Popular singer Khalid has come out as gay after being exposed on social media.
The 26-year-old El Paso resident – born Khalid Donnel Robinson – took to X (formally Twitter) on Friday evening to discuss his sexuality, hours after a Star Wars actress also came out of the closet.
He posted a short tweet saying: ‘[LGBTQIA+ pride flag]!!! there you go. next topic please lol.”
“Just wait, hope Mr. Khalid isn’t GEHHH!” someone replied to which the singer reposted, writing, “I am! And that’s okay.’
The beautiful hitmaker wasn’t done speaking his truth as he continued on the microblogging site.
He wrote: ‘I got out [sic] and the world still keeps turning. Let’s get this straight (lmao) I’m not ashamed of my sexuality!

“In reality, they’re not nobodies [sic] company! But I’m doing fine [black heart emoji] love you guys.”
He remained active on the site, while another commenter wrote: ‘the case was glass, honey. but we accept you. It’s not about who you like, it’s about your artistry! [white heart emoji]’
Khalid posted again and responded by writing, “I wasn’t hiding anything! It’s just none of your business.’
Another fan shared a clip of the singer dancing in the music video for his song Satellite.
The follower wrote: ‘Then there was the LGBTQ song he gave us in 2022 but y’all will sleep a little. Anyway… hate that Khalid was forced to leave, but he didn’t “hide” it. He just didn’t have to TELL anyone.’
Khalid appreciated what his fan had to say when he reposted it with the caption, “thank you!!!! I never hid.”
He concluded his eventful evening on the site with the words: ‘Aight love yall, thank you, I’m done with it [peace hand sign emoji]’
The outing the R&B hitmaker appears to be referring to was a pair of posts from fellow artist Hugo D Almonte.

The 28-year-old singer raised eyebrows about X earlier today, writing, “one of your favorite gay R&B singers sucks my dick and it really sucked.”
Hugo didn’t stop there and continued: ‘I was dating this stupid singer, he’s ugly as f*** but he tried to trap me and lie and say I broke into his house because I broke up with him, like why would I go to your house and do all that if I broke up with you, you stupid bastard!’
The posts had many people guessing who he could be referring to in his comments, while many suspected he was talking about Khalid.

Then the Dominican American rapper and singer seemingly confirmed the suspicions of many and lashed out at Khaled as he posted a selfie of them cuddling together. He wrote: ‘B**** a** [ninja emoji] lied and said I broke into his house because I didn’t want him.”
