Lamine Yamal and rapper Nicki Nicole caught kissing at a nightclub
The footballer and the singer left together after a night of partying.

BarcelonaFC Barcelona footballer Lamine Yamal and Argentine singer Nicki Nicole have been spotted kissing. Journalist Javi de Hoyos explains that this happened at a beach nightclub in the early hours of July 24. Nicole was one of the guests at Yamal's controversial 18th birthday party, held on July 13 at a mansion in Garraf with a theme inspired by the Italian mafia.
Hoyos explains that the couple showed no signs of romantic involvement during the birthday party, but claims that during a second outing they kissed and left together around 4:00 a.m. Nicki Nicole, real name Nicole Denise Cucco, is one of the most renowned urban artists on the Argentine music scene. She has collaborated with figures such as Bizarrap, Duki, and Rauw Alejandro and has been nominated for the Latin Grammys twice. In addition to the alleged kiss, other details have been detected that fuel the rumors, such as a photograph published by Yamal on the day of the match, in which a lipstick mark can be seen on his cheek. He attributed it to his mother, but some social media users suggest it could be hers.
At the same time, it is suggested that the photo on Yamal's phone background could be an image taken by the singer, identifiable by the same tiles on the wall that appear in her post. At the moment, neither of the two protagonists has publicly confirmed or denied the rumors, and there are no official statements proving a romantic relationship. However, the meeting between the 18-year-old Barcelona footballer and the 24-year-old singer has attracted media attention.
During the summer of 2024, the player was linked to the young influencer Álex Padilla, with whom he celebrated the Euro 2024 final in Berlin. They were photographed together on the field with the championship trophy, and Yamal dedicated the award to him. Padilla attended several games with the footballer's family and was part of the small group of people Yamal followed on his official TikTok account. Despite the media hype, neither of them ever confirmed their relationship, and over the months, the relationship faded without any formal announcement.
