TikTok stars Khaby Lame and CZN Burak star in viral video with over 66 million views. Don’t miss
The internet is a place where, if one is talented, fame can be found overnight. And that is exactly what happened with CZN Burak and Khaby Lame. They are two extremely popular TikTokers who shot to fame overnight. Now, they have followers on social media, raking in millions. So, when a clip of them both together was uploaded on social media, it obviously went viral.
CZN Burak took to Instagram to post a reel in which he was with Khaby Lame. In the clip, Burak was chopping onions with his famous grin and his eyes fixed on the camera. Khaby Lame saw him doing that and, in his trademark style, pointed out the obvious mistake that CZN was making while chopping.
Khaby came and appeared to pry open the chef’s eyes so that he could look at the onions while chopping.
Khaby Lame is the Most Popular Man on TikTok
The path to fame is often surprising, but rarely does it come from a simple shrug. In the world of social media, however, the no nonsense observations of Senegal-born Khaby Lame have garnered him 114 million followers on TikTok, making him the most popular man on the platform. When Italy first went into a coronavirus lockdown last year, Khabane Lame had just lost his job at a factory near the northern city of Turin. He spent his days holed up at his parents’ home in Chivasso with his three siblings, looking for other jobs. One day, he downloaded TikTok and started tinkering with it in his bedroom, posting videos of himself under the name Khaby Lame. And gradually, a surprising career was born. At first, like a lot of TikTokers, he created clips of himself dancing, watching video games or doing comedy stunts. Then, earlier this year, he began making fun of the life-hack videos that flood social media platforms — reacting to them with a wordless shrug or a look of exasperation — and he struck a chord. And Lame, 21, does it all without saying a word. On TikTok, his silence speaks volumes.
International social media star Khaby Lame has partnered with his first Indian brand
- International social media star Khaby Lame has partnered with his first Indian brand and netizens cannot stop talking about it.
- He is known for showing the easy way to do habitual things.
Khaby Lame, a Senegalese TikToker with a net worth of $2 million, was quick to rise to internet fame. According to media reports, this 21-year-old social media star charges $50,000 for a single promotional video on TikTok and is estimated to make $200,000 per month. Now, he has partnered with his first Indian brand and the internet cannot stop talking about it.
Dream11 roped in Khaby Lame to do what he does best; he performs a task, which a lot of social media users complicate, in the simplest way possible. His short comedy skits where he sarcastically and wordlessly ridicules people with his deadpan expressions, extended arms, and shake of the head, have become his trademark. Dream11’s video also features content creator Viraj Ghelani.
Ghelani is chilling with his friend on a Sunday afternoon. His friend picks up toothpicks to eat french fries like Wolverine. However, Ghelani frowns and calls the expert, Khaby to help teach his friend the easiest, simplest way to eat the fries. Khaby, without uttering a word, tells the audience to simply use their hands to eat fries and use their brains for other things, such as picking the right team on Dream11. He uses a placard to reiterate the message, ‘Dimaag Lagana Hai Toh Dream11 PeLaga Na.’
