Khaby Lame, the most-followed content creator on TikTok with over 160 million followers, has reportedly been deported from the United States.
The 25-year-old Italian-Senegalese influencer was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on June 6, 2025, at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas. ICE officials stated that Lame had overstayed the terms of his visa, having entered the country on April 30.
In an official statement, ICE confirmed that Lame was issued a “voluntary departure order” after violating his visa conditions. He has since left the country.
As of the time of this report, Lame has not publicly addressed the situation, despite growing public interest and speculation online.
However, shortly after his deportation, he posted an update on his Instagram story — where he has over 80 million followers — revealing his new location:
“São Paulo, Brazil.”
