I love how people are just now discovering TikTok is propped up by cultural appropriation #BlackTikTokStrike /WkbVXwmFnx ?♂️ #learnfromkhaby #LearnWithTikTok #ImparaConTikTok ♬ suono originale – Khabane lameĭuring an interview with The New York Times in June this year, Lame, popularly known as “the Italian TikToker,” revealed that he still uses his Senegalese passport despite living in Italy since he was one year old. This is has been lauded as perhaps the key to his success because his movements and expressions bypass cultural and language barriers, making his messages universal. Instead, he uses facial expressions and hand gestures to poke fun at other internet stars. In his videos, he typically doesn't say a single word. Lame began using Tiktok last year in March 2020 after he lost his job as a factory worker due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Lame's ascent highlights the plight of Black content creators and has also exposed the frailty of Italy’s citizenship and immigration laws Khabane Lame, better known as Khaby Lame, a 21-year-old Senegalese man living in Chivasso, Italy, became the first TikTok creator in Europe and the second in the world to hit 100 million followers on August 10, 2021.
