The most followed person on TikTok, Khaby Lame, has been deported from the United States.
Lame left the United States after being briefly detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement week for overstaying the terms of his visa.
Lame, whose real name is Serigne Khabane Lame, is a Senegalese- Italian TikToker known for his deadpan reactions to other videos.
His viral videos have earned him a following of more than 162 million.
On June 6, the TikToker was detained at the Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas for violating the terms of his visa, ICE said in a statement.
Lame, 25, had entered the U.S. on April 30 on a temporary visa. While in the country, Lame attended the Met Gala in New York City.

“Lame was granted voluntary departure June 6 and has since departed the U.S.,” an ICE spokesperson told reporters.
It’s unclear if he returned to Italy immediately.
As of Tuesday, Lame had posted an Instagram Story of himself in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Lame’s experience with immigration enforcement arrives as United States President Donald Trump directs local, state, and federal law enforcement to assist in carrying-out his long-promised mass deportation agenda.
He has not publicly commented on accusations of overstaying his visa.
