Khalid talks openly about his sexuality and makes it clear that he is happy with who he is. In a series of X-posts on Friday, the American teenager singer confirmed he is gay after coming out on the platform.

“🏳️‍🌈!!! there you go. next topic please lol,” the singer first wrote, using the LGBTQ flag, before responding to a fan to confirm“I’m (gay)! And that’s okay.”

“I got out and the world is still spinning,” Khalid continued. “Let’s get this straight (lmao) I’m not ashamed of my sexuality! In reality, it’s nobody’s business! But I’m doing well 🖤.”

The posts came shortly after an to lure him and lie that I broke into his house.”

Almonte, whose own music has fewer than 750 listeners per month, claimed that the “gay artists on the market now” are “assholes as fuck.” He followed up the messages by sharing a photo with Khalid.

Khalid has not yet responded to Almonte’s claims, but replied to a user who wrote that the “cabinet was made of glass.” Khalid’s response was graceful: “I wasn’t hiding anything! It’s just none of your business.”

Khalid and Almonte’s team did not immediately respond Rolling stone‘s request for comment.

The R&B star was quickly defended by fans and fellow gay artists, including producers MNEK and Amorphous, who condemned Almonte’s posts.

‘Thanks to your music you can barely afford a little something at Jack in the Box, and you’re under pressure to challenge someone who has three diamond records. You’re not all the same, girls,” Amorphous wrote on

“loser Loser LOSER LOSER behavior,” wrote pop-R&B producer MNEK.
