"Lol I go to talk to a fan and she grabs my ass, how fuckin old are we???" he tweeted, later adding: "I love interacting and talking to fans but I also love respecting others so don’t disrespect me when I’m being nice."

Nineteen-year-old Khalid said in subsequent tweets that he ignored the incident at the time so as to avoid confrontation with the woman. However, he took to Twitter to highlight what happened and show that "it can happen to anybody!"
