“I was born to die, not to be anyone’s dog”

Mounir Nasraoui, father of Lamine Yamal and known on Instagram as Hustle Hard, is once again making headlines after his latest posts.

The father of Barcelona’s No.10 shared a striking message on his stories:

“I was born to die, not to be anyone’s dog. Hustle Hard.”

According to Spanish media, the phrase was directed at those who criticize his outspoken personality and his constant, public defense of his son.

“I don’t need anyone”

In another story, Nasraoui pointed out that “80% of the views on my stories come from people who don’t even follow me,” and followed up with another strong statement:

“I don’t need anyone — only my mother’s blessing.”

The message was seen by many as yet another example of his defiant and unapologetic attitude, a hallmark of Lamine’s father, who rarely holds back in responding to criticism.

A History of Controversy

It’s not the first time Mounir Nasraoui has caused a stir online or at public events.

“Lamine, for better or worse!”
The outburst drew widespread criticism both from attendees and on social media.

The “Nuggets” Episode

Adding to his list of viral moments, Nasraoui was also at the center of the infamous “Nuggets video”, in which he appeared in front of a statue of his son explaining how to make chicken nuggets.
The clip went viral after he made a remark many found unfortunate:

“I’ll always live off him.”
The comment sparked a wave of backlash and memes across platforms, reinforcing the idea that Lamine Yamal’s father never goes unnoticed whenever he steps in front of a camera.
