The relationship between FC Barcelona’s young prodigy, Lamine Yamal, and renowned Argentine singer Nicki Nicole has captured the attention of the media and social media in recent weeks, but not exactly for their music or sporting achievements. What seemed to be a promising romance between the 18-year-old soccer star and the 25-year-old rapper has quickly crumbled, just two weeks after the two went public with their relationship. According to rumors that have swept digital platforms, the breakup could be related to Nicki Nicole’s alleged infidelity with Franco Mastantuono, the young Argentine star who has recently arrived at Real Madrid. This unexpected love triangle has generated a whirlwind of speculation, comments, and criticism, especially on social media, where fans of both have been quick to react.

It all started when Lamine Yamal and Nicki Nicole were spotted together at a hotel during a vacation in Monaco, a moment that sparked rumors of a possible relationship. Shortly after, the young soccer player publicly confirmed their relationship by sharing an image on his Instagram Stories on August 25, celebrating the singer’s birthday with flowers, a heart, and a photo of the two holding hands. This post, although short-lived due to the Instagram Stories format, was interpreted as an official declaration of their romance. Furthermore, Nicki Nicole was seen wearing a Barcelona jersey with Yamal’s number and attending a team game, further fueling speculation about the seriousness of their relationship.

However, the excitement was short-lived. Just 13 days after making their relationship public, followers noticed that Lamine Yamal had deleted the photos he shared with Nicki Nicole from his Instagram account, including those referencing her birthday. Furthermore, the young man changed his profile picture to a black background, leaving only a brief description in his bio: “LY10 – God bless me.” These moves did not go unnoticed and sparked a wave of rumors about a possible breakup. Some social media users were quick to mock the brief romance, with comments like “a relationship that lasted only 13 days” or “the most fleeting love in football.”

Amid this commotion, a theory emerged that has captured the media’s attention, especially in Argentina. According to entertainment journalist Marcela Tauro, Yamal and Nicki Nicole’s breakup was motivated by the singer’s alleged relationship with Franco Mastantuono, the 17-year-old talent who recently signed for Real Madrid from River Plate. This speculation has added a dramatic twist to the story, as Mastantuono and Yamal are not only rivals on the pitch, representing the two most iconic clubs in LaLiga, but are now also reportedly at odds with each other on a personal level. According to reports, Nicki Nicole began getting closer to Mastantuono shortly after his arrival in Spain, which led to an argument with Yamal and, ultimately, the breakup.

Despite the intensity of the rumors, neither Lamine Yamal, Nicki Nicole, nor Franco Mastantuono have issued official statements to confirm or deny these accusations. This lack of comment has left room for speculation, which has multiplied on platforms like Twitter and Instagram. Some users have harshly criticized Nicki Nicole, calling her a “botinera” (a term used in Argentina to describe women who pursue relationships with soccer players) and questioning her commitment to her musical career. Others, however, have defended her right to privacy and called for respect for the unconfirmed speculation.

For his part, Mounir Nasraoui, Lamine Yamal’s father, has attempted to downplay the issue. In a recent interview, Nasraoui downplayed his son’s relationship with the singer, stating: “It’s just boy stuff. I don’t know who she is, I don’t even know her face, I don’t know if they’re dating or not. I listen to urban music from the United States.” These statements, far from calming the waters, have added fuel to the debate, with some users interpreting them as an attempt to distance himself from the controversy.

Meanwhile, Lamine Yamal remains focused on his career with FC Barcelona and the Spanish national team, where he continues to stand out as one of the most promising players in world football. Nicki Nicole, meanwhile, has reportedly returned to Argentina to celebrate her birthday with her family and has not commented on her personal life. Franco Mastantuono, who has yet to make his official debut with Real Madrid due to regulations that prevent underage players from training with the first team, has also chosen to remain silent.

The truth is that this romantic soap opera has captured the attention of football and entertainment fans alike, fueling the rivalry between Barcelona and Real Madrid off the field. Without concrete evidence to confirm the alleged infidelity, the story remains a rumor that nonetheless continues to generate headlines. While those involved remain silent, social media continues to be the main stage for this narrative, where every gesture, post, or deleted photo is scrutinized in search of clues about the true outcome of this love triangle.
