Rapper Nicki Nicole reportedly leaves Lamine Yamal for 18-year-old Real Madrid star

Mastantuono, who joined Real Madrid in the summer from River Plate for $52.5 million, is rumored to have linked with the 25-year-old rapper, who has over 22 million followers on Instagram.

The fact that Mastantuono is 18 like Yamal and an emerging star in the football world, with a similar role on the field, has sparked a rivalry between the two, heightened by their respective teams: Barcelona and Real Madrid, The Sun reported.

Yamal and Nicole went public with their relationship on Aug. 25, when he posted an affectionate photo with the rapper to celebrate her birthday, putting his arms around her waist next to a cake.

However, on Sept. 1, all traces of Nicole disappeared from Yamal's Instagram account. The birthday photo, previously the only evidence of their official relationship, was removed. Similarly, there was no mention of Yamal on Nicole's account.

While rumors suggest Nicole, known for her music career and nearly 18 million monthly listeners on Spotify, has moved on quickly from Yamal, some fans have disputed the claims, with one popular Barcelona fan account clarifying that Mastantuono is reportedly in a long-term relationship with Fio Augustinelli.

Neither Nicole nor Mastantuono has publicly commented on the speculation, but the story has sparked reactions online, with some fans humorously pointing out the short-lived nature of Nicole's alleged relationship with Yamal.

"Haha, 13 days. Not even 2 weeks," a fan wrote on X.

Nicole has a history with rumors of relationship with footballers, and was also romantically linked to Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez in 2024.
