In one of Khabane Lame's TikTok videos from last year, he reacted to a clip of someone using scissors to open a container of milk. To show how it's done, Lame simply peeled a milk carton open and poured the liquid into a glass while smiling goofily at the camera.

It's a simple act, something most people do every day. But the video has over 8 million likes. On Wednesday, Lame, 22, surpassed 18-year-old Charli D'Amelio to become the most-followed TikToker in the world. While D'Amelio currently has 142.2 million followers on the app, Lame now has a following of 142.6 million.
