TikTok star Khaby Lame detained in US over visa violation
World-famous TikTok sensation Khaby Lame, known for his hilarious silent reactions and with over 160 million followers, recently found himself at the center of a legal storm in the United States.
According to U.S. immigration sources, Khaby was detained at Las Vegas airport for overstaying his B1/B2 visa, which had expired on June 6. He had entered the U.S. to attend high-profile events like the Met Gala earlier this year.
After being held by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Khaby cooperated fully and agreed to voluntarily leave the country. He was released the same day and is expected to return to Italy.
Who is Khaby Lame?
Born in Senegal and raised in Italy, Khaby rose to stardom during the 2020 lockdown with his unique brand of silent comedy.
In 2022, he became an Italian citizen and was later appointed as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador.
He has worked with global brands such as Hugo Boss and appeared on major international stages.
What Does This Mean for His Future?
While this legal issue may not severely damage Khaby’s brand, it could affect his future entries into the United States, especially under strict visa regulations. Analysts believe this case highlights how even top influencers are not above the law, and must comply with international travel policies like everyone else.
