Yamal dances to P-Square's song

Lamine Yamal has taken his love for Afrobeats to a new level after vibing to P-Square’s hit song Shekini.

In a post shared on X, the 17-year-old shared a video of himself dancing alongside three unidentified individuals following Barcelona’s thrilling 4-3 victory over Real Madrid.

The young star excitedly flashed four fingers with both hands, symbolising the number of goals scored by the Catalans.

Ahead of the match, Yamal had expressed his admiration for Afrobeats, naming Grammy winner Burna Boy and chart-topper Rema as his favourite artistes.

The UEFA Champions League semi-final youngest goal-scorer has consistently shown love for Nigerian music.

During the March international break, he helped bring Nigerian singer Skales back into the spotlight after dancing to his hit Shake Body.
