Singer Khalid Comes Out as Gay After Social Media ‘Outing’

Singer Khalid has publicly come out as gay after feeling he was outed on social media. The R&B star reassured his fans in a post on X that he is proud of his sexuality, stating, “I am not ashamed of my sexuality!” The 26-year-old artist, originally from Texas, shared a post with a rainbow flag emoji, followed by a light-hearted comment: “There yall go. next topic please lol.”

Responding to a fan’s concerns, Khalid confirmed his sexuality by saying, “I am! And that’s okay.” He further addressed the issue in another post, emphasizing, “I am not ashamed of my sexuality! In reality it ain’t nobodies business! But I am okay with me [black heart emoji] love yall.”

Supportive fans flooded Khalid’s social media with messages of love and acceptance. One fan expressed, “Sending you all the love! you are safe here,” while another acknowledged, “But you should’ve been able to tell the world on your own time. I’m sorry people are clout chasers.”

Although Khalid did not explicitly mention who had outed him, speculation arose from deleted posts by singer Hugo D Almonte. Almonte seemingly confirmed the speculation by sharing a photo of himself and Khalid together.

Khalid, known for hits like “Location” and his album “American Teen,” recently released his third studio album, “Sincere,” to critical acclaim. His openness about his sexuality has been met with widespread support from fans and the music industry.

In a final post, Khalid expressed his gratitude and bid farewell to the topic, stating, “aight love yall thank yall I’m off this,” accompanied by a peace hand sign emoji.

Khalid’s brave decision to share his truth with the world has sparked important conversations about LGBTQ+ representation in the music industry and the importance of living authentically.

This story highlights Khalid’s courage and authenticity as he embraces his true self and continues to inspire others with his music and personal journey.
