Lamine Yamal has sparked controversy after hiring individuals with dwarfism to entertain guests at his recent birthday celebration.

The Barcelona forward, who threw a lavish party to mark his 18th birthday, came under fire on social media after details of the entertainment emerged. The ADEE Association (Association for People with Achondroplasia and Other Skeletal Dysplasias) publicly condemned the Spanish player’s actions.

It is unacceptable that in the 21st century, people with dwarfism are still being used as entertainment at private parties—and it’s even more serious when public figures like Lamine Yamal are involved,” said ADEE President Carolina Puente in a statement.

The organization also announced it would be pursuing legal action against the football star, demanding that he acknowledge his responsibility in the matter.

We won’t stay silent,” the association added.
