In a series of now-deleted posts, Almonte revealed Khalid's sexuality in a move of reckless vindictiveness. It was an invasion of privacy that no one should have to endure.
Khalid responded with grace, tweeting, "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."
It's infuriating that instead of focusing on his talent, we're discussing his bedroom preferences because an ex, more likely than not a raging narcissistic liberal, decided it was his responsibility to tell the world that he and Khalid had previously been together.
“All of this is definitely frustrating,” Khalid said in a video shared to social media. “I’m not gonna run around like I’m unbothered. I never said I was unbothered by anything."
"This is very bothering … I had to say something.”
Khalid's music speaks for itself; his sexual orientation is nobody's business but his own. Let's get back to what matters: the beats, the lyrics, and the genuine art Khalid brings to the table, not the irrelevant soap opera of his personal life.
