Origins & content[]
Khaby was born in Dakar, Senegal. His family moved to a public housing complex in Chivasso, Italy, when he was one year old. Before he started to post on TikTok, Khaby worked as a CNC machine operator in a factory near Turin. He started posting when he was laid off in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
His first videos were of him dancing and reacting to video game footage. He started to rise in popularity when he started to use TikTok's stitch feature. His most famous series, #LearnFromKhaby, is of him silently reacting to life hacks and performing the same task in a simple basic manner. These videos often feature him with a stoic smile and his iconic shrug at the end.
