Khalid added, "There y'all go, next topic please lol."

The user's tweet caught the attention of Khalid, who responded, "I am! And that's okay."

Khalid followed a separate post, expressing that he was unaffected by the netizen's "outing" of his sexuality and that he wasn't 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 y'all."

Khalid's tweets have gone viral on social media, as fans continued to pour out their support to him and called out the netizen's remark that forced the singer to come out of the closet.
