Recently, TikTok star Khaby Lame shared a message with his followers from Saudi Arabia while performing Umrah. Standing in front of the Kaaba, he expressed deep gratitude. “I am thankful to God for everything, especially for the strength to pursue and believe in my dreams,” he stated.
Khaby discussed his life’s challenges, noting, “My faith has sustained me through numerous adversities, especially when situations seemed insurmountable.” In an Italian media outlet interview, the 22-year-old confirmed his dedication to his faith, revealing, “I am a practising Muslim and a Hafiz-e-Quran.”
Born in Senegal and relocating to Italy at one, Khaby attended a Quranic school near Dakar, Senegal, at 14 to study and memorize the Quran. In 2022, he became TikTok’s most-followed individual, surpassing Charli D’Amelio with 143.2 million followers.
Khaby Lame is celebrated for his unique content style—silent, sarcastic videos that debunk needlessly complex life hacks. His understated facial expressions and gestures humorously highlight the absurdity of certain viral trends.
