Khaby Lame, World’s Most Followed TikToker, Deported from the US After Arrest
Khaby Lame, the globe’s most followed TikTok star boasting over 160 million fans, has been deported from the United States.
The 25-year-old Italian-Senegalese social media sensation was taken into custody by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on June 6, 2025, at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas. The arrest was reportedly due to overstaying his visa, having entered the country on April 30.
ICE confirmed in an official statement that Khaby Lame was granted a “voluntary departure order” after violating the terms of his visa, leading to his exit from the country.
As of the time this report was filed, Lame has remained silent publicly regarding the incident. However, shortly after his deportation, he updated his Instagram story—where he has over 80 million followers—revealing his new whereabouts with a simple caption: “São Paulo, Brazil.”
This unexpected development has stirred quite a buzz online, with fans eagerly awaiting further updates from the TikTok superstar.
