Khalid: A die-hard BTS fan just came out as gay, 26 years old, won 6 Billboard awards

Last November, Khalid shocked the public when he suddenly announced that he was gay. This decision of the male singer also received many mixed opinions.

Khalid, full name Khalid Donnel Robinson, born in 1998, is no longer a strange name to R&B music lovers. He is not only famous for his emotional voice but also for his ability to compose and connect with audiences through songs that are full of his personal touch. With a unique musical style combining R&B, pop, and soul, the 9x guy quickly asserted his position in the global music scene.

Khalid grew up in a military family and traveled frequently with his mother, who worked in the US military and was also an amateur singer. She inspired him with her love of music from an early age.

Khalid began writing music during his high school years in El Paso, Texas, where his experiences of friendship, love, and youth became the main inspiration for his music. His big break came in July 2016 when he released his debut single "Location" as a singer-songwriter.

The song quickly went viral on music platforms and "landed" at number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Not stopping there, this debut single also achieved Platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), bringing Khalid's name closer to international audiences and creating the premise for his music career.

In March 2017, Khalid released his debut album, "American Teen". This album not only marked the maturity of the male singer's musical style but also deeply reflected the true emotions of youth, from love to insecurities in life. Outstanding songs such as "Young Dumb & Broke" and "8TEEN" quickly became hits, loved by young people around the world.

Notably, the album "American Teen" not only achieved impressive sales but also brought Khalid his first Grammy nominations in his career, including Best Contemporary Album, affirming the singer's position in the music industry.

Khalid is not without reason. He has the ability to write honest music that expresses everyday emotions and experiences with subtlety. His lyrics often deal with love, youth, maturity, and the emotional moments in life. It is this intimacy and authenticity that has helped the singer touch the hearts of millions of fans around the world.

Khalid's musical style is a combination of classic R&B and modern sounds, creating a music that is both familiar and new. His smooth, emotional voice is also an important highlight, making the songs special and easily penetrate the hearts of listeners.

In just a few years, Khalid has achieved many impressive achievements with 6 Grammy nominations, 6 Billboard Music Awards, 3 American Music Awards and 1 MTV Video Music Award. Besides his solo activities, the male singer has also continuously expanded his influence by collaborating with many famous artists.

Hits include: "Love Lies" (featuring Normani) - a modern R&B song that reached the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100; "Eastside" (featuring Benny Blanco and Halsey) - a gentle but captivating pop song that became a global hit...

In addition to his music career, Khalid is also known for his positive contributions to the community, from raising funds for charity to supporting arts education projects for young people. In particular, he is also one of the US-UK artists who are extremely fond of BTS. The two met for the first time at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards and quickly became friends.

Khalid regularly shares songs, posts, and even attends concerts of HYBE's boygroup. There has been a lot of inside information about Khalid and BTS's collaboration, but up to now, the public has not seen any moves from both sides.

Until November 23, 2024, the world music scene was shocked when Khalid officially announced that he was a member of the LGBTQ community. On his personal page, the singer born in 1998 shared: "I have never felt ashamed or hidden about my TD tendencies. I'm fine. And I want to say that I love everyone." This affirmation of the male singer received enthusiastic support from fans around the world.

This is the first time Khalid has spoken about his TD tendencies. The male singer came out after Hugo D Almonte released a photo of him with him, with a caption that was said to imply the unhappy end of their relationship as well as the TD tendencies of the Location hit owner.

Previously, Hugo D Almonte posted that he had dated a famous male singer. However, when they had a conflict and broke up, his boyfriend set him up and falsely accused him of breaking into his house. The other person's behavior made Hugo D Almonte angry. People speculated that the person mentioned was Khalid.

Khalid's coming out as gay not only marked a milestone in his personal life but also sent a positive message to the LGBTQ community. This brave act of the young star has inspired many people and helped to eliminate prejudices about gay people.
