What Happened to Khaby Lame? The Truth Behind Viral TikTok Accident Rumours

by

Khaby Lame, the popular TikTok creator famous for his silent comedy and signature hand movements, recently had fans worried after false reports of an accident spread online. While Khaby is one of TikTok’s biggest stars, he generally keeps his private life out of the public eye. These misleading reports began circulating in October 2025 and caused widespread panic among his followers.

Viral rumours about Khaby Lame’s accident

Earlier this month, rumors spread online – on platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and X (formerly Twitter) – claiming that TikTok star Khaby Lame had died in a car accident. These posts often included pictures of a damaged car, falsely suggesting it was involved in the accident. Because Khaby Lame is so well-known worldwide and doesn’t post updates on social media every day, the rumors quickly gained traction, receiving thousands of reactions and shares.

Reuters and Snopes fact-checkers verified that reports about an incident involving Khaby Lame are false. These claims originated from websites designed to attract clicks or trick people into sharing personal information. News sources quickly debunked the rumors, confirming that Khaby Lame is safe and sound.

Here’s what actually happened

When rumors started spreading, many fans were shocked. One fan said they felt relieved when they heard the rumors weren’t true, but were still stunned by the initial news. Another fan expressed similar feelings, saying they were shocked at first but glad it turned out to be false.

BBC Trending notes that fake reports about celebrities dying are happening more and more often. These hoaxes are usually attempts by scammers to get people to click on links or share their personal details. Recently, a false claim circulated that Khaby Lame had died after an accident. However, fans quickly confirmed this wasn’t true, stating he is alive and well. There have been no legitimate news reports or official announcements about his death, and the rumors have been proven false. Lame continues to be active on social media and in public.

I first discovered Khaby Lame back in 2020, and his story really resonated with me. He was born in Senegal and grew up in Italy, and like so many others, he lost his job when the pandemic hit. That’s when he started making these hilarious TikTok videos – the best part is, he doesn’t even *need* to talk! His comedy is totally visual and everyone, no matter where they’re from, just *gets* it. It’s amazing how he’s gained over 160 million followers worldwide! What I really admire, though, is that despite all the fame, he keeps things about his personal life very private, which is so refreshing to see.

I’ve been following Khaby Lame since the beginning, and I learned last year that he actually got married! It was a low-key wedding to this amazing model, Wendy Thembelihle Juel. Before that, though, I remember reading he was engaged to an Italian influencer named Zaira Nucci, but they broke up before he became the superstar he is today. From what I can tell now, he’s currently single and putting all his energy into his career, which is fantastic to see.
