Pop-R&B sensation Khalid recently took to social media to address his sexuality in an honest and heartfelt manner, following an incident that seemingly forced his hand. It began when R&B artist Hugo D. Almonte, in a series of now-deleted tweets, appeared to out Khalid by sharing a photo of them together and a dramatic claim about their past relationship. In response, Khalid posted a rainbow emoji on X, accompanied by the cheeky caption, “there y’all go. Next topic please lol.”
When fans expressed surprise, Khalid doubled down, writing, “I am! And that’s okay.” He later followed up with a longer message, reflecting on the situation with resilience and humor. “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.”
Khalid also addressed comments about “hiding” his truth, firmly stating, “I wasn’t hiding anything! It’s just not any of your business.” He even referenced his music, noting that his artistry has always been an open window into his identity.
Khalid’s unapologetic embrace of his truth has sparked important conversations around respect, privacy, and the freedom to own one’s narrative. #Khalid #Authenticity #LGBTQ
