Khaby Lame Becomes the Most Followed Person on TikTok

Khabane “Khaby” Lame, who hails from Italy, has amassed a total of 142.8 million followers on TikTok as of the time this article was written. The American Charli D’Amelio, who has held the record since March 2020, has been overtaken by the silent comedian, who is 22 years old.
The parodies that Khaby has created of so-called ‘lifehacks’ have amassed millions of views, and they have brought him popularity all over the world.
Lame’s rise to fame is a testament to the power of social media and the importance of authenticity.

He is a role model for aspiring creators and a reminder that anyone can achieve success if they are willing to work hard and be themselves.
Story of Khaby Lame
Khaby had little choice but to go back to his parents’ house in Turin, Italy, when the COVID-19 outbreak caused him to lose his job as a factory worker. As a result of the widespread lockdowns that have been implemented, Khaby decided to start using TikTok as a method to distract himself from the monotony of being confined to his house.
Even though his early videos had him dancing, enjoying video games, and experimenting with the app’s many filters, he did not garner a significant number of views. When one of Khaby’s videos gained widespread attention in November 2020, everything began to shift. Khaby, in response to a video posted by another user that overcomplicated a simple life hack, displayed in silence a more straightforward approach to resolving the issue. Khaby had discovered the secret to success with his now-famous disapproving glare and hand motions.
