Khalid made an unexpected admission this week, as he came out as gay after being outed.
On Friday (November 22), the singer made a series of posts to X in which he addressed his sexually, and talked about the reason for bringing it up now.

While Khalid did not specify who had outed him, the Daily Mailnoted that fellow singer Hugo D. Almonte had made a series of now-deleted posts where he said: “one of your favorite gay R&B singers suck my dick and it was really bad,” and then seemingly as a response to speculation over who he was talking about, posted a photo of him and Khalid together.
“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,” Almonte continued. “Why would I go to your house and do all that if I broke up with you[?] Bitch ass [ninja emoji] lied and said that I broke into his house cause I didn’t want him.”

Khalid’s latest release is the album Sincere, from this past August.
The project ends his five-year hiatus and showcases his growth. “I needed to take that break,” Khalid told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe prior to its release. “When I come back, I’ll come back with more clarity, more maturity, more knowledge.”
