Popular singer Khalid has come out as gay after being outed on social media.
The 26-year-old El Paso native - born Khalid Donnel Robinson - took to X (formally Twitter) on Friday evening to address his sexuality hours after a Star Wars actress also came out.
He posted a short tweet which read: '[LGBTQIA+ pride flag]!!! there yall go. next topic please lol.'
'Wait hope Mr Khalid isn't GEHHH!' someone replied to which the singer reposted and wrote: 'I am! And that's okay.'
The lovely hitmaker was not done speaking his truth as he continued on the microblogging site.
He wrote: 'I got outted [sic] and the world still continues to turn. Let’s get this straight (lmao) I am not ashamed of my sexuality!

Khalid reposted and responded by writing: 'I wasn’t hiding anything! It’s just not any of your business.'
A different fan shared a snipped of the singer dancing in the music video for his track Satellite.
The follower captioned it: 'Then there was the LGBTQ anthem he gave us in 2022 but ya’ll kinda slept. Either way.. hate that Khalid was forced out but he wasn’t "hiding" it. He just didn’t need to TELL nobody.'
Khalid appreciated what his fan had to say as he reposted it with caption: 'thank you!!!! I was never hiding.'
