Comedian Khaby Lame has become the king of TikTok -- all without uttering a word
With more than 142.9 million followers, Lame has dethroned teen dancer and content creator Charli D'Amelio to become the most-followed person on the platform. Lame, 22, who was born in the West African nation of Senegal and now lives in Italy, creates videos in which he reacts wordlessly to absurd life hacks, racking up millions of views and likes with each post. In the past few weeks, his fans launched a social media effort to push him past D'Amelio on TikTok. On Instagram, Lame has 78.
"In addition to the life hack videos, Lame also posts short comedy skits that feature his expressive reactions -- but no words.His reactions personify the term"shaking my head," or SMH in internet shorthand. After his common-sense approach to a task, Lame extends his arms with his palms facing upward, as if to say, 'duh.' Sometimes he throws in an eye roll or a shake of the head.
