Lamine Yamal, the FC Barcelona forward, addressed 19 questions from his fans in a recent YouTube video, including inquiries about his social media presence. One popular question concerned whether he owns the X (formerly Twitter) account under the username 'ryanbuss19', which matches his TikTok handle.
Yamal clarified, "I am 'ryanbuss19' on TikTok, but I don’t have a Twitter account. People just don’t want to look properly and think that it’s me." He explained that someone created a fake Twitter profile under his TikTok username that posted criticisms regarding football decisions, which he is not connected to.
"I’m not that person, I don’t have Twitter. Sorry about that," Yamal emphasized, adding that he occasionally checks X—but only when he is not trending or the focus of public discussion.
This openness sheds light on how the young forward strives to control his image in the social media era, avoiding false accusations and misinformation. Previously, he has shared parts of his life on YouTube, where he has amassed more than 2.5 million followers. Currently, Yamal is fully focused on preparing for the upcoming World Cup in North America.
