Khaby Lame, a prominent TikTok influencer, was detained by ICE on June 6 for overstaying his visa while attending the Met Gala. After receiving a temporary visa just weeks earlier, Lame faced repercussions for not adhering to visa terms. Although he has since confirmed his departure from the US via social media from Brazil, he has yet to publicly address the situation. His rise to fame stems from his unique, wordless humor that transcends language, appealing to a vast international audience and earning him the title of most followed person on TikTok.
ICE spokesperson confirmed that Khaby Lame was detained for overstaying his visa, highlighting issues surrounding influencer travel and visa regulations.
Lame, a rapidly rising TikTok star whose humor crosses language barriers, had been in the U.S. since April for a high-profile event.
