Where many big video makers use high-quality cameras, intoxicating music, and carefully plan their lighting, Lame frequently just sits in front of the camera. He doesn't bother to optimize the lighting, use color filters or edit his videos at all, which lends an air of authenticity.
In an interview with TikTok, Khaby said, “Since my childhood, I am passionate about entertaining and making people laugh, and I am thankful to TikTok for being my creative home and helping me reach people across the world. I will continue working to achieve my dreams as I can count on a beautiful community ready to cheer me on.”
