Lamine Yamal is in the spotlight after he celebrated his 18th birthday party with a lavish party and allegedly hired professional dwarves as entertainment<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The Spanish government is set to investigate<\/a>, following a complaint by The Association of People with Achondroplasia and Other Skeletal Dysplasias with Dwarfism.<\/p>\n

However, Yamal has now been defended by one of the entertainers at the party who has spoken to RAC1 and offered his version of events.<\/p>\n

The artist, who asked to remain anonymous said: \u201cNo one disrespected us, let us work in peace. <\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t understand why there\u2019s so much hype. We\u2019re normal people, who do what we want, in an absolutely legal way.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor a couple of years now these people have been harming us, they want to ban a job that we like, and in no case have they offered jobs or courses to the affected people. We work as entertainers. Why can\u2019t we do it? Because of our physical condition?<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know what our limit is and we will never exceed it: we are not fairground monkeys.\u201d<\/p>\n

The entertainer also spoke about what the job had entailed at Yamal\u2019s party.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe dance, we distribute drinks, we do magic … there are many types of shows,\u201d he added and went on to explain that after working for an hour they were allowed to join the party. \u201cWe were one more, everyone had a great time. All this mess was formed just because it was Lamine Yamal\u2019s party.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lamine Yamal is in the spotlight after he celebrated his 18th birthday party with a lavish party and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":785,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[750,751,639,753,754,748,752,745,740,448,59,743,738,739,746,749,101,742,747,56,54,55,741,744],"class_list":["post-784","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-allegations","tag-barca","tag-barcelona","tag-barcelona-la-liga","tag-barcelona-team-news","tag-birthday","tag-blaugranes","tag-defended","tag-disrespected","tag-front-page","tag-gb","tag-lamine","tag-no","tag-one","tag-over","tag-party","tag-sports","tag-star","tag-th","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-us","tag-yamal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=784"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/785"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=784"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=784"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=784"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
