Khabane Lame is the most followed TikTok star with more than 142.5 million followers and 2.3 billion likes on the social media platform.
Born in Senegal, Khaby, started his TikTok journey after he was laid off during the Covid-19 pandemic and rose to popularity with his video reactions and responses in the form of TikTok’s “duet” and “stitch” features to videos portraying overly complicated “life hacks”, in which he performs the same task in a simple way, without saying anything. As a result of his activities, his films don’t require any additional audio. A visit to his page would be a wise decision for anybody in search of any hack, as you will be rewarded with laughs and ideas.
“The pandemic had just started, and I was bored with a lot of time on my hands so I started making videos on TikTok,” he told Forbes in 2020. Using the social media app’s duet and stitch features, Khaby, 22, capitalized on the momentum of viral and often absurdly complicated life hack videos like slicing open a banana with a knife, using odd contraptions to put on socks, he responded to them with wordless, easy-to-understand reaction clips in which he would do the same task in a much more straightforward manner.
He peels the banana. He puts on a pair of socks. And almost always he punctuates his gags with the video equivalent of a “duh” punchline, extending his arms as if to say “there you have it” and offering an expressive roll of the eyes or shake of the head. “The pandemic had just started, and I was bored with a lot of time on my hands so I started making videos on TikTok,” he told Forbes in 2020.
