Tik Tok star Khaby Lame has received Italian citizenship after many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 22-year-old, who counts 148 million followers on the social network, received Italian citizenship this Wednesday, in Chivasso, a municipality of Turin in Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lame moved to Italy from Senegal when he was a baby but due to the strict Italian rules he can only now obtain the citizenship of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Under Italian law, children who are born to foreign parents but live in Italy can apply for citizenship at age 18, a law that has been widely criticized as discriminatory against thousands of children who are culturally Italian but substance is denied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chivasso’s office organized a small intimate ceremony for the influencer. Asked how he felt now that he was officially an Italian citizen, Lame said, \u201cIt’s not that I didn’t feel Italian before, so very little has changed for me, apart from the fact that I can now be called an Italian with papers. “<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
