Singer-songwriter Khalid opened up about his sexuality in a series of candid tweets in response to being "outed" by fellow musician Hugo D Almonte, who implied they'd been in a relationship.

Khalid shared a Pride flag emoji along with the following short and sweet message:


"there yall go. next topic please lol"

"I am! And that's okay."

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 from fellow 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.
