TikToker 'Khaby Lame' Leaves US After Being Detained By Immigration Agents In Las Vegas
Last Updated:
Khaby Lame, the world's most popular TikTok personality with millions of followers, has left the US after being detained by immigration agents in Las Vegas.
Days after social media influencer Khabane 'Khaby' Lame was detained by the US immigration agents in Las Vegas for allegedly overstaying his visa, the popular TikTok personality has left the US.
The Senegalese-Italian influencer, whose legal name is Seringe Khabane Lame, was detained on Friday at Harry Reid International Airport but was allowed to leave the country without a deportation order, a spokesperson for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed in a statement.
According to the ICE spokesperson, Lame arrived in the US on April 30 and "overstayed the terms of his visa". However, the influence has not publicly commented on his detainment.
His detainment and voluntary departure from the US come amid President Donald Trump's escalating crackdown on immigration, including raids in Los Angeles. Massive protests have erupted in Los Angeles against ICE, as the president tests the bounds of his executive authority.
Khaby Lame Departs Voluntarily
A voluntary departure — which was granted to Lame — allows those facing removal from the US to avoid a deportation order on their immigration record, which could prevent them from being allowed back into the US for up to a decade.
The 25-year-old rose to international fame during the pandemic without ever saying a word in his videos, which would show him reacting to absurdly complicated "life hacks." He has over 162 million followers on TikTok alone.
Lame, last month, attended the Met Gala in New York City, days after arriving in the US.
The Senegal-born influencer moved to Italy when he was an infant with his working class parents and has Italian citizenship.

‘Distract Him, Do Something:' US Man Loses His Cool Over Crying Baby In Flight
Last Updated: Pat McAuliffe, a contributor for Barstool Sports, posted a series of videos from a delayed Delta flight where a baby could be heard crying in the background. Travelling with kids can be tough, especially when they get cranky mid-air. A recent Delta Airlines flight episode took the discomfort up a notch when a baby's crying triggered a strong reaction from a fellow passenger, and an even louder conversation online. Pat McAuliffe, a contributor for Barstool Sports, posted videos from a delayed Delta flight where a baby's wails echoed through the cabin. The aircraft hadn't taken off yet and reportedly had no air conditioning, compounding the frustration. Visibly annoyed, McAuliffe captioned one clip: 'If your child is screaming on a flight (that's late with no AC and hasn't taken off yet @Delta), show it a f***ing phone. Brain rot the baby on TikTok until it's quiet. Is that too much to ask?" He continued to chronicle the baby's cries throughout the extended delay. In a follow-up clip, McAuliffe wrote, 'I do feel bad for the parents, but at some point you gotta try something new… Walk him up and down the aisle, distract him, do something. It's still going on. Simply praying it'll stop is not acceptable." In another post, he questioned whether the prolonged crying should be considered a 'medical emergency," as the child was crying for two hours. 'Also, why are these people not at least talking to their kid to soothe him? STAND UP AND WALK HIM AROUND," McAuliffe concluded. @Delta) show it a fucking phone. Brain rot the baby on TikTok until it's quiet. Is that too much to ask? — Pat (@BarstoolPAT) June 7, 2025 Social media users were left divided on Mr McAuliffe's posts. Many users called out McAuliffe's lack of empathy, while a portion of the internet echoed McAuliffe's frustration, suggesting that parents should better prepare their children for flights. 'Sounds like you're crying louder than the baby," read a comment. 'As a parent of three, put on your noise-cancelling headphones and enjoy the flight. Those parents are in absolute hell," a comment read. 'I can guarantee you that the parent is stressing out way more than you flying by yourself with earbuds in. Grow up," said a user. A user stated, 'I agree. This is the parents' fault. I have two and we can entertain our babies on the plane." 'Is it too much to ask to buy proper noise-cancelling headphones..?" another added. An account remarked, 'Bro, if this is the worst thing in your life, consider yourself lucky. Man up and see if the mom is okay and if she needs anything. She is probably trying her best." 'A responsible parent would consult a pediatrician before the flight for tips on making a baby comfortable with flying," wrote another. This incident comes months after a heartwarming moment on a Delhi to Bengaluru flight went viral. A couple traveling with their newborn thoughtfully planned something special for their fellow passengers. They anticipated that their baby might cry and cause discomfort to the travellers, hence they brought along a small hamper as a token of thanks. The comfort packs included chocolates, ear plugs, and a sweet note apologising in advance for any 'in-flight drama' and requesting everyone's patience during the journey. Social media users were quite impressed by the wholesome gesture by the couple. First Published: June 12, 2025, 16:46 IST

