Khalid didn’t hold back, quote-tweeting the comment with, “I am! And, that’s okay.”

He later elaborated, telling fans, “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. love yall.”

Fans in the comments rallied behind the “Location” singer, with many pointing out hints from his music, especially his 2022 track “Satellite,” which some have long called an LGBTQ+ anthem. Khalid confirmed the connection, saying, “I wasn’t hiding anything! It’s just not any of your business.”

Despite the drama surrounding his outing, Khalid is standing tall and owning his truth, reminding fans that his journey is his to navigate.
