WEB DESK: 16-year-old Charli D’Amelio has become the first TikTok user to gain 100 million subscribers, in record time.
After posting countless videos on TikTok for over a year, Charli D’Amelio, from Norwalk, Connecticut, secured 100 million subscribers.
Her recording breaking achievement took place just days after a dispute over her video scandal went viral.
During the first episode of her family’s new reality series, Dinner with the D’Amelios, fans proclaimed that the TikTok star disrespected the personal chef, Aaron May, who cooked their dinner.
In disapproval, over 600,000 fans unfollowed her and flooded her social media accounts with hateful comments.
