Who is Khaby Lame? Most viral TikTok star leaves US — A look at the influencer's popular and controversial videos
Popular TikTok and social media influencer Khaby Lame had to depart the United States after being detained for allegedly overstaying his visa. The Senegalese Italian influencer is known for his humorous content, some of which has even created major controversy issues. As soon as the news of Lame's departure broke out, social media went into a frenzy, with his followers expressing their shock as well as support towards the social media star. Khaby Lame is a Senegalese-Italian content creator. He was born in Senegal on March 9, 2000. His family moved to Italy when he was just one year old. He became TikTok's most-followed creator globally. He has over 162 million followers there. His rise started during the Covid-19 pandemic. He lost his factory job in Italy and began making TikTok videos. Khaby is famous for his silent comedy skits. He reacts to overly complicated life hacks. His videos show simpler solutions with deadpan expressions. His humor uses exaggerated gestures instead of words. This style crosses language barriers easily. Khaby gained Italian citizenship in 2022. Before that, he held only Senegalese citizenship. Beyond TikTok, he partners with brands like Hugo Boss and is also a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. Recently, the TikTok sensation was also seen attending the Met Gala 2025 in New York. Khaby Lame's most-viewed TikTok videos perfectly showcase his signature silent comedy style. His number one video, with 353 million views, mocks an overcomplicated car wing mirror hack—he simply adjusts the mirror normally, followed by his iconic "hands-out" shrug. The second most popular (304.8 million views) parodies someone cutting their hair after getting it stuck in a car window; Khaby dons a wig to demonstrate opening the door instead. His third-ranked clip (298.8 million views) features him reacting to someone struggling with a door mechanism, again solving it effortlessly. The toilet paper hack video ranks fourth (279.2 million views), where he debunks a convoluted method for tearing paper with 29.8 million likes. Rounding out the top five is his 277.6 million-view car door escape skit, where he "rescues" a shirt trapped in a door by just opening it. All these videos follow his winning formula: wordlessly exposing absurdly complex life hacks with deadpan expressions and minimalist solutions.

Khaby Lame Deported: What TikTok star's treatment tells us about Trump's America; and its apathy
In The Trial, Franz Kafka's bewildered protagonist wakes up one morning to find himself under arrest by an opaque, faceless authority — accused of a crime never named, tried by a system that never explains itself. In Amerika , another young man arrives in the United States with dreams of freedom and opportunity, only to be ensnared in a country where bureaucracy, misunderstanding, and endless rules turn liberty into exile. These aren't just novels — they're warning labels for modern life. And so, when Khaby Lame, the world's most famous silent comedian, was detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for overstaying his visa, the irony wasn't just poetic — it was Kafkaesque. A man who rose to global stardom by silently mocking pointless complexity found himself swallowed whole by one of the most pointlessly complex systems on Earth. The universally beloved TikTok star, whose 162 million followers know him for his mute mastery of common sense, was quietly escorted out of America by a bureaucracy that doesn't speak his language — or anyone's, really — unless it's in visa codes, I-94 expiry dates, and the cold calculus of 'voluntary departure.' His gesture — palms raised, eyes widened in comic disbelief — became a grim parody of its original intent: the everyman's reaction to the world's absurdities, now trapped in one of the greatest absurdities of all. A system designed to punish movement, erase context, and reduce human lives to immigration case files had, at last, found its most ironic victim — a man who made complexity laughable, until complexity laughed back. To borrow one of Khaby's trademark gestures — palms up, eyes wide, head tilted — the whole thing was absurd. When Bureaucracy Became the Joke Khaby didn't need punchlines. His comedic empire was built on the ability to mock overly complicated solutions to simple problems — slicing through the internet's life-hack clutter with a single shrug. But no number of well-timed glances could rescue him from the labyrinth of U.S. visa law. He arrived in America in late April, attended the Met Gala, posed with celebs, and flew between events and engagements — only to be detained by ICE officers at Las Vegas airport weeks later. His crime? A visa that had technically expired. His punishment? Voluntary departure, which sounds polite but is essentially deportation with better branding. Let's pause there. A man whose entire career is based on mocking senseless complexity was swallowed whole by the most senselessly complex immigration system on Earth. If this were a Khaby Lame sketch, the officer would whip out a 500-page rulebook, flip to page 473, paragraph C, subsection viii, and declare: 'You didn't file Form