Khalid, sweetheart, you must not be ashamed!
Pop powerhouse Khalid has sashayed into the spotlight with his truth, darling, and we’re absolutely living for it! The “Young, Dumb & Broke” crooner has officially come out as gay, following a rather messy outing situation. Instead of shrinking into the shadows, Khalid has snatched back the narrative and served up a bold declaration: “I am not ashamed.”
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

After facing the grim reality of being outed against his will, the 26-year-old star turned a potentially crushing moment into an opportunity to live unapologetically. “For a while, I felt like my life wasn’t my own,” Khalid shared. “But now, I’ve chosen to own it.” And babes, what a moment of empowerment it was.
From Pop Icon to Queer Trailblazer
Already a household name with hits like “Location” and “Talk”, Khalid’s decision to share his sexuality has cemented him as more than a voice of a generation—he’s now a bona fide queer icon. The singer hinted that his newfound freedom will fuel his next musical chapter, teasing, “Music is how I process everything. You’ll hear it all in my next album.”

Owning the Stage and His Story
