WORLD'S MOST FOLLOWED TIKTOKER, KHABY LAME, DEPORTED FROM U.S. FOLLOWING ARREST
Khaby Lame, the most followed creator on TikTok with over 160 million followers, has been deported from the United States.
The 25-year-old Italian-Senegalese influencer was reportedly arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Las Vegas on June 6, 2025. Authorities say he was detained at Harry Reid International Airport for overstaying his visa after entering the country on April 30.
In an official statement, ICE confirmed that Lame was issued a “voluntary departure order” due to his visa overstay and has since left the country.
As of the time of this report, Lame has not publicly addressed the incident. However, he shared an update on his Instagram Story — where he has over 80 million followers — on Wednesday, revealing his current location with the caption: “São Paulo, Brazil.”
