Despite joining TikTok with extremely simple videos, just one year later, the black-skinned guy Khaby Lame has amassed tens of millions of followers and a massive fanbase.
Born on March 9, 2000, in Turin, Italy, the 21-year-old began posting his first clips in March 2020 and quickly gained popularity online. Initially, he joined TikTok for entertainment purposes, but fame came to him far too quickly.
Khaby became famous thanks to his humorous short videos, which require no dialogue, but viewers can sense his sarcasm towards those who “complicate simple things,” making them laugh. Khaby’s videos receive millions of views.
After a period of uploading videos and managing his TikTok channel, Khaby Lame’s account has surpassed 20 million followers, and this number has now increased to over 38 million and continues to rise, gradually approaching 40 million.
He is the most followed Italian on this social media platform. It is expected that in the near future, this TikToker will likely soon enter the top 100 most followed people in the world on TikTok.
In an interview with Corriere della Sera (Italy), Khaby said: “To be honest, I didn’t think I would be received like this. I’m very happy to be the most followed person in Italy on TikTok; for me, ranking is just a number. Above all, my goal is to entertain people. When I post videos, people say they like my facial expressions. That’s why I continue”, he shared.
