According to Sport, Dembélé posted a photo on social media holding last year's Ballon d'Or award, accompanied by song lyrics, prompting fans to speculate whether he was hinting at Mbappé.

The Ballon d'Or ceremony will take place on October 26, 2026, at London's Palladium Theatre. Lamine Yamal and Mbappé have been campaigning for the award for weeks. Mbappé previously stated in an interview with RFI: "There is no one better than me last season," and therefore, "if I don't win the Ballon d'Or, I will be disappointed."

Harry Kane, winner of the 2025/26 European Golden Boot, and Dembélé have not participated in related promotion campaigns. Previously, a brief exchange between the two sparked speculation about their relationship. Mbappé later told L'Equipe that he had spoken with his international teammate: "There is no tension. He is my friend, and I don't think there's an issue with that. I'm at peace."

PSG's number 10, Dembélé, previously stated he would not compete for the Ballon d'Or and supported Kvaratskhelia. He posted a photo on social media holding last year's Ballon d'Or, accompanied by lyrics from French rapper Ninho. Dembélé wrote: "I come with bags that need to be filled... The deep hatred within me seems reflected in my eyes... On the thirty-third floor, I exit the elevator, surrounded by angels. I build an empire, although many traitors are targeting us."

These lyrics sparked various speculations on social media, with some fans believing the message might be directed at Mbappé. However, this is merely an interpretation by netizens, and there is no confirmation that the song was intended for the French striker.
