The current ruler of TikTok is Khaby Lame.
With 142.8 million followers, the short-form comedy video virtuoso has surpassed Charli D’Amelio, who was previously the most popular TikTok creator (who currently has 142.3 million).
Lame was born in Senegal, and his family relocated to Chivasso, Italy, when he was a year old. After being fired from a factory job in the early stages of the COVID-19 epidemic, he started a TikTok channel and uploaded his first comic video in March 2020.
The 22-year-humorous old’s videos have amassed a sizable fan base, making him one of the most well-known and adored TikTok creators worldwide. His videos often don’t feature dialog, but Lame is known for his signature facial expressions and body language. He has a particular talent for reaction videos and parodying ridiculous lifehacks.
Lame said in a statement in August 2021, when he crossed 100 million followers, “I have always been enthusiastic in entertaining and making people laugh, and I am grateful to TikTok for giving me a global stage to share my enthusiasm with the rest of the world.” “Knowing that I have a lovely community ready to support me, I will continue to work toward my goals. Thank you, and I adore you all!
Lame claims that “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” Will Smith, Eddie Murphy, French actor Omar Sy, and cartoons were the sources of inspiration for his videos. In a Q&A with TikTok last summer, Lame was asked which video he’s most happy of producing. He responded, “I don’t have one in particular. I adore each and every one of my videos, and they have all made me happy.
In November 2020, Lame published his first widely watched video. He responds to a video of a girl who is paralyzed when some punk locks the rucksack she is carrying to a post in the footage, which has received more than 17 million views. and he silently shows her how to free herself by just taking off the bag.
Lame has more than 78 million Instagram followers in addition to his TikTok fan base. Iron Corp., a social media firm with offices in Milan, represents him.
