Kehlani took to Twitter back in 2018 to clarify to the public that they identified as “queer.” She told Avocate: “I didn’t even really have to come out in my private life. I don’t walk down the street and people look at me and go, Oh, I bet she’s queer. Or I bet that she’s into women or anything like that because of the way I present. That’s all privilege and I think that there are quite a few artists who were truly at the forefront but weren’t able to make the strides that I was able to make being 100 percent myself because of the way they present and the biases and the phobias of the American public and the world…. I’ve been lucky, super lucky.”
But now she’s upfront about it.
