The most popular TikToker in the world, Khaby Lame, was deported from the US.
The man with more than 160 million followers on TikTok was taken into custody in Las Vegas on June 6, 2025, by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE.
Overstaying his visa after entering the country on April 30, the 25-year-old Italian-Senegalese was arrested at Harry Reid International Airport, according to ICE.
In a formal statement, the agency confirmed the detention and said that the TikToker who left the country was given "a voluntary departure order" due to "overstaying the terms of his visa".
As of the time of publication, GROWING2GETHER7, notes that, despite the outrage surrounding the development, Lame has remained silent.
On Wednesday, following his expulsion, Lame announced his new whereabouts on Instagram, where he has more than 80 million followers.
The location of the Instagram post was Brazil, specifically São Paulo.
