Khalid talks candidly about his sexuality.

The “Talk” singer, 26, came out as gay in a series of tweets on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, November 22.

He first posted a rainbow emoji with a series of exclamation points and wrote, “There y’all go. Next topic please lol.”

In a follow-up tweet, he confirmed his sexuality by replying to a fan who wrote, “Wait, I hope Mr. Khalid isn’t GEHHH!”

“I am!” Khalid wrote in response. “And that’s okay.”

In a third tweet, the “Favorite Song” singer said he is “not ashamed” of his sexuality after saying he was out.

“I’m out (sic) and the world still keeps spinning,” Khalid wrote. “Let’s get this straight (lmao). I’m not ashamed of my sexuality! In reality, it’s no one’s business! But I’m okay with it, I love you guys.”

PEOPLE contacted a representative for Khalid for comment.

In additional tweets, Khalid clarified that he had never “hidden” his sexuality.

One social media user wrote: “The case was glass, honey. But we accept you. It’s not about who you like, it’s about your artistry!”

Khalid replied, “I wasn’t hiding anything! It’s just none of your business.’

The Grammy-nominated singer echoed a similar sentiment when a fan said he had released an “LGBTQ anthem” with his 2022 song “Satellite,” noting that Khalid “didn’t ‘hide’ his sexuality.”

“Thank you!!!!” Khalid wrote, adding, “I never hid.”

In August, Khalid released his third studio album, Honestly. It debuted in the top 10 of Billboard’s Top R&B Albums chart in its first week.
