He should of not expected it how dare them now he’s famous
Wow they took in the most smart and self made guy on internet 😎👍 hope he stays there🤌😜
Well that’s great may he continue to be blessed there
If you’re famous citizenship is just a piece of paper
nonsense they understand they can use him and can profit on him.
OMG He 🗣 speaks 🤣🤣🤣🤣
long time coming, he absolutely deserves it
After he became famous they gave him Citizenship, before that he was Immigrant 😬😬😬 I can’t
Revenues from his TikTok’s video means more tax money for Italian government
Better than the so called Arab World
A lot of people get italian citizenship that are not famous,you just need to follow the process
Do you have It ?
He is very handsome. I wish he had been my husband
I’m from morocco ‘ I would never accept a citizenship of another country’ cause I was born as a moroccan and I die as a moroccan’ I could never be someone else.
Now he can invite his enter family and extended family, and tribe over. And they will culturally enrich the town in which they live. 😊
Become a famous you get upgraded to Italian Greek French citizens. If you’re nothing you’re just an African immigrant without no paper
Who the Fck are you bro? I’ve never even heard of you.
I came to the UK ages 1 in the year 2001 June 6th. Been in the country all my life since then only a couple times have I travelled out. When I was giving leave you remain in 2012. I’ve almost graduated university and 22 years old I am not a British citizen. Nor am I eligible to apply right now. It truly is a long process and really isn’t worth it.
Happy for him but my heart goes to those African immigrants in Italy whose invincible contributions go unnoticed and after 20+ years still lack the necessary documentation to secure their future and citizenship.
Khaby this time should use this platform to address this impunity.
They should go back warya wadankii ina u noqono waaye
Only give citizenship to important people who put you on the map. Anyway God blessing is unlimited
🤣🤣🤣 They just want the taxes
If Italy wasn’t going to grant Khaby Italian citizenship as he deserved, USA 🇺🇸 was open to the idea when he was granted permanent residency by dept of Homeland Security.
So Italy gives citizenship if you become famous 🤦♂️
No. He applied for it. Genius.
The most unfunny an talentless person on the platform
Now as he is beneficial to them, they grant it to him…hilarious
I was born in Germany from Italian parents and lived 66 years there. When I tried to apply for German citizenship in my early 20s, they put a price tag corresponding to 3 months worth of income on it. I opted for my first used car and never looked back. Now the cost is down to around 150 Euros, but as an bavarian peculiarity, I would have to drop my Italian passport. In other federal states you may hold dual citizenship, which is why Turkish politicians hold elections rallies in Germany.
In contrast when I married my wife she received an Italian passport on the spot and could keep her german citizenship.
So whoever thinks Italy is fussy about citizenship should broaden his horizon.
Germany is the best Country, I am an Indian lives in Germany but I am missing Indian foods, My family The Indian gov doesn’t provide dual citizenship that is bad thing
@Donato Casagrande Your English is fantastic like your native one how many languages do you speak?
@Anas khan Thank you, I just couldn’t resist teasing the faceless username garbling troll…
Just because you asked: I speak German, Italian and English…more or less.
@Donato Casagrande Impressive. But I’m not so desperate to copy and paste Google Translate here.
So super proud of him
Wow!!!! Nice to see Down to earth YouTuber Like you, May God Bless You.
You everywhere now U my potato
European and its hypocrisy. You have to stand out before recognition.
What talent
Who wanna be an Italian citizen anyway? What’s in Italy? That place looks boring
Since about age 2, he was never granted citizenship. He’s now earning millions, hence he has to be given citizenship. It’s it funny 😸
If your parents are not Italians, you can only apply for citizenship at the age of 18, like my Bosnian friend did.
Italy 🇮🇹 is perhaps great country 👏
Finally this guy can talk
Just so you know each country has their rule for CITIZENSHIP so if you’re eligible to apply I don’t see why
Take ITALY for example immigrants born IN,ARISED in country AND UP TO 18yrs urs can apply
Why give him citizenship NOW ?? Because he is famous and white people can appropriate that pride ? He lived his life in slums as a non citizen. State of Italy did not care. Clearly now everyone wants a piece of the pie. LOL Hypocritical !
People in the comments are talking s*** …
He APPLIED for citizenship.
He should have taken his millions else where
Time to pay that tax since he’s making serious money.
Having never heard his voice, I assumed he was from America or the UK
Congratulations brother 🎉🍾
At least do it secretly. Changing your citizenship is not something to brag about. I know this is his life but if he is already making money why changing his citizenship(publicly)?? Not a good example for kids in his country. Funny guy tho, I like him 👍
😄😄😄 all for the money 🤑
MY BROTHER YOU ARE STILL A SENEGALESE BECAUSE WE ARE ALL IMMIGRANT IN ITALY AND ONE DAY WE ARE GOING BACK HOME TO THE MOTHERLAND. GOOD LUCK AND MORE FAME , MORE MONEY INSHA ALLAH. GREETINGS FROM LOMBARDY REGION
It’s what they do once the AFRICAN becomes popular they want to claim him,they would have never given him that citizenship if it weren’t for his success
His videos are cringe.
