Khalid is opening up about his sexuality — and making it clear that he’s happy with who he is. In a series of Twitter posts on Friday, the American Teen singer confirmed that he’s gay after being outed on the platform.

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

“I got outted and the world still continues to turn,” Khalid continued. “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 🖤.”

The posts came shortly after a Twitter user, Hugo Almonte, went on a posting rampage about the artists he’s had sex with, and wrote that “one of your favorite gay R&B singers” once offered him drugs and “tried to set me up and lie that I broke into his house.”

Almonte, whose own music has less than 750 monthly listeners, claimed that the “gay artists that are out right now” are “shitty as fuck.” He followed up the posts by sharing a photo with Khalid.

I was dating this dumb ass singer he’s ugly as fuck but he tried to set me up 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 dumb ass!

Bitch ass lied and said that I broke into his house cause I didn’t want him

Khalid has yet to respond to Almonte’s claims, but replied to one user who wrote that the “closet was glass.” Khalid’s response was graceful: “I wasn’t hiding anything! It’s just not any of your business.”

Khalid’s team and Almonte did not immediately respond to 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.

*****

While I agree with him that there's nothing to be ashemed of, I would make everyone in my inner-circle, including everyone that I hunch sign an NDA.

As for Hugo, his music is pretty decent, but if Khalid is ugly then why did he agree to date him? Is it because you thought Khalid would be able to advance your mid music career?
