Silent TikTok star Khaby Lame stuns Internet with his real voice: 'Brings tears to eyes to see him talk'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Popular TikTok content creator Khaby Lame went viral on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) after a recent video showed him speaking at a sporting event, LadBible reported on Sunday, February 16.

Lame became a celebrity on social media by creating short videos where he stays completely silent and debunks overly complicated 'life hacks'.

The premise of his skits is predominantly him demonstrating a simpler way to perform everyday tasks instead of trying various 'hacks', and signing off with a signature hand gesture.

The skits paid off the Italian-Senegalese content creator big-time, as he reportedly became one of the most followed creators on TikTok, earning collaborations with the likes of Hugo Boss and Fortnite, and a chance to wordlessly interview Hollywood stars Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx for their latest film, 'Back in Action.'

Khaby Lame speaks on camera in rare revelation of his voice

The 24-year-old social media celebrity has rarely been caught speaking on camera, but a clip uploaded by Sports Centre on Friday, February 14, revealed what his voice actually sounded like to netizens.

The video showed Lame standing beside American content creator Druski in a celebrity All-Star basketball game and being coaxed by him to deliver a pregame speech to inspire the player.

As expected of him, Lame made his speech brief and to the point, telling players, "Let's win guys."

Bruski trolls him back in the video, saying, "Never mind. Let it go, man, let it go."

Lame reportedly shared his reason for not talking in his videos in an earlier interview with CNN, saying, "I came up with the idea because I was seeing these videos circulating, and I liked the idea of bringing some simplicity to it. The type of gesture came by chance, but the silence didn’t. I thought of a way to reach as many people as possible. And the best way was not to speak."

Internet reacts to hearing Khaby Lame's voice

Netizens were taken aback to hear Lame speak and voiced their disbelief on X. The following tweets demonstrate their takes.

"Khaby talks??" wrote a user.

"I have never heard his voice before," shared another.

"Was that khaby's voice?" asked a third.

"HE SPEAKS?!?!" echoed a fourth.

Lame also surprised fans back in 2022 when he spoke with Nas Daily in an interview. Back then, a fan exclaimed, "It's so good to hear from you khaby!!!"

"Brings tears to eyes to see him talk," stated another.

"Oh Khaby... Nice voice, an incredible accent and fascinating smile," noted yet another.
