dailyloe.com – Viral social media posts claiming TikTok star Khaby Lame secured a $10 million divorce settlement from his ex-wife’s assets are false. The rumors suggested his assets were protected under his father’s name, but these claims have been debunked. The story incorrectly referenced a strategy similar to footballer Achraf Hakimi’s high-profile divorce case.
Khaby Lame, whose real name is Khabane Serigne Lame, married Wendy Thembelihle Juel in a traditional ceremony in Senegal in November 2023. The couple separated in June 2024, with the settlement details kept private from the public. His manager, Nicola Paparusso, later confirmed the separation to Vanity Fair the following month.
Paparusso stated the reason for the split was ‘unexpected and irreconcilable character incompatibility.’ He also clarified that no civil divorce procedure was needed. This was because their Senegalese ceremony was a ‘Muslim religious rite,’ not a civil marriage.
The false rumors gained traction online following news of Lame’s major business deal. In January 2026, he sold his business and AI likeness to Hong Kong-based Rich Sparkle Holdings. That deal was reportedly worth $975 million.
Netizens initially praised the TikToker for seemingly protecting his fortune. However, reports confirm the narrative about asset protection and a $10 million settlement is fabricated. The couple’s actual separation was handled privately without the dramatic financial claims spread online.[]
