When another follower wrote: “the closet was glass baby. but we accept you. its not about who you love its about your artistry! [white heart emoji],” he reposted the comment and wrote: “I wasn’t hiding anything! It’s just not any of your business.”
A different fan shared a clip of Khalid dancing in the music video for his track ‘Satellite’ with the caption: “Then there was the LGBTQ anthem he gave us in 2022 but ya’ll kinda slept.

Khalid reposted the message and wrote: “thank you!!!! I was never hiding.”
He added: “aight love yall thank yall I’m off this.”
