Grammy-nominated singer Khalid, renowned for tracks like “Location” and “Young Dumb & Broke,” recently confirmed his sexuality as gay after being outed on social media.

On X (formerly Twitter), the 26-year-old artist engaged in a series of frank posts about self-acceptance and the importance of privacy.

Following speculation by a user about his orientation, Khalid responded affirmatively, “I am! And that’s okay.” He added, “I got outed 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 y’all.”

Fans quickly showed their support, appreciating his openness and noting his contributions to the LGBTQ+ community. One fan recalled, “Then there was the LGBTQ anthem he gave us in 2022 but y’all kinda slept. Either way… hate that Khalid was forced out, but he wasn’t ‘hiding’ it.” Khalid acknowledged the support, stating, “Thank you! I was never hiding.”

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 nobodies business! But I am okay with me 🖤 love yall

— Khalid (@thegreatkhalid) November 23, 2024

Another fan emphasized the irrelevance of his sexual orientation to his musical talent, to which Khalid humorously replied, “Aight love y’all. Thank y’all. I’m off this.”

The acknowledgement followed a controversial claim by artist Hugo D. Almonte, who alleged a personal relationship with Khalid and accused him of dishonesty. Almonte’s post included a selfie with Khalid, sparking further online debate. Despite the controversy, Khalid focused on his empowerment rather than the surrounding drama.

Khalid’s candidness about his sexuality underscores his authenticity both as an artist and an individual. His handling of the situation has affirmed his integrity and inspired his fans globally. His journey underscores the importance of respecting individual privacy while celebrating personal truth.

Khalid’s representatives have not commented on the matter, but his stance is clear: “I wasn’t hiding anything! It’s just not any of your business.”
