À propos de cet audio
Khaby Lame has had a remarkable few days that perfectly underscored both his international celebrity and his continually evolving brand power. The headline story has been his participation in Rwanda’s famed Kwita Izina baby gorilla naming ceremony on Friday, September 5th. Khaby joined a constellation of global celebrities, conservationists, athletes, and even royalty, taking the stage in Musanze District, Rwanda, to name one of 40 baby mountain gorillas, including 18 born this year. The event draws thousands annually and highlights not only conservation but also the vital role of international icons like Khaby in spotlighting Rwanda’s efforts to protect endangered mountain gorillas, a tradition dating back to 2005. The New Times Kigali reports that Khaby’s role at the ceremony situates him alongside names like Oscar-winner Michelle Yeoh, Grammy-nominated Yemi Alade, and former footballers Bacary Sagna and Javier Pastore, further cementing his place among the most influential and recognizable young global personalities. African media widely covered Khaby’s appearance, noting his reputation, Forbes and Fortune accolades, and his “universal humor” format that connects with audiences independent of language.
Hot on the heels of his Rwandan appearance, Khaby made another major announcement: a September tour in China with exclusive livestreams on Kuaishou from Tianjin, Chongqing, and Guangzhou on September 10th, 14th, and 17th respectively. According to Dotdotnews, Khaby said, “I want to see China beyond Chinatown.” This marks his most significant foray into the Chinese digital landscape, where he already enjoys cult status for his silent memes and distinctive gesture-based comedy. The reaction from the Chinese online community—already primed by his brand of wordless humor—has been overwhelmingly positive, fueling speculation that Khaby is set to engage in new brand partnerships and expand his ambassadorial reach in Asia. While no major business deals have been formally announced in the past week, marketing analysts continue to cite Khaby Lame’s massive cross-platform audience—over 161 million TikTok followers as tracked by BrandVM and NapoleonCat—and his universal, language-free format as a blueprint for brands seeking global resonance in 2025. Khaby remains the most-followed TikTok creator worldwide, a position he has defended with rare consistency across tracking snapshots and analytics platforms. As his China tour begins and his Rwandan conservation highlight circulates the web, Khaby Lame’s continued ability to blend social impact, global accessibility, and viral entertainment seems only to be growing, keeping him firmly at the center of influencer culture—and perhaps hinting at even larger roles on the international stage soon.
