Khalid Slams Former Fan Who Says They Stopped Listening To His Music After He Came Out: ‘That’s Gayer Than Just Listening’

Khalid isn’t losing sleep behind the fans he lost after coming out.

Over the weekend, a former fan of the 7x Grammy-nominated artist quote replied to a selfie shared by Khalid on X and wrote,

“Stopped listening to his songs [throw up emoji]”

Explaining why he backed away from Khalid in the comments, the user alluded that it had to do with the 26-year-old’s sexuality. As reported, in November 2024, Khalid was forced to come out of the closet after being outed by an ex.

Responding to his former supporter, Khalid said,

“that’s gayer than just listening to the music bc now you avoiding thoughts and sh*t, humming my music on the low mad at yourself bc you really fw it fr”

Interacting with his actual fans in a series of follow-up posts, he continued,

“I don’t even use pronouns in my songs more than half of the time, so the song can be about whoever you think it is/relate to at the end of the day”

And added,

“my next album is way more queer than anything lol but they’ll be aiiight”