I-539 within 60 days of your I-94 expiration.' Khaby would shrug and point at a calendar. End scene. But this wasn't a skit. It was reality. And it revealed something deeper about where America is headed. Trump 2.0 and the Theatre of the Border Khaby Lame's brush with ICE didn't happen in isolation. It came amid President Donald Trump's second-term blitz on immigration. A few years older, not a shade mellower, Trump has brought back his signature approach with a vengeance — this time with more executive orders, more raids, and an even more aggressive ICE. Recent weeks have seen federal troops patrolling Los Angeles after mass immigration raids. Labour leaders were arrested. Protests erupted. In the midst of it all, the world's most apolitical TikTok star became political by accident — just by existing in the wrong place, at the wrong bureaucratic time. Trump's slogan may be "Make America Great Again," but in practice it often reads as "Make Immigration Grievous Again." And in this performance, everyone's a prop — whether it's an undocumented mother, a tech CEO on an expired H1B, or a globally beloved influencer who didn't leave on the dot. The kicker? Trump loyalists on social media actually celebrated Khaby's removal. One even claimed credit for alerting DHS. In this America, it seems, even laughter is foreign. And must therefore be deported. A Face Known to Billions, But Not to ICE There's something cosmically ridiculous about the U.S. treating Khaby Lame like a flight risk. This is a man whose entire presence — from fashion campaigns to UNICEF ambassadorships — is plastered across half the world's billboards and screens. He's not hiding in basements. He's walking red carpets. He's judging Italia's Got Talent. He's making cameos in Black Panther and Bad Boys movies. His life is one long, wordless resume of harmless, global goodwill. But to the American immigration system, he was just another case number. Just another "removable alien." That's the cruelty of it: the bureaucracy doesn't care if you've helped children through UNICEF, redefined online comedy, or single-handedly made Gen Z laugh during a pandemic. You're either documented or not. Welcome or not. Legal or illegal. No nuance, no context, no humanity. Just codes and categories. The Great Wall of Paperwork America's immigration regime is the only place where Kafka would feel at home. It is a thicket of forms, timelines, acronyms, and discretionary rules that even lawyers struggle to decipher. And it is weaponised not just against those who slip in quietly, but also against those who arrive with fanfare. In that sense, Khaby's exit wasn't about him at all. It was about the system's need to make an example. Even the world's most famous TikToker must follow the rules — or be ejected. Zero tolerance, maximum theatre. And let's be clear: Khaby was lucky. A voluntary departure means no black mark on his record, and he can return legally if he wants to. But the message is clear — you are welcome until you are not. The Global Everyman vs. Fortress America Khaby Lame is a symbol of everything globalisation used to promise — that talent, charm, and relatability could transcend borders. That a Senegalese-born, Italian-raised Muslim man could make the whole world laugh without uttering a word. That a shared joke could bridge cultures. That virality could lead to Vogue covers, fashion deals, and seats at the table. Trump's America, by contrast, is a fortress in retreat. Its posture is paranoid. Its immigration policies are not about who you are, but about whether you overstayed by a day. It's not a system designed to welcome the world's best — it's a system built to keep everyone guessing, and many out. Khaby didn't just overstay a visa. He overstayed his welcome in a nation that sees visas not as opportunities, but as traps — designed to expire just in time for headlines. Deporting Optimism If Khaby Lame had been a symbol of hopeful globalism, his treatment in America symbolises something darker: the triumph of punitive bureaucracy over common sense. The rise of performance policy over practicality. The elevation of 'showing toughness' over showing grace. And yet, in perfect irony, this episode may only enhance Khaby's mythos. He didn't complain. He didn't post a dramatic TikTok from the airport. He left — silently, perhaps with a knowing shrug — and the world noticed. He reminded us that silence can speak volumes. That a gesture can say more than a grievance. That you don't need a monologue to reveal the absurdity of systems. Final Act: The Joke's on Us In a year where America claims to be defending democracy by tightening borders, it has also managed to kick out one of the least threatening, most beloved people on the planet. That's not immigration enforcement. That's satire. So here's the punchline, delivered with no words, just a raised brow and two upturned palms: A man whose silence made the world laugh was silenced by a system that doesn't know how to smile. The land of the free just sent a message to the world's most-followed man: We're closed. Come back later — with the right paperwork. Or better yet, bring a suitcase full of money. And maybe then, just maybe, we'll laugh with you. Until then, keep quiet. Oh wait. He already does.
