Khabane "Khaby" Lame (French: [kabi lamei], Italian: [ˈkaːbi ˈlamei]; born 9 March 2000) is a Senegalese-Italian influencer.

[20][21] According to Alessandro Riggio, the social media manager who signed Lame when he had only 1,000 Instagram followers, the TikToker was earning up to $750,000 per post and was on track to make $10 million by the end of 2022.

[22][23][24] Lame was a juror for the Cannes Festival alongside Rithy Panh in 2022, where he judged TikTok short films.

[28] Taylor Lorenz and Jason Horowitz of The New York Times have attributed Lame's success to his "universal exasperated everyman quality" and described his rise to fame as different from most TikTok stars in being "entirely organic".

Samir Chaudry, founder of The Publish Press, a newsletter focused on the creator economy, stated that Lame's appeal derived from his emphasizing "authenticity over production" and "not trying too hard".

[8] Christina Ferraz, founder of American marketing agency Thirty6Five, stated, "His exasperation is relatable, and feelings are universal."

[38] He also makes a brief, non-speaking cameo appearance in the 2024 action comedy film Bad Boys: Ride or Die.
