Allegations and Reactions
Khalid took to social media, feeling sad about what his ex, Hugo Almonte, said about him. In a video shared on Monday, the singer expressed his hurt over being labeled “manipulative” after Almonte’s posts.
Khalid’s Response
“This is really frustrating,” Khalid admitted in his video. He wanted people to know he wasn’t pretending everything was fine. The comments that painted him as an “abuser” were especially upsetting for him, as he felt it was quite the opposite.
We think it’s tough when people say untrue things about you.
The Claims and Accusations
Almonte had told a magazine that Khalid tried using his influence to silence him after their breakup. He mentioned the singer in connection with some pretty wild stories, like serving pink cocaine and accusing him of a break-in.
Setting the Record Straight
In his video, Khalid firmly denied ever using cocaine or publicly accusing anyone of breaking into his home. Only a few close friends knew about the incident because he preferred to keep it private. He also clarified that he hadn’t been in contact with Almonte for years.
Moving Forward
Khalid concluded by saying that upcoming music releases were planned long before these accusations surfaced. Some people thought he was using his sexuality for attention, but he just wanted to focus on his art.
Finally, on Friday, Khalid openly shared he is gay after the intense online drama, including Almonte’s posts with photos of them together. “!!! there yall go. next topic please lol… I got outted and the world still continues to turn,” he wrote, showing pride in who he is.
