TikTok star Khaby Lame has finally been granted Italian citizenship years after moving to the country from Senegal as an infant. According to Independent, a UK publication, the 22-year-old content creator took his oath of citizenship last week on Wednesday in Chiavasso, a municipality northeast of Turin in Italy.
Speaking to Al Jazeera English, Lame, who enjoys over 148 million followers on TikTok, noted that nothing much has changed since officially becoming an Italian citizen, saying he has always felt like an Italian from the word go.
