"Dear Khaby Lame, I wanted to reassure you that the decree granting Italian citizenship was already issued in early June by the Ministry of the Interior. You will soon be contacted by local institutions for notification and the oath. Good luck".
Thus the Undersecretary of the Interior, Carlo Sibilia, responds with a tweet to the most followed Tiktoker in the world who complained that he still does not have Italian citizenship.
Khaby Lame, the young man who started posting silent videos on TikTok during the pandemic from Chivasso (Turin) has become the most followed character in the world on TikTok, with 142.4 million followers.
With his ironic and comic films, without the need for a spoken language, he surpassed Charli D'Amelio (142.2 million), an American dancer who posts choreographies with trendy songs.
Khaby Lame, 22, born in Dakar and arrived in Italy when he was one year old, became famous with the social network, reaching such popularity that he was named as a juror in the section dedicated to tiktokers at the Cannes festival.
An experience that made him say he wanted to try cinema, after working as a worker in Turin and being fired in March 2020, with the Covid 19 pandemic.
