The following list looks at some of the biggest stars on TikTok. These celebrities include Will Smith, Jason Derulo, Gregg, and Zach King. Which of them has the biggest following? And which of them is on the way up? This article will take a closer look at each.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Zach_King\"><\/span>Zach King<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The king of TikTok is none other than Zachary Michael King, an American Internet personality. Previously a Vine video creator, King gained a massive fan base within thirty days of posting his first video. In 2016, King switched to TikTok to create short videos featuring his magic tricks. Currently, he has over 66 million followers and is regarded as one of the most influential YouTube personalities of all time.<\/p>\n<p>Zach King is currently the king of TikTok with the most viewed video. This digital magician has created videos with high engagement rates and huge followings. His virality stems from his skills as a storyteller and his ability to combine humor and sleight of hand. His videos often leave viewers wondering, &#8220;How did he do that?&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Will_Smith\"><\/span>Will Smith<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Will Smith has been a popular figure on TikTok since his account was created, but he has since slipped to fifth place after slapping Chris Rock at the 2022 Academy Awards. Nevertheless, Smith has been a constant presence in the world of social media in the days that followed. Charli D&#8217;Amelio and Addison Rae are almost synonymous with TikTok fame. The two stars are best known for their dance choreography videos, and they&#8217;ve both built their YouTube followings off their TikTok success.<\/p>\n<p>Will Smith has embraced social media late in his career. This newfound popularity has led to him embracing weird memes and shooting a number of TikTok videos engineered to go viral. The videos have become a major part of his brand. He&#8217;s become a global celebrity with a number of followings on Instagram, YouTube and TikTok. Despite his late start in social media, Smith has remained devoted to the concept, and it has paid off for him.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jason_Derulo\"><\/span>Jason Derulo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As the current king of TikTok, Jason Derulo has partnered with many other high-profile users on the platform. These artists include Dixie D&#8217;Amelio, Addison Rae, and the Lopez Brothers. In addition, Derulo has collaborated with Gen Z creators, who have been largely ignored by mainstream artists. It&#8217;s interesting to note that Derulo has chosen to align himself with the more successful TikTok creators instead of creating content on his own.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to making hilarious videos, Derulo has also dabbled in acting. He recently appeared in the psychedelic musical Cats, which got a lot of negative comments, and has now gone on to become the current king of TikTok. In his latest video, Derulo jokes about knocking out his critics online. But in reality, Derulo doesn&#8217;t seem to care what people think of him.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gregg\"><\/span>Gregg<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Since Gregg&#8217;s debut as a TikTok star, his video popularity has grown to such an extent that he has now earned more than $1 million. The current TikTok king has become such a successful phenomenon that Simon &amp; Schuster have published his autobiography, titled Backstory: My Life So Far. His autobiography has received high praise from both fans and critics alike, and is set to become one of the most popular books in the world.<\/p>\n<p>Avani Gregg is an American influencer with an estimated net worth of $3 million. Her main sources of income are social media, acting, and brand endorsements. However, she was banned from the TikTok platform this year after lip-syncing a homophobic slur in a Young Thug video. Gregg has since deleted the video. Her recent success has only made her more popular and she is now the 25th most popular TikToker in the world.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"213\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0asiedSv5dE\" width=\"381\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who is the Current King of TikTok?
