Kehlani issued a "bomb drop" when she confirmed her sexuality during a live session on Easter Sunday.

"Wanna know what's new about me? I finally know I'm a lesbian," the singer abruptly said.

Previously identifying as queer, Kehlani opened up about her sexuality during a recent interview with The Advocate. She admitted to presenting herself as a straight woman throughout her career and acknowledged her privilege as a result.

"I have a lot of privilege," Kehlani said of the advantages she feels she has as a "cisgender-presenting, straight-presenting" person. "I think a lot of artists who we talk about and say, 'Oh, they had to come out or they had to do this,' a lot of them can't hide it. A lot of it is very [much] in how they present. It's tougher for them. It's tougher for trans artists. It's tougher for Black gay men. It's tougher for Black masculine gay women."

"I didn't even really have to come out in my private life," she continued. "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."

Kehlani also admitted to experiencing "teachable moments" by committing a few missteps when speaking about gender and sexual identity. As society becomes more inclusive, the singer expressed her belief LGBTQ artists will be able to express themselves more freely.

"All the beautiful Black trans women that I have in my life that I'm able to just witness -- not only living their true f****** power -- but [to] be courageous and be fearless and then fiercely educate everybody around them and just be a force in this world!" Kehlani said. "They do it so effortlessly that it comes off almost easy to people who don't know them. I have so many super bada**, bad b****, trans women friends that I'm just like, 'I bet people think this s*** is a walk in the f****** park because of how you get up and get out the house every day and be this bada** b****.' But I know it's f****** hard."
