Silent comedy king Khaby Lame, TikTok's most-followed creator with 162 million fans, has left the U.S. following a visa dispute that led to his brief detention by immigration authorities. 🌍 The Senegalese-Italian influencer, known for his wordless reactions to overcomplicated life hacks, was held at Las Vegas' airport last Friday after allegedly overstaying his visa.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed the 25-year-old departed voluntarily without a formal deportation order—a move that could help him avoid a 10-year reentry ban. His exit comes amid renewed debates about U.S. immigration policies, though ICE clarified this was a routine enforcement action.
📱 Rising from pandemic-era bedroom videos to Hugo Boss partnerships and UNICEF ambassadorship, Lame's journey took a surreal turn last month when he attended the Met Gala just days before his visa expired. The internet's favorite facepalmer hasn't commented publicly, leaving fans worldwide meme-ing their support.
Born in Senegal and raised in Italy since infancy, Lame's global appeal lies in his universal humor—no captions needed. His abrupt U.S. exit sparks questions about celebrity travel protocols in the age of viral fame. Will his silent storytelling continue from abroad? Stay tuned. 🎬
