A new video has emerged showing multiple ‘dwarf entertainers’ arriving at Lamine Yamal’s extravagant 18th birthday party, intensifying the backlash surrounding the Barcelona star’s celebrations.
Clips now circulating on social media show several men with dwarfism stepping out of luxury vans at the mafia-themed villa, dressed in suits and hats to match the lavish atmosphere.
The footage has fueled public anger and strengthened accusations that Yamal hired people with ‘dwarfism’ purely for entertainment, potentially breaching Spain’s disability laws.
The Ministry of Social Rights has already called on prosecutors to investigate whether the event violated laws that ban shows mocking or exploiting people with disabilities.
ADEE, Spain’s Association for People with Achondroplasia, condemned the scenes as “unacceptable,” vowing legal action and warning that using people with dwarfism as party props is degrading.
However, some of the performers have defended their role, saying they were treated well and did the work by choice, dancing, serving drinks, and performing tricks before mingling with guests.
Yamal, fresh off signing a $17 million-a-year Barcelona contract, has stayed silent on the scandal but did post a glossy highlights reel from the bash to his 36 million followers.
