Social media icon Khaby Lame is making headlines after reports surfaced that he has sold the rights to his AI-generated digital clone in a groundbreaking deal valued at $975 million. The agreement, described by many online as straight out of Black Mirror, is said to allow a tech company to recreate Khaby’s likeness, expressions, and signature silent reactions using advanced artificial intelligence.
The move highlights a bold new frontier in influencer culture, where creators are no longer just brands but data, identities, and digital assets. Supporters see it as a genius power play that secures generational wealth while Khaby retains creative control. Critics, however, are raising ethical questions about identity ownership, consent, and how far AI should go in replicating real people.
Whether visionary or unsettling, one thing is clear: Khaby Lame may have just changed the rules of fame in the AI era without saying a single word, as always.
