Blogger Xabi Leim is a charismatic black guy whose popularity on TikTok is rapidly gaining momentum. As of the beginning of this month, TikTok’s “top anti-lifehacker” had 87 million followers. At the time of publication of the article, more than 10 million fans were added to this number.
In July, Leim became the second most subscribed blogger on Tik Tok, with Charlie Damelio in first place . The main reason for Khabi’s popularity is funny videos in which he watches people complicating ordinary things with sarcasm and sincere bewilderment. The guy not only shows viewers that not all fashion hacks can be trusted, but also attracts fans with his funny reaction.
Early childhood and youth of Xabi Leim
Habi was born in the poor Republic of Senegal, West Africa, on March 9, 2000. A year later, the family moved to Italy in the commune of Chivasso, where the young man still lives. Interestingly, the blogger still has a Senegalese passport, not an Italian one, and is actively involved in paperwork in the hope of resolving the issue. According to Xabi, the difficulties are due to the fact that he is not a native of Italy.
Chivasso, the city where Xabi livesThe TikTok anti-lifehacker does not particularly spread about his family. It is known that his childhood was happy, the atmosphere in the house
was friendly and favorable. Italian sources write that Habi’s father is an entrepreneur, and his mother is a housewife. The guy has brothers and sisters, but their names are also not reported to the media. The family is Muslim.
As for hobbies during his school years, Leim enjoyed filming game videos. Perhaps the idea of becoming a vlogger is connected with this hobby. In addition, as a teenager, he played football, basketball, took part in competitions.
Xabi boasts an athletic physiqueAfter leaving school, Habi could not afford to continue his studies at an expensive college. In order not to depend on his parents, he went to the factory and became a CNC machine operator.
How Xabi Leim left the factory and became a TOP blogger
We all know how much the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the lives of mankind, and not for the better. But the dismissal from the factory, associated with a strict quarantine in Italy, was the impetus for further development for Xabi Leim. Caught in a difficult financial situation, the guy first recorded “videos like everyone else”, but they were not very popular. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the videos were signed in Italian. As you can see, the videos were filmed in a modest parental apartment:
And here is the very first such video that Leim shot:
Xabi began to develop his own branded theme only in April 2021, and from that moment he gained tremendous popularity.
TOP 7 coolest videos made by Xabi Leim
Consider the 7 most famous videos from Khabi and together with him we will be surprised, let’s say, by the naivety and confusion of people 😉
- One of the funniest videos, according to followers, was ridiculing the useless “life hack” with a glass:
- Habi then amused followers with a funny reaction to a video in which some guy breaks a cup to get a medical mask out of it. Why make it so difficult? 😊
- No less fans were “hooked” by the video in which the author of the “original” peels a banana … with a kitchen cleaver. So I want to make a “hand-face”! Instead, Khabi simply opens a banana to the camera in the usual way, with expressive facial expressions and a signature gesture:
- Yes, sometimes you can’t find anything on the net! The girl in the video pulls out a roll of toilet paper to start tearing off the paper… from the inside. Just Spanish shame – this is exactly the reaction from Xabi.
- And after this video, I just want to say to Khabi: “Thank you, Cap!” The author of the “original” noticed that his clothes were pinched by the car door, and for some reason cut his T-shirt. It’s amazing where only Xabi Leim finds such masterpieces.
- The further, the merrier! This time the blogger had to “teach” the girl who is chasing the guy how to open the door. It turns out that in this case it was simply not necessary to block it with your foot …
- Habi Leim did not forget to go through very strange “culinary life hacks”. The blogger reacted very violently to the proposal of the author of the video to make pizza with sour marmalade for children, showing the correct recipe for Italian pizza to the Italian anthem. The guy clearly urges people not to mock their national dish:
