Nicki Nicole may have already forgotten about Lamine Yamal and started a romance with a former River player.

Nicki Nicole is making headlines again, but this time not because of her music. Just days after rumors circulated about her closeness with Lamine Yamal, the Argentine singer was identified as the protagonist of a new romance: she is reportedly dating Franco Mastantuono, the young prospect who moved from River Plate to Real Madrid. Although the artist has not made any statements on the matter, social media exploded with speculation, criticism, and controversial comments.

The story about the connection between Nicki and Mastantuono was published by several Spanish media outlets, which claim that the two may have started a relationship after meeting in Spain, where he is currently adapting to the Merengue club. Franco Mastantuono, who is only 16 years old, is one of the biggest prospects in Argentine and European soccer, and his arrival at Madrid caused high expectations among fans.

The alleged romance became public just a few days after Nicki Nicole was seen spending time with Lamine Yamal, a Barcelona star, during a European getaway that many interpreted as more than just a friendship. Now, the singer's "jersey change" has sparked all kinds of reactions.

Social media reaction to Nicki Nicole's new conquest

As is often the case in these situations, social media was quick to respond. Among confused fans, disappointed followers, and anonymous users with harsh opinions, the singer's profiles were flooded with negative comments: "You're a ghost," "Leave those boys alone," "You ended up looking pretty bad" were just some of the messages that were repeated in recent posts.

Some users even went further and nicknamed her "the new Florinda Meza", ironically alluding to a controlling figure, while others labeled her as "botinera," a term in the Argentine media universe often used to describe women romantically linked to players.

When asked by the press about the alleged romance between his son and Nicki Nicole, Mounir Nasraoui, Lamine Yamal's father, was blunt. "These are kids' things. I don't know who she is. I don't even know her image, what her face looks like," he said directly, dismissing any serious connection between the young Barça player and the Argentine singer.

He then openly criticized her artistic career: "I listen to urban music from the United States. I don't get involved in those aspects. If something serious happened, I would get involved, but if not, he's living his life," he concluded, while requesting "a bit of privacy" for his son, making it clear that he doesn't intend to closely monitor his relationships.