Go royalcore. This style guide shows you how
Fashion inspired by royalty has always been around but in the past few years, the trend – owing to OTT shows like The Crown, Bridgerton, and the more recent Indian outing Royals – has seen a massive upsurge. So much so that we now have 'Royalcore' as an entire aesthetic on social media, and youngsters willingly adopting this regal, maximalist fashion like they were born to the manor. Royalcore fashion is all about clothes that spell understated luxury. Think tailored suits, voluminous skirts, fitted corsets, coats and gowns made from rich fabrics like velvet, silk, tweed and cashmere. The colours hover over muted colours like white, pale yellow, light blue and light green for day wear and deep lush tones like claret, purple, royal blue, dark green and black for evening wear, all accented with a touch of gold. Also read: Get your cues for ocean-inspired fashion here Royalcore is aspirational, but as TikTok videos out there will tell you, not entirely inaccessible. As this compilation will show you, it's about pairing sharply tailored outfits with snazzy accessories like silk scarfs, lace gloves, and pumps in eye-catching shades. SLEEK SONNET Royalcore is about saying it with accessories as much as it is about clothes. Let's start with handbags. Skip bulky totes and backpacks that lend the feeling of you carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. Instead, go for chic top handle bags like The Row's 'Nia' tote. Crafted from smooth leather it comes with a polished gold-tone handle and optional shoulder strap and just enough space to hold your phone, keys and lipstick or compact. Available on ₹2.99 lakhs. LI'L WOMAN Regency-period hit series, Bridgerton, has got everyone fitting themselves into flowy gowns in bright colours. It has also pushed the popularity of Gen Z-fave brands like Selkie Collection who are known for their royalcore inspired collections. A good example is this floor-length empire waist gown with a cascading skirt made from three layers of cotton gauze, ponte fabric at the bust and elastic puff sleeves. It gives off 'Penelope Featherington' vibes that her beau Colin Bridgerton would approve. Available on ₹29,100. NATTY KNOT For men, a royalty-inspired ensemble would check off essentials like a tailored jacket or suit, a crisp formal shirt or polo shirt and loafers. Upgrade the look with snazzy accessories like silk scarves and brooches that also tell a story. We've got our eyes on this navy blue scarf from label Drake. Made from a luxurious wool and silk blend, it features a 'Mughal' pattern of hounds, eagles and unicorns. Available on ₹33,747.

If you are wondering where to start, start with a corset that's simple and elegant like this overbust corset in powder pink dupion silk with black lace overlay at the bust and lace flowers at the hips. The muted colour and delicate lace make it a versatile option that can be worn with a fitted black skirt or with a jacket and pants. Available on ₹28,538. BEDAZZLER The love affair between India's royal women and their French chiffon and organza saris is an abiding one. An image that comes to mind instantly is of Rajmata Gayatri Devi in her pastel saris and pearl necklaces. Take a leaf out of the regent's fashion book and make it your own with the help of this French organza sari from Atelier Shikaarbagh that's a tribute to another famous Indian queen: Durru Shehvar. The midnight blue-hued sari comes embroidered with sequins in whites and greens and is paired with a blue satin blouse. Available on ₹52,000. Also read: Not a fan of labubus?

Their popularity is often credited to Queen Marie Antoinette who is known to have worn elaborate headgear decorated with, among other exotic things, ostrich feathers. Today, fascinators depict sophistication and a certain élan. The Sinamay fascinator by British milliner Victoria Grant is defined by slim black feathers set upon a lilac-hued base covered in mesh making it the perfect accessory for a high tea party or a spot of horse racing. Available on ₹99,490. BUCKLED UP In a royal ensemble, shoes are complementary, adding heft to a reined in look. Experiment with colours, if you will. For instance, pair a tweed Chanel suit with Manolo Blahnik's classic Hangisi 70 satin toe pumps in dark fuchisia that come adorned with signature crystal square buckles. Available on ₹1.19 lakh. CHAIR AFFAIR Extend the royalcore aesthetic to your home by adding select furniture pieces that are inspired by the Rococo, Baroque or Regence periods.
