognised for who he really was in death. Then the tweets were deleted and she resurfaced back on board with the narrative; I've always assumed she was paid off by Grimes, as Grimes had to support Sophie's career after Sophie came out as mtf, and apparently tried to get Sophie a grammy after death, as well.

Sophie comes out as Trans
Grimes complains about not being allowed to nominate Sophie for a grammy
Did anyone archive the tweet rant from the GF?
Original interview comment:
from here. Archive“It’s really fucked up to call yourself SOPHIE and pretend you’re a girl when you’re a male producer [and] there are so few female producers…I think it’s really good music. I probably shouldn’t have said that.”
