TikTok sensation Khaby Lame experienced the Hollywood treatment as he attended a prestigious public event, leaving his fans in awe.
The Senegalese-Italian influencer is TikTok’s most-followed creator, with over 162 million followers on the popular video-sharing platform.
Lame gained fame for his comedic videos that silently debunk viral ‘life hacks,’ often showcasing his signature move of lifting his hands in frustration and giving a bewildered look at the camera.
Since claiming the TikTok crown in 2022, Lame has continued to thrive on the platform, even receiving his own character skin in Fortnite and earning hundreds of thousands of dollars per video.
Khaby Lame solidified his position as the TikTok king after surpassing Charli D’Amelio in 2022.
While known for his silent comedic style, fans were taken aback when they saw him speaking in a series of paparazzi videos filmed at a lavish outdoor event.
A compilation of these clips gained traction on social media in September 2024, featuring Lame surrounded by security guards in sharp suits. He was also dressed impeccably and even took a photo with Canadian film producer David Foster.
When queried about his favorite film, Lame expressed his admiration for ‘Green Book,’ and encouraged viewers to ‘keep going’ when asked for tips on gaining a million TikTok followers.

Netizens were bewildered by the extensive security detail surrounding the TikTok star at all times, with one user commenting on X: “Why so much security?”
“Not gonna lie, this VIP look [seems] forced,” noted another user.
“Is that all his security?” added a different commenter. “[That’s] better than some world leaders.”
It remains unclear why Khaby was accompanied by so many guards, especially since Foster himself had a much smaller detail. However, given Lame’s status as one of the most prominent content creators globally, it’s reasonable for him to prioritize his safety while in public.
This event marks another viral moment for Lame, following his recent announcement as part of Airbnb’s ‘Icons’ category, where the company offered an exclusive gaming session with him in May 2024.
