The link between music and football is once again stealing the spotlight. Argentine singer Nicki Nicole and FC Barcelona star Lamine Yamal confirmed their relationship through social media, sparking a wave of comments and going viral at the end of August. The romance surprised many followers, especially due to their age difference and the artist’s past relationship with Mexican singer Peso Pluma.

Who is Nicki Nicole?

Behind the stage name Nicki Nicole is Nicole Denise Cucco, one of the most influential voices in Latin American urban music. Born in Rosario, Argentina, she rose to fame in 2019 with her single “Wapo Traketero” and cemented her career after collaborating with Bizarrap on “Music Sessions #13”, a hit that propelled her onto the international stage.

Her style blends trap, reggaeton, and R&B, with lyrics often inspired by her personal experiences and emotions. Over the years, she has released albums such as Recuerdos (2019), Parte de Mí (2021), Alma (2023), and Naiki (2024). She has also collaborated with big names like Rauw Alejandro, Trueno, and Christina Aguilera, establishing herself as a leading figure in urban music.

Now 25, the singer celebrated her birthday on August 25, 2025, with more than six years of professional career under her belt.

Her relationship with Peso Pluma

Nicki Nicole’s romance with Peso Pluma began in 2022 after they worked together on the remix of “Por las noches”. The couple appeared together at major events such as the 2023 Billboard Awards and confirmed their relationship publicly during a concert in Mexico that November.

However, things came to an abrupt end in February 2024, after images surfaced of Peso Pluma with another woman in Las Vegas. The Argentine singer expressed her disappointment on social media and deleted all posts related to him, marking the definitive end of their relationship.

Now with Lamine Yamal

Nicki’s current love life is tied to Barcelona’s young star Lamine Yamal, one of world football’s brightest prospects. Their relationship was confirmed when the player posted a photo with her on his Instagram stories, though they had already been spotted together at Yamal’s 18th birthday party.

The singer is seven years older than the footballer, a detail that hasn’t gone unnoticed online and has sparked both support and criticism. Despite the controversy, the couple has quickly become one of the most talked-about pairings of the moment, bringing together two headline-grabbing worlds: urban music and European football.
