À propos de cet audio
Khaby Lame, currently the world’s most-followed TikTok star, made global headlines over the past few days after a high-profile brush with US immigration authorities. Reports from Deadline Film and TV, confirmed by The Associated Press, indicate that Khaby, whose real name is Seringe Khabane Lame, was briefly detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement at Las Vegas airport on June 6 for allegedly overstaying his visa. Officials stated that Khaby had entered the United States in late April, just days before attending the Met Gala in New York, and was then granted a voluntary departure after his detention. Importantly, there was no deportation order, and he exited the country on amicable terms. This story dominated entertainment news, with the TBS News Network and Providence News highlighting his voluntary departure and sparking heated social media discussion about immigration standards for influencers.
While this setback might have unnerved a lesser creator, Khaby’s global fanbase only seemed to rally. Far from lying low, he’s already shifted his focus to Asia, with multiple reliable outlets including China Daily Asia and ShootsWorks announcing his upcoming visit to China in September. Khaby recently joined Weibo, China’s massive social platform, launching his account with his signature blend of humility and humor—his first post racked up over 100,000 followers within a day. According to promotional news, his China trip will see him visit multiple cities like Changsha, Shanghai, Beijing, and Shenzhen, where he’ll sample street food, meet fans, and create collaborative content with local influencers. His unique facial expressions, widely known as reaction memes, have become a beloved fixture of digital culture in China, with fans dubbing him "wuyu ge" or "speechless brother." Organizers are framing his tour as a symbol of cross-cultural collaboration and innovation.
Business-wise, Khaby’s estimated net worth remains strong at around ten million dollars, as reported by iliketodabble.com, thanks to social media presence, brand partnerships, and selective endorsements. On Instagram, Khaby himself revealed that he’s refused multi-million dollar deals from alcohol and betting companies, sacrificing millions because of his commitment to being a positive influence for his many young followers—a move that’s won him further respect and media attention.
Currently, Khaby stands at over 160 million TikTok followers according to Epidemic Sound news, confirming his continued dominance as the most-followed individual on the platform. As he pivots from controversy in the US to an eagerly anticipated tour of China, Khaby Lame remains a central figure in global digital culture—unshakeable, meme-ready, and steadfastly authentic.
