00:04Kaby Lame, a 25-year-old Senegalese and Italian influencer,

00:08is a big name on social media,

00:10boasting the highest follower count in the world on TikTok.

00:15But on Friday, the social media star was seen playing football

00:19on a soapy inflatable field with children in Brazil.

00:24It's surreal.

00:26I don't think I would have ever expected this

00:28or even imagined that he could come to my city.

00:31The moment I found out, I thought,

00:33I have to go, even if it's just to take a photo from afar,

00:36something like that, just to have the feeling

00:38that I met the greatest TikToker in the world.

00:45taking place in the city of Americana,

00:47just north of Sao Paulo.

00:53To the screams of excited children,

00:54the influencer attended the event

00:56alongside AC Milan footballer Emerson Royal,

00:59who grew up in Americana.

01:05He is a global figure,

01:08one of the biggest on social media worldwide,

01:10and he came to make children happy.

01:12So today is a special day for them.

01:15I'm sure Kaby will return to Italy very happy,

01:17and Emerson Royal will be very happy to provide this

01:21for the children of the city where he lived.

01:26Lame's trip to Brazil follows a run-in

01:28with US immigration authorities just days earlier.

01:32The influencer was detained by immigration agents

01:34at the airport in Las Vegas
