It is a position that isn&#8217;t easy to achieve or maintain. Each year, the Tik Tok competition announces its king and queen. The competition gets tougher each year, as more people join the game, and people from different backgrounds compete for the coveted title. Here are the details of who made it to this year&#8217;s competition.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Zach_King\"><\/span>Zach King<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for internet sensations with a cult following, you&#8217;ve probably heard of Zach King. He&#8217;s one of the most popular YouTube stars and has been a Viner before, but has moved his talents to TikTok after the service was shut down. Zach was born in Portland, Oregon, and has been creating videos ever since he was seven years old. He studied at Biola University and graduated with a degree in Cinema and Media Arts.<\/p>\n<p>His success on TikTok has led to other social media platforms. His latest video, &#8220;Painted Man,&#8221; has been viewed over 2.1 billion times, becoming the most-viewed video on the social networking site. However, his rise to fame has been far from over. In fact, Zach King is only thirty-one years old when TikTok launches in January 2022. The internet personality has two younger sisters and an adopted Chinese sister. He once had a dog named Lucy. In December 2014, King married his wife Rachel Holm, a fashion designer. He proposed to Holm while making a fake video ad for her brand. In April 2015, he appeared on the 28th season of The Amazing Race and was named the TikTok king.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Riyaz_Aly\"><\/span>Riyaz Aly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the most popular social media stars in India, Riyaz Aly has been a part of several music videos and YouTube videos.

His older sister, Riza Afreen, also is an active TikTok star.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Addison\"><\/span>Addison<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Rae Addison is an American dancer and internet sensation who gained fame after posting dancing videos on TikTok. She has over 54 million followers and was the second most-followed user on the app at one point. Addison is the eldest child of three and hails from Lafayette, Louisiana. She started her TikTok career in July 2019 after graduating high school. Originally, she planned to study sports broadcast journalism at the Louisiana State University, but never completed her first semester. As soon as she reached one million followers on TikTok, she dropped out of LSU.<\/p>\n<p>After establishing herself as a TikTok sensation, Addison will also star in the Netflix remake of &#8220;She&#8217;s All That,&#8221; in which she will play an influencer who specialises in makeovers. Rae studied journalism at university, but also worked in television and broadcasting in LA. She has since become a successful TikTok reporter and co-founder of cosmetics brand Madeby.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Khaby_Lame\"><\/span>Khaby Lame<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Although it&#8217;s difficult to discern who is the most popular TikToker in the world, one of the most popular video stars is Khaby Lame. The young comedian, who is based in Italy on a Senegalese passport, has quickly become one of the most popular YouTube stars, with more than one hundred million views on his channel. He started with a video that poked fun at TikTok&#8217;s popular &#8220;life hack&#8221; genre, in which a man tries to accomplish a task in a short amount of time. However, Lame&#8217;s videos have received a lot of criticism, including criticism for his voice. The New York Times attributed his success to his ability to &#8220;emote to a global audience.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lame began posting videos mocking &#8216;life hack&#8217; videos, where he acts out ridiculous things and then tops them off with a shrug and a wide-eyed look. The success of his videos have prompted Lame to widen his comedy style and introduce friends and costumes to his videos. He has even been called the &#8220;tiktok king&#8221; and has inspired other TikTok creators to create their own videos.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Charli\"><\/span>Charli<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The young dancer, Charli D&#8217;Amelio, began making TikTok videos in 2019, and quickly gained a large following. She began with simple dance training videos of herself, and eventually graduated from dance classes to compete in online competitions. Charli&#8217;s videos have ranged from trending group dances to solo performances. However, her videos have largely taken the fun out of dancing.<\/p>\n<p>Among the biggest stars on TikTok, Khaby D&#8217;Amelio, Khaby Lame, and Charli D&#8217;Amelio are the top three most-followed creators. Both have large followings on the platform and have posted videos that highlight the stupidity of fellow content creators. Their videos often include wide-eyed looks, which are incredibly popular with TikTok users.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"492\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e3xYOhd0rEM\" height=\"275\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who is the Tik Tok King?
