TikToker Khaby was detained for overstaying visa, now he has departed US, confirms ICE
ICE confirms that popular TikToker Khaby was detained for overstaying US visa.
The immigration department confirmed that ICE detained Serine Khabane Lame, popularly known as Khaby, at the Harry Reid International Airport, Las Vegas, for immigration violations, after such claims went viral with any official clarification.
The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Khaby entered the US April 30 and overstayed the terms of his visa. Khaby was granted voluntary departure June 6 and has since departed the US.
Khabane "Khaby" Lame is a Senegalese-Italian TikTok star, born on March 9, 2000, and the platform's most-followed creator with over 162 million followers as of 2025. He gained fame during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic after losing his factory job in Chivasso, Italy, where he's lived since age one.
Known for his silent, deadpan comedy, Khaby mocks overly complicated "life hack" videos by showing simpler solutions, using expressive facial reactions and a signature hand gesture.
His wordless style, inspired by universal humor, has made him globally relatable.
Khaby became TikTok's most-followed user in June 2022, surpassing Charli D'Amelio. He's earned up to $750,000 per post, with a net worth estimated at $16 million, through brand deals with Hugo Boss, Fortnite, and Walmart, among others.

He's also ventured into acting, appearing in Bad Boys: Ride or Die (2024), starring in the Tubi series Khaby Is Coming to America, and judging on Italia's Got Talent. A practicing Muslim, Khaby married Wendy Thembelihle Juel in 2023, but they separated by May 2024.
He's been recognized in Forbes' 30 Under 30 and Fortune's 40 Under 40.
Khaby's arrest or detainment was largely dismissed as fake news before ICE confirmed it. The speculation stemmed from posts by Conservative activist Bo Loudon. Khaby is an Italian citizen since 2022 though he stayed in Italy since childhood after his family came to the country from Senegal.

Swifties blamed for Travis Kelce interview leak as Bussin' With The Boys crew relives ‘hacked' moment
The Bussin' With The Boys podcast team faced a major setback when their unreleased interview with Travis Kelce was leaked online (Getty Images) In a surprising and chaotic turn of events, the Bussin' With The Boys podcast crew recently opened up about a behind-the-scenes disaster involving their unreleased interview with Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce . According to the show's editors, a leak of the unlisted YouTube interview caused panic within the team—and they believe Taylor Swift's passionate fanbase may have been behind it. Travis Kelce interview clips mysteriously leak before release, sending podcast team into panic On a recent episode of Back of the Bus, a spinoff of Bussin' With The Boys, crew member Mitch recalled the shocking moment when footage from their yet-to-be-published Travis Kelce interview surfaced online. 'He was so big that we kind of got hacked. We weren't recording with Travis at the time. Clips started hitting Twitter, 10-minute clips,' Mitch recounted. 'You look at me, and you were like, 'Did you post the episode?' I'm like no.' Mitch had uploaded the interview as an unlisted video on YouTube—a common practice for internal sharing before a video officially goes live. However, even unlisted videos can be viewed if someone obtains the direct URL. Somehow, Swifties—Taylor Swift's notoriously tech-savvy and devoted fandom—appeared to have found it. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One of the Most Successful Investors of All Time, Warren Buffett, Recommends: 5 Books for Turning...

Jack shows me these videos on Twitter, and I'm like, What did I do wrong? I had to go tell Will and Taylor. I don't know what happened, but somehow the episode was leaked. I don't know how somebody got the URL. Swifties hacked us,' Mitch concluded. Swift's fans are known for their unmatched online detective skills. From tracking her private jet to decoding song lyrics, Swifties spare no effort in supporting—and sometimes protecting—their queen. When Swift started dating Kelce nearly two years ago, their attention naturally extended to every detail of his public appearances and media engagements. In this case, their deep-dive internet sleuthing may have inadvertently compromised a podcast team's entire rollout strategy. Despite the chaos, the Bussin' team had nothing but praise for Kelce and his team, even giving a shout out to the New Heights podcast, which Kelce co-hosts with his brother Jason. They specifically acknowledged their respect for New Heights' social media producer, Jake Chatzky—known online as Jets Jake—for how he handles their digital content.
