Photos: Check out the most followed person on TikTok, Khaby Lame from Senegal

Khaby Lame is officially the King of TikTok. 

The Sengalese-born social media star has overtaken Charli D'Amelio to become the social media platform's most-followed content creator, with an eye-popping 142.4 million followers. 

His accomplishment comes after months of fans campaigning to get him to the top with hashtags like #KhabyToNumberOne. 

The TikToker is best known for his deadpan responses to supposed 'life hacks', in which he'd stitch a clip of an elaborate DIY solution to an everyday problem with a video of himself taking a much more straightforward and easy approach. His hilariously unamused facial expressions made him an instant hit on the platform, where he gained over 15 million followers in just a few weeks per Social Tracker. Alongside his popular videos, Lame has become a celebrity in his own right outside of TikTok. 

This January, he signed a multi-year partnership with fashion house Hugo Boss, and was featured in their 'BeYourOwnBoss' campaign. 

Lame's rise to the top comes two years after viral dance creator D'Amelio beat out Loren Gray to become the most popular person on the platform with 41 million followers. 

Since then, the 18-year-old's fame has amassed millions more followers as well as appearances in feature films and her own reality show on Hulu. 

But that wasn't enough to stop Lame from stealing her crown and becoming the platform's number one creator.
