Kehlani Opens Up About Her Sexuality

by Daryl Nelson

Kehlani took to Twitter on Sunday and addressed her sexuality..

"Cuz I keep gettin asked ... I'm queer," she wrote in a now deleted tweet. "Not bi, not straight, I'm attracted to women, men, really attracted to queer men, non binary people, intersex people, trans people, lil poly pansexual papi hello good morning. Does that answer your questions?"

i felt gay always insisted there was still a line drawn as to which “label” of human i was attracted when i really jus be walking around thinking ERRYBODY FINE https://t.co/2zXOUY7fDf

Afterward, Kehlani received some backlash for her tweet.  She responded by saying that only the group of people who rhyme with the words "braight ben" were bothered. The singer also said that out of everyone she's "least attracted" to these "braight ben."

"Bisexual men really are little gifts from God, though," she wrote in a message that was also removed.

Kehlani then apologized to the other people she offended, which you can see below.

i retracted my queer tweet because i am being corrected about the way in which i listed the gender spectrum and i’m super super sensitive to being offensive especially when i’m only trying to appreciate. point is, i love love, and that love lies in every gender there is. 🧡
