In a follow-up tweet, Khalid shared why he felt the need to address his sexuality:

"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 [heart emoji] love yall."

He was also quick to point out in a response to another follower that he "wasn't hiding anything" but that his sexuality is "just not any of your business."

Khalid later spoke to Vulture about his decision to publicly speak about his sexuality, saying his tweets were a response to now-deleted tweets fromfellow singer Hugo D Almonte, who implied he and Khalid had been in a relationship at one point.

Almonte allegedly posted on X that he had ended things with a “dumb ass singer” who had falsely accused him of breaking into their home.

The situation intensified when Almonte, in another since-deleted tweet, shared a photo of himself with Khalid, captioned: “Bitch ass lied and said that I broke into his house cause I didn’t want him.”

In his own remarks to Vulture, Almonte claimed he “never” meant to “out someone who’s clearly been out already in the community in Los Angeles.” Almonte said his “intentions” were to “share my story and share how [Khalid] tried to use his power to silence me because I simply ended our relationship, he was afraid of what I might say.”

Many have praised Khalid for coming out regardless of the circumstances.


Khalid's third album, the critically acclaimed Sincere, was released earlier this year.

State Department Slammed After Requiring Visa Applicants To Make All Social Media Posts Public For Vetting

The State Department is facing harsh criticism after it announced that anyone applying for an F, M, or J nonimmigrant visa will need to disclose all social media profiles from the last five years, requiring that all applicants set their posts to public so they can be properly vetted by its agents.

The agency said the new rules are part of a new screening process aimed at identifying individuals who may pose a threat to U.S. national security. According to the department, failure to comply could result in a denial, and consular officers have been instructed to flag signs of “hostility” toward the U.S.—though the criteria for such determinations remain vague.
