Lamine Yamal’s Father Defends Him After Controversial Party: “He Did Nothing Wrong”

Munirnas Rawi, the father of young football sensation Lamine Yamal, has stepped forward to defend his son following widespread criticism over a lavish party organized to celebrate his coming of age.

The event, which featured performers with dwarfism and promotional models, sparked controversy in the media. Amid the backlash, rumors have surfaced suggesting that FC Barcelona, the club with which Yamal recently renewed his contract until 2031 and announced he would wear the iconic number 10 jersey, is concerned about the forward’s behavior. Reports claim the club has urged him to focus on his football career.

The summer has been eventful for Yamal, marked by parties, travels, and public appearances alongside influencer Fati Vázquez and adult content creator Claudia Babel.

These activities have fueled criticism about his off-field lifestyle. In response, Munirnas Rawi has publicly defended his son, dismissing the negative remarks as envy and emphasizing the achievements of his son.

“I don’t listen to criticism; I listen to my own opinions, and my opinion is that my son is doing things well,” Munir declared. “People, instead of looking at what’s close to them, focus on what’s far away from others, and they will die of envy.

That’s their problem.” He further stated that people should be proud of Yamal’s accomplishments, highlighting that his son is representing Spain as a national player while wearing the prestigious number 10 jersey.

“We should all be proud to have a national player here in Spain,” Munir said. “I remember the number 10 in Spain, in big teams, and I haven’t seen many. We should be proud to have a national number 10.”

Munir chose not to comment on the statements made by Spain’s Minister of Equality, Ana Redondo, regarding the controversy. Instead, he stressed the importance of celebrating Yamal’s success and invited critics to reflect on their judgments.

“My son has done nothing wrong. If he had, I would be the first, as his father, to grab him by the ears and tell him, ‘Lamine, this is not done, son.’ But my son has done nothing. If he had done something bad, the police stations are there, and people can go and file a complaint,” Munir concluded.

With these remarks, Munirnas Rawi stood firmly in defense of his son amid the wave of criticism surrounding his off-field activities. Despite the controversy, Yamal’s father remains steadfast in his belief that his son is on the right path, both as a footballer and as a young adult navigating fame and scrutiny.
