TikTok sensation Khaby Lame is known for turning everyday moments into viral gold. However, his recent U.S. trip took an unexpected turn when ICE detained him at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas for allegedly overstaying his visa. 😊
The 25-year-old, whose legal name is Seringe Khabane Lame, arrived in the U.S. on April 30 only to learn that he had exceeded the permitted duration of his visa stay. Fortunately, he was granted a voluntary departure, which means no deportation order was issued and his record remains relatively clear for future visits.
Famous for his silent yet hilarious reactions to over-complicated life hacks, Khaby has amassed over 162 million followers on TikTok. Beyond the digital limelight, he’s also made waves with a multi-year partnership with designer brand Hugo Boss, attended the Met Gala in New York City, and was named a UNICEF goodwill ambassador.
This incident is a cool reminder for all tech-savvy and social media enthusiasts that even global icons face unexpected challenges. Keep an eye on Khaby Lame as he continues to redefine the influencer game and navigates life's unpredictable twists and turns! 😎
