Grammy-nominated R&B sensation Khalid has officially opened up about his sexuality, addressing fans directly after claims that he was outed by another artist surfaced online.
The artist took to X (formerly Twitter) on Friday night, signaling his announcement with a simple yet powerful gesture—a rainbow flag emoji—accompanied by the words, “there yall go. next topic please lol.”
The tweet came after a wave of online speculation, sparked by singer Hugo D. Almonte, who reportedly posted a series of since-deleted messages seemingly outing Khalid.
Fans were quick to respond, leading the “Location” singer to make things crystal clear. When one user tweeted, “Wait, hope Mr. Khalid isn’t GEHHH!” Khalid quote-tweeted with a definitive reply: “I am! And, that’s okay.”
Khalid addressed the situation further in a series of heartfelt posts. He wrote, “I got outted and the world still continues to turn. Let’s get this straight (lmao): I am not ashamed of my sexuality! In reality, it ain’t nobody’s business! But I am okay with me. love yall.”
While Khalid acknowledged that the situation wasn’t on his terms, he emphasized that he had nothing to hide. “I wasn’t hiding anything! It’s just not any of your business,” he added, speaking to his fans and critics alike with unflinching honesty.
Khalid’s transparency resonated with fans, with many flooding his posts with messages of love and support.
As the artist himself said, “Love y’all”… and it’s clear that love is being returned in spades.
