Khaby Lame overtakes Charli D\u2019Amelio as most-followed TikTok creator Instagram: charlidamelio \/ YouTube: Nas DailyKhaby Lame has officially overtaken Charli D\u2019Amelio as TikTok\u2019s most-followed content creator after months of fan campaigns urging viewers to send him to the top. Sengalese-born social media star Khabane Lame is now the undisputed king of TikTok. Sitting at 142,389,179 followers at the time of writing, he has officially surpassed Charli D\u2019Amelio, who sat in her throne as TikTok Queen for over two years. Khaby\u2019s latest accomplishment comes on the heels of a huge fan effort across TikTok to see him beat out Charli, using hashtags like #KhabyToNumberOne to spread the word. Of course, Khaby was going viral well before his fans took off on this endeavor. Last year, Lame garnered a jaw-dropping 15 million followers between May 8 and May 23, according to metrics taken from Social Tracker. Khaby is best known for his viral life-hack debunking videos, where he humorously takes the \u201ceasy\u201d route that so many life hacks seem to walk miles around \u2014 all with a totally unamused look as though he\u2019s \u201cdone\u201d with their shenanigans.

Khaby\u2019s upset comes two years after Charli took the title of TikTok royalty from Loren Gray, who, at the time, had 41 million followers on the app. Since then, Charli has skyrocketed to 141 million followers, and Khaby has surpassed even that. Of course, there\u2019s no enmity between these two social media celebrities; the duo met up back in February of this year and snapped a few photos together, showing that although there might be some healthy competition among them, it\u2019s all love in the end. CHARLI AND KHABY? i didn\u2019t expect that omg pic.twitter.com\/FcivEOLrk1 \u2014 lily (@lilysdamelio) February 25, 2022 This massive shift in TikTok\u2019s ranks also follows some odd metrics for some of the app\u2019s biggest stars, including Charli and Addison Rae, who have seen a substantial loss in followers over the past month. Although it\u2019s clear they\u2019re still doing well for themselves, with both women set to star in major films.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