Just get out from there mate
What a great contribution to the Italian society! I’m sure he did a lot to deserve this!
He lived all of his life in Italy, he worked there and was a part of society, although all of what he’s known for is just bunch of useless internet videos, he granted himself more wealth and importance than most of Italian citizens without doing harm
His taxes are more then enough contribution.
Whoever thinks he’s funny needs to get their brain checked
Hahaha. Italian citizen wearing a t-shirt with an American flag.
ofc he got money and italy government seems to love money so why not get him on board 😂
Those racist countries always work with stars only. May GOD give them his judge
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Why do Africans hate there country so much they leave as soon as they can
So what you doing and will do for your birth place Senegal.??
Unbelievable all those years he lived he wasn’t he couldn’t be seen as one but now that he’s famous they are giving it to him 😅
The only immigrant that the Italian will accept him to be Italian I guess 😅.
Smart move there Italy. Now he will be known as the Italian TikToker and not the Senegalese born TikToker…
If I was hem I will never get the Italian passport so rubbish
How long does it take you to become a citizen of italy ?
He is a Millionaire, he can be a citizen Of any country in the world if he wishes to, NO News here!
When will he repay africa if hes living in italy ?
Good for him
first time I heard his voice!
TikTok is smart. The Chinese company is subtly encouraging Africans to migrate to Europe.
They may expecting that he will buy wine for all of them, racist people.
Italy trying to control fallout from the killing of the month.
his videos sucks and dumb, i never liked this stupid reaction.
Italians will get rid of him the moment a religious conflict happens.
How many tik tok followers do I need to become an Italian citizen
Now he’s African Italian.
Because now he has money that’s why he get citizenship 😁
Nothing special, leaving his own nationality would not make him an Italian, he will and always being called an African. Proud to African !!!! Never forget your origin !!
We all are Italian but we don’t know it….
The problem is that we are poor…..
The law is f***up. Even if he’s born there, he has to be raised there. So if his parents are illegal, he’s gonna suffer for 18 years as a child.
Anyway the idea of CITIZENSHIP is a global SCAM. It was created to divide the world, control the people and distribute the privileges.
I was here when this guy spoke for the first time 👍
For black guy or a muslim this is the only way to get citizenship.
White guy just go to the office and sign the papers. That’s it
So well deserved. Please don’t blow it away and stay in Europe..👍👌👌
Amazing
First time me hearing him speak
0:39 Oh on the contrary Mon Amie, there is a very big difference: you can’t be deported now.
These European countries do this all the time. They only love you when you are famous. Where were you when they were struggling?!?! Seen it Giannis Antetokounmpo in Greece, now with Khaby
That’s sad that you have to become famous to have a shot lol… Italy is one of the most racist countries I lived in.
Everyone can love you when the sun 🌞 is shining
Unless he does the hand gesture. I’ll never consider him an Italian
Dumb! Why do this when you can afford to buy a passport from St.Kitts, Granada, and Mauritius and live freely plus tax-free. They did this to take your money
Black ppl can’t be ordinary, we have to be extraordinary just to get the ordinary things… 🤦🏾♂️
Italy ain’t the one
Canada provides lots of ways to be Canadian, 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 oh Canada!
Which Italian clan adopted him to become Italiano?
He should go back to Senegal there were he proudly belongs to
Super happy for him but let’s be clear, he was only granted Italian citizenship due to his celebrity. Italians of Magrebi and African ancestry are rarely granted citizenship because Italy goes by blood and not soil.
The hypocrisy ….🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
They did him wrong with that thumbnail tho
Another African leaving their homeland for Europe
Cry
Dont see as a big achivement. Italy a rubbish country and racist. They doing it only coz his famoud lets c if they do it regular ppl.
Many have moved to UK due to that
Bro they want your tax money 🤣
To get citizenship you have to apply and there are requirements, I think the reason why he wasn’t eligible before or didn’t apply before was because of the financial requirements, you have to have a certain amount of income to apply for citizenship in any country and as he stated in the video he was from a low socio economic background but we all know how he rose to fame through his videos and well he now met the financial requirements applied and was granted. He wasn’t given it becomes he is famous or anything it also has nothing to do with racism, it’s just that to apply you have to meet some criteria and those who don’t are not granted citizenship
This is a disgrace . first congratulations to him i applaud him for his achievement , but why grant him the citizenship now after all those years , let me answer that to you , well he is rich now and the Italian officials want their cut in form of taxes, if i were him i wouldn’t take it and i would apply for a Caribbean citizenship so i won’t pay them a dime.
Europe for Europeans!
He will never be a real Italian
