Yamal posted a childhood photo in his Instagram stories and captioned it with an emotional message: “Thank you all for the birthday wishes and for yesterday’s celebration, may God bless you all 💕⭐️🎂.”

As a reminder, Lamine threw a lavish private party for his birthday, inviting close family, friends, and several celebrities. The event was held under strict secrecy: guests were forbidden from taking photos, videos, or even using their phones at all.

However, the party may now land Yamal in hot water. He could face legal action for hiring people with dwarfism as entertainment for the celebration. An association defending the rights of people with dwarfism considered such actions disrespectful.
