Recent buzz on social media indicates that the rumored romance between 16-year-old Lamine Yamal and Argentine rapper Nicki Nicole has come to an end just 13 days after their relationship was initially reported. According to Latin American media, the 25-year-old artist is believed to have found a new “muse” in 18-year-old Franco Mastantuono, a talented midfielder who recently joined Real Madrid from River Plate.
This development has sparked tension, especially given that Mastantuono is not only a peer of Yamal but also a direct rival on the field, as they both play for rival teams—Yamal for Barcelona and Mastantuono for Real Madrid. Fans have taken to social media to humorously comment on the swift change in Nicki Nicole’s affections, with one quip noting, “13 days, not even two weeks,” while another joked, “Nicole changes partners more often than I take a shower.”
However, a significant portion of fans has dismissed the rumors, recalling that Mastantuono has been in a long-term relationship with Fio Augustinelli. Despite the speculation, none of the involved parties, including Yamal, Mastantuono, or Nicole, have publicly addressed the circulating gossip. Lamine Yamal’s father, Mounir Nasraoui, even downplayed the situation, stating, “These are childish things. I don’t know her, nor do I know what she looks like.”
Nicki Nicole, whose real name is Nicole Denise Cucco, is a prominent figure in the Latin music scene, boasting over 22 million followers on Instagram and nearly 18 million monthly listeners on Spotify. The connection between the young soccer stars and the singer has undoubtedly captured the public’s attention, but as of now, it remains a speculative narrative, with little confirmation from those involved. The unfolding drama emphasizes the intersections of celebrity culture, social media, and the ever-watchful eyes of fans eager for the latest updates on their favorite figures.
