1. Khabane Lame
Followers: 148.5 Million
On 22 June 2022, Khabane Lame aka @khaby.lame became the most followed person on Tiktok surpassing the influencer sensation Charli D’amelio ending her prolonged regime of being at the top. This is the perfect proof of the uncertainty of the platform, Khaby only made fun of some stupid viral videos in a creative way without saying a word or having a great camera or edit quality and he becomes the most followed. But his sarcastic approach towards the ‘too-formal’ areas of the internet is commendable and many say that he deserves to be at the top.
