Recent developments have fans and media buzzing over the possibility that Argentine singer‑rapper Nicki Nicole and Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal may be more than friends. At the center of the speculation are several moments suggesting a growing closeness between the two.

Journalist Javi de Hoyos revealed that the pair were seen kissing at a beachside nightclub on July 24, shortly after Nicki attended Yamal’s 18th birthday celebration. The two reportedly left together in the early morning hours . Observers point to additional cues: Yamal posted a photo showing a lipstick mark on his cheek, which he attributed to his mother—but many interpreted differently.

Further fueling speculation, Nicki Nicole attended the Joan Gamper Trophy match at Johan Cruyff Stadium wearing Yamal’s Barcelona jersey. She sat among his family and friends, amplifying discussion among supporters and commentators . An Instagram Story inadvertently revealed what appeared to be a photo of Nicki Nicole as Yamal’s phone lock screen, a detail that became another talking point among fans .

Despite growing speculation, neither Nicki Nicole nor Lamine Yamal have confirmed the romantic rumors. Some reports suggest that Nicki’s appearance in the stands may have been part of a cultural collaboration, as Barcelona club executives presented her and producer Bizarrap with personalized jerseys as part of a marketing initiative aiming to strengthen ties with Argentine music and young audiences .
