Up to the age of fourteen, Khaby attended Italian schools when his parents decided to temporarily transfer him to a Quranic school close to Dakar. Before losing his job in March 2020, Lame worked as a CNC machine operator at a manufacturer close to Turin.
After he was laid off during the COVID-19 pandemic, Khaby started posting on TikTok. His early videos included him playing computer games and dancing. He became well-known for his video reactions to films of complicated “life hacks” using TikTok’s “duet” and “stitch” features, in which he executes the identical chore in an uncomplicated manner, silently, before making his signature hand signal. He beat Addison Rae to become the second-most followed personality on TikTok in April 2021, overtaking Gianluca Vacchi as the most popular Italian on the app. In August 2021, Lame made a guest appearance as Manuel Locatelli’s co-star in Juventus F.C.

With 142.1 million followers on June 22, 2022, Lame surpassed Charli D’Amelio as the most popular TikTok creator. In 2023, Lame was chosen to serve as a jury member for the television competition Italia’s Got Talent.
According to Taylor Lorenz and Jason Horowitz of The New York Times, Lame’s success may be credited to his “universal exasperated everyman quality” and that it was “entirely organic” as opposed to other TikTok performers’ climb to stardom. Lame’s attraction, according to Samir Chaudry, author of The Publish Press, a periodical devoted to the creative economy, came from his emphasis on “authenticity over production” and “not trying too hard.” Thirty6Five creator Christina Ferraz said, “His exasperation is relatable, and feelings are universal.” Lame has noted that his amusing facial expressions and his quietness, which he has referred to as “a way to reach as many people as possible,” are the reasons for his fame. Six of the top 25 videos on TikTok as of January 2023 are his.
