Lame is now the second most followed person on TikTok after he overtook Addison Rae’s 81 million followers.

As of July 5th, 2021, Khaby has 83.5 million followers and over 1.2 billion likes on the platform. Khabar Lame is a 21-year-old Italian-Senegalese internet star, who shot to stardom on TikTok in 2020 after he started creating his own version of ‘life hack’ videos for the video-sharing platform.

His parents scolded him for his dedication to just posting videos instead of looking for a more traditional source of income. But he became famous with a formula that crosses every boundary.

During the first days of March 2020, due to the pandemic, Khabane Lame lost his job as a laborer in the city of Chivasso, in northern Italy. As a result, he had to return to live with his family in a modest apartment.

His parents, Senegalese, watched him spend hours every day posting videos on TikTok instead of looking for another job as he was told. Under the name Khaby Lame, the 21-year-old went viral with his reactions to complicated absurd videos that showed curious ways to perform simple tasks, such as cutting a banana or using a device to put on shoes, among others.

The Tiktoker pokes fun at some ‘hack’ clips that take so much time. Instead, the TikToker offers a better and obvious solution for a shorter time. His banana peeling video is one of the most popular ones on his profile which has gained over 267 million views. His hilarious signature facial expressions have made him a huge star on the app, with each of his videos amassing millions and millions of views, likes, and comments.
