On the other hand, Amelio's Instagram account has more than 42 million followers. This shows that she is not only popular on TikTok, but she is also famous on IG and other giant online platforms.

Meanwhile, Allure's exclusive interview with the well-known TikToker also revealed that she wanted to pursue her dancing career.

"I've been a competition dancer my entire life. I know a lot of people don't know that I study dance outside of TikTok, but it is something that I definitely want to do more of," said Charli.

Who Is the Most Popular TikToker Right Now?

Business Insider reported that Khabane Lame's is the most popular TikToker right now. He was able to surpass Amelio's popularity. However, he is still short when it comes to followers.

Lame started late as a Tiktok influencer. He began his career as an online star just recently, in March 2020. Although this is the case, his unique content was still able to garner a lot of views in just a short period.

As of the moment, the Italian influencer has more than 1.2 billion likes on the giant platform. Most of his videos are about criticizing different kinds of DIYs and other related objects. Khabane usually shows how you can do certain activities without using extravagant products.

On the other hand, his emotionless reaction even adds up to how entertaining his content is.
