Barcelona's Spanish team captain Ronald Araújo revealed a new aspect of his young teammate Lamine Yamal's life after sharing a video on his "Instagram" account showing Yamal's phone with a picture of the famous Argentine singer Nicky Nicole as his wallpaper, which sparked widespread controversy and reignited rumors of a romantic relationship between them.
Lamine Yamal, who recently celebrated his eighteenth birthday at a controversial party, was not without strange details, as dwarfs were used during the celebrations, and the atmosphere of the party and the attendees' discussions about a potential relationship between him and the Argentine star Nicky Nicole, who is six years older than him, raised eyebrows.
The video posted by Araújo, which was originally intended to highlight the shiny shoes Yamal was wearing, revealed the intriguing background on the player's phone screen, causing followers to focus on this image that confirms the circulating talks.
Nicky Nicole, whose real name is Nicole Denis Cocco, is a prominent singer in South America and was born in Rosario, the hometown of Lionel Messi, and she is one of the most notable contemporary Argentine artists.
Last week, the newspaper "Marca" reported on the existence of a relationship between Yamal and Nicky Nicole, noting their attendance together at the player's birthday party, and then heading together to a nightclub on the coast in Barcelona, before leaving together at dawn.
In light of these developments, Spanish official authorities have opened an investigation into the events of Lamine Yamal's birthday party after receiving reports related to a potential violation of disability law, following the organization of controversial performances that used dwarfs in a manner considered offensive by some.
