Madrid, Spain – The breakup bombshell just got a brutal sequel. Argentine reggaeton queen Nicki Nicole, 25, didn’t just confirm her split from Barcelona’s teenage sensation Lamine Yamal, 18 – she torched him live on Instagram Sunday night, spilling tea that’s got the soccer world in a savage spin. In a candid IG Live from a Buenos Aires rooftop bash, Nicole let slip: “Lamine Yamal is weak like a child and I like mature, successful people like Kylian Mbappé.” The mic-drop line, laced with a wink and a sip of Malbec, has detonated #NickiBurnsYamal to 4.7 million posts on X in under 24 hours.
The timing? Nuclear. Yamal’s “amicable” breakup confirmation hit feeds Saturday via Spanish journo Javi Hoyos: “We’re not together anymore – no infidelity, just parted ways.” But Nicole? Unfiltered fire. Flanked by gal-pals, she gushed about Mbappé’s “masculinity and strength” post-split: “Kylian’s got that winner’s edge – goals, abs, and no drama. Lamine? Sweet, but… boy energy. I need a man who scores on and off the pitch.” The stream peaked at 1.2 million viewers before she logged off, laughing: “Oops, too real?”
Yamal, nursing a pubalgia tweak and a shattered ego after El Clásico’s 4-0 drubbing, went dark on socials. Sources say the Barca wunderkind – fresh off Euro 2024 heroics and a summer romance that went viral with Monaco yacht smooches – rage-quit training early Monday. “He’s gutted,” a Camp Nou insider whispered to Mundo Deportivo. “Thought it was mutual glow-up; now it’s public roast.” Fans speculate the split stemmed from Yamal’s Milan jaunt with Italian influencer Anna Gegnoso – but Nicole insists: “We ended it clean. He’s young; I’m evolving.”
X is a bloodbath. Barca ultras flood timelines with crying Yamal memes: “From Euros king to cuckold clown .” Madridistas feast: “Nicki trading Blaugrana for Blancos? Mbappé’s next assist!” One viral edit? Yamal’s cheeky nutmeg on Mbappé synced to Nicole’s diss track Mala Vida, captioned “Horned again.” Mbappé, 26, stayed coy – his IG? A shirtless gym flex with “Focus mode .” But whispers swirl: Did the Real Madrid phenom slide into her DMs post-Golden Shoe gala?
Nicole’s camp spun it as “honest vibes,” but the shade screams rebound glow-up. With her album Fuego Eterno dropping December – teased as “breakup bangers” – and Yamal eyed for Ballon d’Or contention, this Clásico cold war just went personal. One tweet sums the savagery: “Yamal nutmegged the world. Nicole nutmegged his heart.” Love’s a game, and she’s playing to win. Who’s next on her scorecard?
